McDonaldâs is being sued over a hot coffee spill, again.
This time, a San Francisco location is being accused of serving a âscaldingâ cup of coffee with an improperly attached lid, which allegedly resulted in the coffee pouring out on plaintiff Mable Childressâ body and causing âsevere burnsâ after she tried drinking it.
The lawsuit, filed last week, alleged that the elderly woman is suffering from âphysical pains, emotional distress and other damages.â The restaurantâs negligence was a âsubstantial factorâ for her injuries, it alleged.
Childress also said in the lawsuit that the restaurant employees ârefusedâ to help her, a point that the McDonaldâs denied.

Thatâs not true in the US. We have Good Samaritan laws that prevent responders from being sued for helping a victim, so long as the victim gave consent (or there was immediately consent due to unconsciousness).
