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.
This person likely doesnât have a case. The reason McD lost the first coffee case was because at the time they were offering free coffee refills, so they cranked up the temperature so people wouldnât have time to sit and drink multiple cups.
Dozens of people had already been injured by this practice by the point the famous injury happened, and the courts had already warned McD to stop.
Your ignorance of the nuanced details of the case is showing
