I think she said she had the cup of coffee between her legs while riding in a car because there was no cup holder, but then she took the lid off to put milk or sugar in it or something which is when it spilled. It was a dumb idea to hold a hot beverage between your legs then take the lid off, but apparently McDonald's had already gotten a lot of complaints about the temperature they kept their coffee at and if they had done something about it earlier she wouldn't have been burned so badly.

>During the case, Liebeck's attorneys discovered that McDonald's required franchisees to hold coffee at 180–190 °F (82–88 °C). Liebeck's attorney argued that coffee should never be served hotter than 140 °F (60 °C), and that a number of other establishments served coffee at a substantially lower temperature than McDonald's. They presented evidence that coffee they had tested all over the city was all served at a temperature at least 20°F (11°C) lower than what McDonald's served. Liebeck's lawyers also presented the jury with expert testimony that 190 °F (88 °C) coffee may produce third-degree burns (where skin grafting is necessary) in about 3 seconds and 180 °F (82 °C) coffee may produce such burns in about 12 to 15 seconds.[2] Lowering the temperature to 160 °F (71 °C) would increase the time for the coffee to produce such a burn to 20 seconds.

170F coffee is still too hot to drink for most people, I would imagine. Most food is kept at 140F to keep it hot, so I can't see why you'd keep coffee at 190F. Keeping it 160F might be more suitable since most people want milk added, which might bring it down to a drinkable temperature.

It wasn't hotter than 100c but it was 88c and did still give her third degree burns on top of this she only got $600,000 total mostly just to punish mc Donald. They offed to settle for $90,000 before the lawsuit to cover medical expenses, but mc Donalds refused. As well as the fact that they weren't meant to hold the coffee at that temperature anyway as 88c is pretty hot and even if you got a shot of espresso it wouldn't be that hot when it gets to you. On the other hand it did conform to industry standards and it was the woman's fault it spilt on her lap.

Nobody is saying that's a good idea, fuckface. But if the coffee wasn't kept at near boiling temperatures she wouldn't have needed surgery after spilling it on herself.

Fresh coffee is hot, retard. Everyone knows to treat it with care.
It'd be different if there was some foreign substance in the coffee, like lye or something, that dissolved her flesh
But that's not what happened - she was injured because she spilled HOT coffee on herself, and HOT coffee is sometimes BOILING HOT.

>Fresh coffee is hot
I don't think McDonald's is brewing fresh coffee for each order. It was just being held at that temperature. Yes, she was retarded for doing what she did, but the extent of her injuries because of what temperature it was being held at was the focus of the problem.

Freshly poured coffee from the carafe, retard.
Once it's in your cup it begins to slowly cool.

Takes like 15 minutes for it to cool to a drinkable temperature from 190F, why keep it at that temperature after brewing? It only needs to be that hot for the actual brewing, but not for holding.

Coffee kept at 140F is still plenty hot and that's what most other hot foods are held at. Not really a good reason to keep it 50F higher, nobody is drinking it that hot and the potential for injury is a lot higher for no good reason. Nice strawman though, penisbreath.

I didn't say anything about that. Keep strawmanning. You're basically just talking to yourself at this point.

Wow, so literally as hot as fresh coffee typically is?
That lawsuit is 10x more retarded than I first thought.
Stupid fucking cunt suffered because of her own carelessness and negligence and some greasy shyster lawyer actually crafted an argument that made retards felt sorry for her and blamed the people who sold her the coffee.

Yeah, defense should have argued she got so hot (sexually aroused) from placing the cup in her crotch, that she in fact burnt herself due to the stimulation. That argument would surely have worked with a jury of majority women, lol!

Funny how many corporate dick suckers post in this thread or maybe you guys are McDonald's employees and feel the need to defend your corporate overlord? Nah probably pissed off europeans who just look for excuses to make fun of le dumb americans.
Either way, think about who you guys are defending here.
