Where a 79 year old woman suffered 3rd degree burns to her pelvic region after spilling coffee in her lap?
- gambiting 4y agoWhile I agree that McDonalds should have been found guilty in that case(they deliberately set their machines to produce much hotter coffee than is standard anywhere) I feel like this is a case that could have been only won in the US, because only US courts give any time to stuff like this. Maybe I'm wrong, but my feeling is that a case like this would have been thrown out long before being heard in any other country - she spilled her coffee, it's clearly her fault(would have been the resoning).
- agumonkey 4y agoYeah I think so. I think I misremembered the burned area due to some standup that made fun of this later.
