Interesting that the article didn't provide more details on the timing. Anyone who's worked at a McDonald's, or any major fast food, knows that food lives and dies by the timers. Nuggets are one of those things that require being rested after they are cooked and before they can be served. The holding drawers should be set at a food safe temperature that is also safe to serve and eat. My guess since McDonald's USA was not found liable is because they do have the proper procedures for cooking and resting before serving in place. This franchise just happened to not be following the procedure. Which unfortunately is common during busy periods.

Most of the time I am at a McDonalds they keep the McNuggets hot under a heat lamp instead of freshly frying them. You are lucky if they are even warm sometimes as they are cold. For $11.99 in the Drive Thru or MCD App you can buy 40 McNuggets at some McDonalds and I am lucky to get them hot and fresh. Still I suppose the McNuggets came from the fryer and they didn't bother cooling them down. This is just like that Hot Coffee lawsuit where the lady put the cup between her legs and took the top off to add sugar and creamer and it spilt and burned her groin. McDonalds had to add a "Caution Contents May Be Hot" to their cups to avoid any more lawsuits.

It's not even clear that the franchisee served them too hot: > She soon heard a scream after one of Olivia’s nuggets got wedged between her thigh and the seatbelt for almost two minutes[1] Two minutes is a long time for something even at serving temperature to be pressed against your skin.
