Hot coffee is hot. Groundbreaking stuff right there.

Ok, I know this is not a popular stance...but the coffee was more than hot. It was scalding hot. And the franchise had been warned about the heat and the containers. Several times.

The woman was maimed and it was the franchisee’s fault.

No, was the punishment appropriate? I don't know. Was the cases excessive? Not when it is viewed in the proper context.

But again, that is not exciting nor newsworthy. Facts are sometimes detrimental to a good story.
