This is just like the idiots that put an open cup of hot coffee between their legs as they leave McDonalds.

Only the opposite.

The Liebeck case was very different.

I keep telling people that I was injured by a room temperature bologna sandwich, but no one believes me.

The customer was contributorily negligent, but McDonald’s was certainly at fault. The store made the coffee something like 40 degrees hotter than they were supposed to so they wouldn’t have to make it as often if it cooled down. The woman was burned so badly it almost killed her and she needed skin grafts on her privates. They were on notice that their coffee was dangerously hot, but they kept choosing the lazy way.

IIRC she only wanted her medical expenses covered initially until McDonalds blew her off. It was not frivolous.

People like you have no idea what happened in that case and shouldnt reference it.

They microwaved cold coffee until it was melting the cup and when it fell on her as they handed it out it boiled her femininity off. That was a situation where a representative of a company went far outside of any responsible guidelines.

Being too stupid to know that frozen things can be hard is entirely on the consumer.

The end result of protecting people from their own stupidity is to live in a world full of fools.

If something is too hard to bite down on, whether because it is frozen or otherwise too hard....common sense should tell us not to bite down hard. If it is frozen, give it a little time to thaw. Common sense. I hope this lawsuit is dismissed because of her stupidity.
