A child pop star is suing an airline after allegedly swallowing a wooden skewer from a chicken satay meal served on board, which damaged her vocal cords. The lawsuit raises concerns over the safety of in-flight catering, particularly for young or vulnerable passengers, and highlights the potential for serious, career-affecting injuries from something as ordinary as a meal skewer.

The article does not specify further details of the incident, the airline involved, or the amount being sought in damages, as the available text was truncated before providing this information. The case centres on claims that the skewer caused injury serious enough to affect the young singer's voice, a particularly significant issue given her career as a performer.
