Is this because the meat slurry used to make nuggets contain bone? Thats what im assuming and not that a bone-in wing can be called boneless. But this is america so i have no idea.

It's probably just the result of someone suing after finding a piece of bone in their boneless wing.
Also, boneless wings tend to be made of cuts of breast meat, not the compressed meat slurry of nuggets. It's basically the only thing that separates the two.

It is the result of someone suing, but I have no idea what you mean with the modifier "just".
A guy bought boneless wings, ate them, one of them had a long bone in it that he swallowed and it caused a massive infection.
He of course sued, and the Ohio Supreme Court made this asinine ruling to protect the food supplier mega corporation, rather then forcing them to have proper quality control processes.

It's honestly one of the most mind boggingly stupid decisions I've ever heard. An Ohio State Senator introduced legislation in January to effectively tell the Supreme Court their ruling was dumb:

sigh fuck it, why not. After all, do we really want to live in a country where words matter and a corporation can lose a few bucks over negligence?

for fucks sake, aren't they just chicken nuggets?
-
generally, they're more like small chicken tenders. that is, they're whole chunks of breast meat, rather than ground chicken molded into a particular shape.

I mean these are the same people who think horse de-wormer is a panacea.

Boneless wings are an unholy amalgamation created by man to spite god, at this point they may have a bone, I don't care
-
Boneless wings are just cut up chicken breast. They are different than chicken nuggets which are ground up chicken scraps after the quality cuts are removed.

A restaurant served boneless wings which contained a large bone fragment by mistake. A factory deboneing chickens at scale can't be certain they got all the bones, some can be missed. A customer swallowed the bone fragment, became injured as a result, and sued the restaurant.
The court ruled that because chickens have bones, a bone being missed in the factory was not negligence, and the customer was not entitled to damages. If the contaminant were a foreign contaminant, like say metal or glass, it would have been negligent.
It was a 4-3 decision, but as it's Ohio's state supreme court, this ruling does not apply to other states.
Boneless wings aren't made from literal wings with the bones removed, they're made from breast meat cut in the shape of wings. Have you ever heard of someone finding bones in their chicken breasts bought from a supermarket? When supermarkets always use factory suppliers as well.
About the only thing I'd agree to is that it's not the restaurant's fault. They should have been able to declare their supplier to the court and then peace out of the whole affair.
You can buy chicken breasts with bones attached. There are bones nearby to all of the meat. Since it was a bone fragment, the bone must have broken at some point. I have found a fragment in supermarket chicken. Its rare but it does happen.
I personally think it was bad ruling, and some party should have been liable.
However, my intention was to summarize the court case in a neutral way.
