And she didn't even ask for the massive compensations she eventually got, she only asked McD to cover the medical expenses, as she had to spent a fair amount of time in a hospital because of the burned crotch she had.
Not unreasonable by a mile, but after that case, corporations have tried making pretty much all lawsuits against them seem completely ridiculous. I wonder why...
That said the dude in the photo does look guilty af.
Third degree burned crotch too. It wasn’t just a little too hot and she got a little burn. It was extensive.
Yes, literally life-threateningly bad burns. Not just an owie.
Melted labia. They gave her so much money because of course they did, the lady’s labia melted and McDonald’s had been warned before
That's how shitty they are, they wouldn't even pay the medical bills when they knew that their coffee was way too hot. They knew it was way too hot because their guidelines said to make it too hot to mask how bad it is.
Agree strongly.
However the reason they used such hot water to create coffee was that using 98C water to make coffee gives you more coffee from the same amount of coffee grounds than using the recommended 90C. Shittier coffee yes, and hotter, but more of it.
The actual reason they kept the coffee at that temperature (since it usually wasn't freshly brewed the brewing temperature doesn't matter) is that hotter coffee takes longer to drink, which means fewer refills (which used to be free when this happened).
