Mobster Gioeli testifies in $10M suit

[Pogo The Clown]

Ah coffee is supposed to be hot. No way should someone get millions for spilling coffee on themselves. It is just another symptom of our utterly corrupt society that something like that could happen.

Liebeck acknowledged that the spill was her fault. What she took issue with was that the coffee was so ridiculously hot — at up to 190 degrees Fahrenheit, near boiling point — that it caused third-degree burns on her legs and genitals, nearly killing her and requiring extensive surgery to treat.
McDonald’s apparently knew that this was unsafe. In the decade before Liebeck’s spill, McDonald’s had received 700 reports of people burning themselves. McDonald’s admitted that its coffee was a hazard at such high temperatures. But it continued the practice, enforced by official McDonald’s policy, of heating up its coffee to near-boiling point. (McDonald’s claimed customers wanted the coffee this hot.)
Liebeck didn’t want to go to court. She just wanted McDonald’s to pay her medical expenses, estimated at $20,000. McDonald’s only offered $800, leading her to file a lawsuit in 1994.
After hearing the evidence, the jury concluded that McDonald’s handling of its coffee was so irresponsible that Liebeck should get much more than $20,000, suggesting she get nearly $2.9 million to send the company a message. Liebeck settled for less than $600,000. And McDonald’s began changing how it heats up its coffee.

Copy and pasted that form an article, 190 degrees is way too hot, the lady almost died. Not too far off from boiling. And she got less than $600,000, not the millions people think.

The article said 190 degrees, and McDonalds admitted to it despite having over 700 complaints about it. Regardless of your view on it, it's hard to feel bad for Mcdonalds for having to pay 600,000 with all the money they make.

Lol I'm on the right on most issues, including minimum wage. McDonalds screwed up and were rightfully sued. When you read the headline it sounds petty, I thought the same thing, but if you actually research the case you'll see McDonalds was wrong. Off subject tho so I'm done talking about it.
