I'll write this again for those of you that are hard of reading.
The women received third degree burns and required skin grafts. That's not a sunburn. That's not a blister. That's the complete destruction of tissue. All from a cup of coffee. She was in the hospital for eight days.
McDonald’s served the coffee at approximately 190 degrees. McDonald’s admitted coffee at that temperature is “unfit for human consumption”; 190 degree liquid causes third-degree burns within 2 to 7 seconds of contact with skin.
And you think that McDonald's is not liable for causing a permanent disfigurement plus pain and suffering?
Wow!
A frivolous law suit is a judge in DC suing a dry cleaner for $58M for losing his pants. A woman being burned by near boiling coffee from a company that knows it is wrong, is not.
(This really is all I have to say about that)
