Yeah she was a stupid bitch who put a cup of coffee (HEY MAYBE ITS COLD) between her legs, then drove, and spilled it all over her legs.

The more facts you hear in that story, the stupider the woman looks.

During discovery, McDonalds produced documents showing more than 700
claims by people burned by its coffee between 1982 and 1992. Some claims
involved third-degree burns substantially similar to Liebecks. This
history documented McDonalds' knowledge about the extent and nature of
this hazard.

McDonalds also said during discovery that, based on a consultants
advice, it held its coffee at between 180 and 190 degrees fahrenheit to
maintain optimum taste. He admitted that he had not evaluated the
safety ramifications at this temperature. Other establishments sell
coffee at substantially lower temperatures, and coffee served at home is
generally 135 to 140 degrees.

Further, McDonalds' quality assurance manager testified that the company
actively enforces a requirement that coffee be held in the pot at 185
degrees, plus or minus five degrees. He also testified that a burn
hazard exists with any food substance served at 140 degrees or above,
and that McDonalds coffee, at the temperature at which it was poured
into styrofoam cups, was not fit for consumption because it would burn
the mouth and throat. The quality assurance manager admitted that burns
would occur, but testified that McDonalds had no intention of reducing
the "holding temperature" of its coffee.

Actually that exact same injury happened to thousands of others that year and McDonald's coffee was set at like 10,000 degrees so that no one could taste the shitty taste. Interestingly when the lady sued the cups were made safer and the amound of injuries decreased dramatically.
 
Plaintiffs' expert, a scholar in thermodynamics applied to human skin
burns, testified that liquids, at 180 degrees, will cause a full
thickness burn to human skin in two to seven seconds. Other testimony
showed that as the temperature decreases toward 155 degrees, the extent
of the burn relative to that temperature decreases exponentially. Thus,
if Liebeck's spill had involved coffee at 155 degrees, the liquid would
have cooled and given her time to avoid a serious burn.

McDonalds asserted that customers buy coffee on their way to work or
home, intending to consume it there. However, the companys own research
showed that customers intend to consume the coffee immediately while
driving.

Uh she spilled the coffee on her while driving then sued because the cup didn't say "Warning, Hot!"

How fucking idiotic do you have to be to not know Coffee is hot?

OK I know how to solve the gun problem. Put a warning label on the gun in big red letters that says "Warning, May Fire Lethal Projectiles" :rolleyes:

Ok, good point. Firearms manufacturers are only allowed to sell to licensed dealers. But, let's say that all went hunky-dory. How is the manufacturer still to blame?

in the end, no matter how stupid the woman was, the coffee was too hot. Rules were broken. Now the cash reward involved is retarded, but McD's was at fault
 
I think I'll believe ElMar's 700 people in 10 years over this guy's thousands of others that year.

IMO, it's irrelevant.

It doesn't fucking matter how hot the holding temperature is. It probably drops to a manageable temp. within 60 seconds of being poured.

The fact is, what kind of fucking moron puts hot coffee between their legs, and then drives?

And the cups weren't made safer, everyone who sold coffee just had to put "CAUTION: COFFEE IS HOT" on their stupid cups.

I dunno I think it's all bullshit.

I can't wait for somebody to sue God for destroying their house in a Tornado.
 
BTW I have burned myself w/coffee before, because I was stupid and let it spill on my arm right after I poured it. Possibly even twice in one year.

For some reason I am intelligent enough to keep hot beverages away from my genitalia and inner thighs.

:shrug:

After receiving the order, the grandson pulled his car forward and
stopped momentarily so that Liebeck could add cream and sugar to her
coffee. (Critics of civil justice, who have pounced on this case, often
charge that Liebeck was driving the car or that the vehicle was in
motion when she spilled the coffee; neither is true.) Liebeck placed
the cup between her knees and attempted to remove the plastic lid from
the cup. As she removed the lid, the entire contents of the cup spilled
into her lap.

The jury awarded Liebeck $200,000 in compensatory damages. This amount
was reduced to $160,000 because the jury found Liebeck 20 percent at
fault in the spill.
