    Yes, McDonalds coffee is kept at far hotter temperatures then other resteraunts to extend the life of the coffee. Yes, they did know that it had already caused serious burns from spills.

    Still, that woman should have known that coffee is hot and not asked for the cost of her medical bills to be paid by McDonalds when she required multiple skin graft surgeries to heal the third degree burns to her genial area. I mean, come on, how could McDonalds by liable for that?

      That’s not comparable at all. McDonald’s basically sold an unsafe food, so they were liable. Food companies, restaurants, etc. are held to a certain standard for what they service.

      Other than being inaccurate (every map ever made is inaccurate), can you explain how Google is responsible for a driver’s skill or ability to pay attention to where they are going?

      There have been some wild cases of people using in-car navigation and driving off dead ends, into water, etc. We laugh and call them idiots. What else can you do?
