Putting up a sign would not have saved them from that lawsuit, at the temperature they kept it 3rd degree burns can be caused within 3 seconds of contact.

  > Putting up a sign would not have saved them from that lawsuit, at the temperature they kept it 3rd degree burns can be caused within 3 seconds of contact. It would have prevented Stella Liebeck from even starting a lawsuit. McDonalds coffee temperature is the same that it's commonly used for hot tea in England (on the lower side, to be precise) The water temperature for black tea should be 90 to 98 C and for green tea around 80 C. It's all about not warning customers of the risks involved in managing hot beverages (in England they are probably asking how is it possible that adult people can't handle hot water, but that's another story, for another time)

    The temperature that coffee should be served at has nothing to do with the temperature that hot tea should be made at. Additionally, at the time that the woman got burnt, McDonalds was serving the coffee significantly hotter than they do today.

      > The temperature that coffee should be served at there is no such thing as "temperature the coffee should be served at" hot tea is still served at an higher temperatures than coffee your missing the point: don't use social networks as they ate are a private space, they are not and they even warned you about it.
