Utah woman critical after drinking restaurant's tainted tea

By Jennifer Dobner SALT LAKE CITY (Reuters) - A Utah woman was in critical condition in hospital on Friday, five days after suffering burns to her mouth and esophagus from drinking sweet tea laced with a powerful lye-based cleaning solvent at a local restaurant. Jan Harding was dining with relatives at a Dickey's Barbecue Pit in the Salt Lake City suburb of South Jordan on Sunday when she poured herself tea from a self-service beverage dispenser. Her mouth began burning after just one sip, South Jordan Police spokesman Sam Winkler said.  "She did not swallow it. The second it hit her mouth, the burning was so intense, she spat it out," Winkler said.
