To be clear, the hot coffee warning is there because a particular McDonald's franchisee elected to keep their coffee at boiling levels and then serve it to unsuspecting customers at the drive-thru. This practice resulted in extremely serious burns to the genitals of the woman who famously sued.
I take your larger point, but I feel your example is one better suited to Seinfeld or a comedy act.

One of the most misunderstood cases in american history and the misunderstanding means that many states created laws to limit exposure which IMO is extremely bad for the average american.
