The incident took place last Thursday at 5am.

Madeline and her boyfriend, Alex, 17, were having a meal at McDonald's at Scape after a night out at the movies.

They were seated at a table outdoors.

Madeline had placed a cup of hot tea on the table and was about to tuck into her Fillet-O-Fish when she placed her elbows on the table.

"It happened so fast - the table slipped under the weight of my elbows, spilling hot tea on me," she recounted.

The private school student suffered first- and second-degree burns as a result.

The 16-year-old and her boyfriend claimed McDonald's did very little to help them, and her parents said they may take action against the restaurant.

But when contacted, McDonald's said it twice offered to send Madeline and her boyfriend to the nearest hospital by taxi, but they declined.

It also said it had checked the tables to "verify that they are stable and safe for use".
