For those of you who only read the “media’s” remedy for the poor woman’s problems was a “warning label,” it is not. While the woman was compensated in part due to her injuries the real remedy was getting McDonald’s to serve the hot coffee at a more reasonable temperature. Credit also go to McD for addressing the issue and fixing the problem they were causing so that others did not receive 2* & 3* burns.
And yes a lot of you put coffee cups between you legs, on the dash, seat, roof and other places.

About a year ago, I sat on the couch with a cup of tea (fresh off the boil) holding it over my stomach. My husband bumped my elbow when he sat down and the whole cup spilled directly on my stomach. I couldn’t get my shirt off in time to prevent it from holding in more heat. It was exquisitely painful. Should all tea kettles have a warning on them saying that water is hot after boiling?
I know it was my own darned fault. I should have known better.

Wrong. Most fast food places still serve coffee at around 185. To get the coffee cool enough that it wouldn’t have caused those burns, it would have to be served at around 140 deg.
