McDonald’s once again sued after customer burns herself on hot coffee
McDonald’s is being sued over a hot coffee spill, again.
McDonald’s is being sued over a hot coffee spill, again.
This time, a San Francisco location is being accused of serving a “scalding” cup of coffee with an improperly attached lid, which allegedly resulted in the coffee pouring out on plaintiff Mable Childress’ body and causing “severe burns” after she tried drinking it.
The lawsuit, filed last week, alleged that the elderly woman is suffering from “physical pains, emotional distress and other damages.” The restaurant’s negligence was a “substantial factor” for her injuries, it alleged.
Childress also said in the lawsuit that the restaurant employees “refused” to help her, a point that the McDonald’s denied.
You're viewing a single thread.
I don't think "burns herself" is quite the turn of phrase I would've chosen but then I don't like the taste of boot leather so... yeah.
Yeah, I swear I’m reading more and more articles/headlines that seem slanted in favor of the corporate side.
Possibly. Or maybe you're more aware of it now.
Yeah, hard to say without a systematic review of news media I’ve consumed.

"Is burned by" rather than "burns self," it's that easy
Doesn't matter, if you hand someone a cup with a lid on it you expect the lid is secured you aught to check anyway but still. If they simply have her a cup and a lid and she spilled somewhere in the process of putting one onto the other they wouldn't be responsible.
