I know all the yuck yuck jokes on how coffee is SUPPOSED to be hot, but McDonald’s has been known to ignore inspector’s warning on their temp on coffee.
There is “hot” coffee and there is “boiling liquid.” McDonald’s can’t seem to get the two apart.
The coffee lawsuit from several years back is an example of just that. That location had been warned at least four times that the temp of their coffee was at almost boiling level. The woman suffered second or third degree burns which is NOT the normal coffee temp.
So not assuming this guy is stupid. We don’t know the extent of his burns.
The reason I know this is because we studied it in a continuing education class for my insurance license. It was on frivolous lawsuits, and we were all surprised to find this out because all thought it was a silly suit too. Then we learned the facts.
