All you people making jokes or shaming this woman need a reality check.

Yes, it was capable of melting polyester and burning through all layers of skin down to the muscles. Coffee is intended to be consumed by mouth. Coffee served so hot that it MELTS polyester and skin is not a product being served in a way that is appropriate for its intended use.

No, because you’re the one who heated up the milk to that temperature. And because we all know that if you spill hot liquid on yourself, it will burn and hurt for 10 days. The one thing you have in common with the McD plaintiff is that your risk of spilling the milk was perfectly foreseeable. People are clutzes. But…

People are crazy?

NO. Read the facts of the fucking case. She an elderly woman who got third god damn degree burns. COFFEE SHOULD NOT BE SERVED BOILING.

McDonalds disabled the safety features on its coffee machines to save money, knowingly serving a dangerous product as a result. Coffee spills; show me a coffee drinker who hasn’t spilled his/her drink. at some point. The result of such a spill should be a stain and a little stinging, not the smell of melting flesh,…

Except that spilling coffee is a foreseeable risk, and manufacturers who sell products that cause serious injuries in foreseeable instances without proper safety guards and adequate warnings (labeling a coffee “hot” when it is hot enough to burn through jeans and skin is not an adequate warning) are negligent and…

Are you trolling or did you seriously not see the multiple comments explaining how the woman ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL WITH SEVERE BURNS ANd $20K IN BILLS because McD’s made a little bit more money with super heated coffee they could sell faster?

Anyone who talks shit about this woman should see those pictures.

She got third degree burns ON HER GENITALS. She needed skin grafts and spent 8 days in the hospital and then required 2 more years of medical care. She initially wanted about 20k for medical bills and lost wages (she was hospitilzed for 8 days). McDonalds offered 800$ so she sued. She didn’t get millions and she was…

“She deserved the shit she got because she was clumsy and spilled a beverage that she knew was hot on herself.”

I think that in the EU we have better food standard laws than the USA (and our food products are better for it tbh).

It was too hot in her case, too. The restaraunt had been warned repeatedly to lower the temp of their coffee. I’m not sure why your dad’s case invalidates hers. People are klutzy; I drop my phone four times a day at least. That’s why drive-through restaurants shouldn’t serve beverages so hot they’ll melt skin,…

Dunno how it is for you guys, but here in Europe you can’t call stuff not from the actual Champagne, Champagne.

1. it’s not shit. If the OJ box said 100% real juice, it’s illegal to not sell 100% orange juice. If you advertise free Champagne you have to deliver precisely that. (In the context of our law, of course, I don’t know how things are done where you live...)
2. In english the term is sparkling wine, in french it’s…

In that case the coffee was so hot that it MELTED her jeans to her skin. She deserves every penny that she got from them. McDicks was very smart to play the press game and insure that everyone thought that she was an idiot who didn’t realize that coffee is in fact hot.

In a world where people are more and more disinterested and cynical about politic, I think it’s specially important to have strong consumer protection. Pushing back against false advertising is an important part of this. The way corporation and company advertise and give information to the public should be regulated.

Their actual ages are closer to the ages they’re playing now (early-mid forties) than the ages they were originally supposed to be (early-mid twenties). Yes, it’s Hollywood late 30s, but I buy it. I don’t buy that 20 years has passed, so much.

She had grey streaks which she dyed and he now has to wear glasses, how much more realistic could 20 years of aging get?

Congratulations* on their long relationship!
