I was on a jury where the judge explained a bit more
about why that lawsuit
took place. Apparently, 1) quite a number of people got burned by the hot
coffee, 2) complaints had been registered with McDonalds, 3) hot coffee sold
more coffee, 4) the corporation decided that the additional coffee sales
were worth the risk of a lawsuit. There were some other items I've forgotten
but that is the general jist of that lawsuit. Regardless, I think the
lawsuit was just a way for people to avoid being responsible for their own
actions against a company with deep pockets.
Anyone who places an opened cup of hot coffee between their legs in a
moving vehicle deserves any thing that they get unless it is preceded by
a dollar sign!
