But but I thought the cup told you spilling coffee would hurt!

Lawsuit lottery!

If it is hot enough to burn you then the MacDonald’s suit might be precedent.

The McD suit was actually righteous. The coffee was so hot it caused 2nd degree burns. That is too hot for your mouth so I do not understand that anyway.

There is some level of ‘assumed risk’ that will be considered here by most judges. Stuff happens. It’s not always criminal negligence or ‘evil’ cashiers.

Tomball anywhere near Houston?

It's a BS suit, but nevertheless I hope she gets millions of dollars and that it serves to damage Starbucks' bottom line.

We need to adopt the system used in other countries where, if you lose, you must pay for the defense’s attorneys fees and all court costs.

Damn, if I ever go there I get Cold Brew...

She would not have bought cold coffee. Being hot enough to be desired was a feature they were seeking out.

Just as with those McDonald’s lawsuits this should be thrown out … but it will not be,

Coffee is hot, who knew?

[digger48]

That caustic crap coffee will burn you when it’s iced down

[albie]

This is one where I hope she wins! Lots!

I will admit that I’m addicted to their Chai Tea Latte. MMMMM.... good. With that said, I have always tasted it before leaving to ensure I wasn’t given the wrong item. On occasion, it has been so hot it about scalded the inside of my mouth. So, it does happen.

First and second degree does not add up to “severe.”

Makes as much sense as severe paper cut injury ...
