A visitor from the U.S. got more than they asked for at a Toronto hotel restaurant when they ordered a cheeseburger on Monday night that was served with a waiver on the side.

    If you actually read about the hot coffee lawsuit you would know there is a lot more to it than just hot coffee.

      Like the fact they knew about it and settled for around 800000$ out of court with others victims ? Or the victim just asked for pay her medical bills and cover her daughter’s pay, as she left her job for be her mother carer ?

        If I remember correctly the issue was with the lids on the cups and not the temperature of the coffee. There was an issue, but it wasn’t as clear as just “hot coffee burns” because duh, hot coffee will do that.

          You are misinformed. Maybe there was a thing about coffee lids but it came out that mcdonalds had a policy to heat coffee that was to-go to unsafe levels so it would be warm by the time it got home. Like hot enough to cause third-degree burns. The lady who had her labia’s fused wasn’t the only person suing McDonalds for this.

            From the wiki

            Liebeck’s attorneys argued that, at 180–190 °F (82–88 °C), McDonald’s coffee was defective, and more likely to cause serious injury than coffee served at any other establishment.
