FAST-FOOD giant KFC has apologised after a girl recovering from a dog attack was allegedly asked to leave a restaurant because her appearance was frightening other customers, a national newspaper said.
Three-year-old Victoria Wilcher lost her right eye, suffered a broken jaw, nose and cheekbones and facial scarring when she was mauled by the pitbull, according to the Metro.
KFC said it has launched an investigation into the claims, which were posted on social networking website Facebook.
A spokesperson said: "Please accept our sincere apologies while we try to investigate this incident.
"We have zero tolerance for any kind of disrespectful behavior by our team members. Once we have further details, we will immediately investigate this and take action, and we wish nothing but the best for Victoria in her recovery."
The toddler was reportedly attacked by three pitbulls in April. The incident is said to have happened at a KFC outlet in Jackson, Mississippi.
