A mother has spoken about her horror after claiming her children ended up smothered in poo during a trip to McDonald's .

Michelle Dowman, had treated Mariah, 13, Keira, 9, Brooklyn, 7, and Charlie, 5, to a meal at the fast food restaurant after school.

As Michelle and her husband Scott ordered food, the mum asked her children to find a seat.

She claims when the couple arrived at the table, her children, two of which have bad eyesight, were found covered in faeces from both the table and chair.

McDonald's has launched an investigation into the matter, reports Lincolnshire Live .

Michelle said: "My husband and I took the kids to McDonald's for a treat for their dinner, so they were still in their school uniform.

"They had asked to play on the iPad in the restaurant, but other kids were on it, so we asked them to go and find a seat while we ordered the food.

"It was then when we came back – my son Brooklyn was screaming saying 'There is something on me and it stinks'.

"It was then I realised it was poo. Three of our four kids had some of it on them, and my eldest and youngest have bad eyesight. Brooklyn, though was absolutely smothered in it.

"Keira thankfully didn't have any on her, but we had to get a cloth and wipe down the others, there was that much on them.

"It was vile and it smelt, really bad. I can't believe the staff didn't notice it was there. We took the kids out and got them undressed in the car.

"I was shocked with the way they dealt with it – you would at least expect them to cordon off the table."

A McDonald's spokesperson said: "We are sorry to hear about the customer's complaint. The restaurant team is currently investigating the matter and will be in touch with the customer shortly."
