A Scots waitress is suing Nando's after her 'skin melted off' when she was splashed with a cleaning product.
Mairi Espie was left seriously injured after some product soaked through her clothes while emptying a container of cleaning detergent. The liquid was so corrosive it burned through her jeans and melted the skin on her right thigh.
The 21-year-old from Dundee needed specialist treatment at A&E and although the wound has now healed, she has been left with a permanent scar.

Mairi went to Ninewells Hospital where medics provided a specialist washing treatment to remove the detergent. She was then bandaged and had to recover at home for more than a week.
Mairi, who graduated from Abertay University in July with a degree in criminology, added: “I wasn’t given any special apron or gloves or anything – we were just kind of expected to crack on.
“A legal action is not something I wanted to do but I felt I didn’t have a choice because
