McDonalds didnt just serve their coffee hot€“ their operations manual
required that is be served between 180 and 190 degrees; 30-40 degrees
hotter than other coffee-serving restaurants in the area. The Shriners
Burn Institute in Cincinnati issued warnings that coffee served above
130 degrees was €œdangerously hot.€� McDonalds knew that their coffee
was €œnot fit for consumption€� at the temperature it was served because
it caused third-degree burns within 3-7 seconds of contact with the
skin. In the ten years prior to this accident they had 700 complaints
of burns from their coffee, including complaints of burns to children
and infants from accidental spills.


The managers I talked to said they served it that hot so it would
still be drinkable when you got where you were going so you could sit
down and enjoy your meal. Nobody in fast food wants to admit they are
serving food drivers will be eating or drinking on the road. Too much
liability.
