OT: Re: McDonald's hot coffee case. The Big Mack kept their coffee heated to 155 deg, which is far hotter than anyone can drink without getting very severe burns. I believe the evidence in the case was that there had been many, many complaints of injury for quite a while before the injury in the case at hand. McDonald's steadfastly refused to lower the temps to more reasonable levels. The lady in question did not know how scalding hot the coffee was and accidentally spilled it in her lap, causing very severe burns. The high damages were awarded to encourage McDonald's to reduce the temps. They did.
