Is there no such thing as personal liability any more? Is everything someone else’s fault? One thing brought up on that lawsuit was that there wasn’t a “proper warning label” that… DUH… coffee is hot.
Nah…There is no excuse for McDonalds. From what I read (correct me if I’m wrong) hundreds of people have been burned by their coffee. They want to continue to serve it scorching, ok…as much money as this corporation has is it going to inconvenience them one iota to put a warning label on the damn cup?? “warning: coffee is extremely hot”.
Not only that, but she asked for money to cover treatment costs that literally burned off her skin. $20k and MickyD’s would have been done with it. But, no, a billion dollar corporation chose to be greedy and it bit ’em in the arse. They got what they deserved.
There is personal responsibility sure, but there is responsibility for the products you make available to the public.
