Wow, that person's rather ignorant in general. The coffee case was legitimate; nobody's coffee should be heated to the point where it causes third-degree burns, which is what happened to the woman who spilled it on herself. That's not just a scald. That's serious.
From the 'Lectric Law Library:
A vascular surgeon determined that Liebeck suffered full
thickness burns (or third-degree burns) over 6 percent of her body,
including her inner thighs, perineum, buttocks, and genital and groin areas. She was hospitalized for eight days, during which time she underwent skin grafting. Liebeck, who also underwent debridement treatments, sought to settle her claim for $20,000, but McDonalds refused.
During discovery, McDonalds produced documents showing more than 700 claims by people burned by its coffee between 1982 and 1992. Some claims involved third-degree burns substantially similar to Liebecks. This history documented McDonalds' knowledge about the extent and nature of this hazard.
McDonalds also said during discovery that, based on a consultants advice, it held its coffee at between 180 and 190 degrees fahrenheit to maintain optimum taste. He admitted that he had not evaluated the safety ramifications at this temperature. Other establishments sell
coffee at substantially lower temperatures, and coffee served at home is generally 135 to 140 degrees.
Yeah. Frivolous lawsuit my (thankfully unscalded) ass...
