I came in expecting you to be angry at the woman.

Glad to see you are angry at the right people. They deserved to be hammered hard from it all.

I always thought the old lady was just being a crazy person. Then I actually looked into the story and realized she was completely reasonable.

If anything I think mcds slandered her to discredit.

ABC did, too.

They had a report showing how everyone is so sue-happy and painted the lady as someone suing just because the coffee was hot.

That specific McDs had been told multiple times their coffee was too hot, near boiling.

And they didnt secure the lid properly.

If the coffee was at the temp it was supposed to be, she likely would not have received any 3rd degree burns but still would have gotten 1st and 2nd degree.

The cup itself was too hot so she spilled it on herself and got burns. Its before Mcdonalds started using sleeves and Starbucks doubling up on the cup.

For more detail, the burns were so bad they fused her skin together in places. She would've been severely burned if she drank it. Rather than acknowledging the mistake and apologizing, mcdonalds focused their PR work on running a misinformation campaign showing the woman as clumsy, reckless, and greedy, haven spilled her drink while driving and gotten mad. Instead she was parked, the lid was loose causing the spill, and she was only seeking reimbursement for medical costs.

Ric Flair went to the ER from a McDonald's coffee burn like 6-12 months before this woman got burned. A weird fact I remember.

I hate that I fell for the PR flip and thought "Man this lady trying to sue because she was careless about a cup of coffee".

Thankfully, I eventually got the true story and realize how bullshit that was.

It was one of the first instances I know of the media being deliberately misused like this. Fooled a LOT of people :/

Yeah, and their campaign succeeded. The vast majority of people believe it was a frivolous lawsuit, and always will.

Also, what they ended paying was only the profits of one day's sale of coffee.

What annoys me is that you have to warn people that coffee will be hot...iced/chilled coffee is usually labeled as such so common sense says you're coffee is hot unless you ordered cold coffee specifically.

People in the US are sue happy, it's even worse for corporations, look at Game Freak, they want to sue people for doing God's work, exposing a lazy bad game and helping consumers.

She didn't even want a payout, just medical coverage.

The coffee was hot enough to fuse her labia to her inner thigh.

I think this is what got people upset. She wasn't the first person to be badly injured from hot coffee but you can bet the other individuals weren't receiving the originally reported 3 mil for their injuries. Either way that jury fixed the problem because McDonald's was being negligent.

One of the cases we reviewed in my business law class in undergrad was this. It's crazy how good McDonald's misinformation campaign was. Most people went into the case thinking the woman was to blame and after reviewing it no one thought so.

That's one of those details from that case that I wish I didn't remember.

Yeah, the whole pr shit was shady as fuck. I'll never forgive them for down-sizing their parfaits, though.
