We simply disagree. She ordered hot coffee, that it was hotter than a home coffee maker is immaterial. McDonald’s coffee was on par with industry standards. But in the end she spilled it on herself. This was like suing a sledgehammer maker because you dropped it on your toe.

The McDonald's Hot Coffee Case Find Law
McDonald's coffee was served at a temperature between 180 and 190 degrees Fahrenheit. McDonald's had long known that this was 20 to 30 degrees hotter than the coffee served at most other restaurants; in fact, this temperature range was indicated in its operations manual. In the 10 years before the case, more than 700 people who were scalded by coffee burns made claims against the company. But McDonald's never lowered the temperature of its coffee.
