The true story about the woman who sued McDonald's over hot coffee

All right I see your point and agree to a certain extent with the first paragraph. My point is that the definition of ‘extraordinarily high temperature’ is quite misleading in this context.

Even if they’d reduced the temperature by 10 deg F, (which they did later), the lady would still have gotten burnt (according to the sources I’ve cited above) due to factors such as the placement of the cup (between her knees with the likelihood that if the coffee spills, it could potentially burn a sensitive area of the body) as well as the cotton sweatpants which the defendants themselves agreed, exacerbated the problems.

I think though, that I am already beating a dead horse here. I’ve repeated my points and justifications ad nauseum and I think that its time for me to give it a rest. Have a great day!
