Or, the McDonald's coffee lawsuit.
Uh, I'd venture that 99.9% of the people who bring this up as a supposed
example of a frivolous lawsuit, actually have never heard the real
story.
Fact 1: The woman received THIRD DEGREE burns.
Bull****.
The coffee was FAR hotter
than any reasonable restaurant ever serves it. This was a deliberate
ploy to reduce requests for refills, as the stuff couldn't even be
sipped for 10-15 minutes.
180F *is* appropriate for coffee. Dunkin' Donuts required that their
coffee be served at 180F +/- 3F, at that time. What she did is not
appropriate for a cup of coffee. BEcause of this nonsense it's
difficult to find a decent cup of coffee anymore.
Fact 2: The woman asked McD's to pay her medical bills, which IIRC were
a couple of hundred dollars.
Irrrelevant.
Fact 3: She brought suit only AFTER McD refused to pay the paltry
medical bills.
Irelevant.
