Seriously, is it too much to ask of the public that they have a brain before they participate in life without supervision????? Apparently. People, especially Americans (oh, the irony), want a Whiffle Life on a Nerf Planet.

This is why I can't get a hot cup of coffee anywhere. We need to stop this crap.

The lady from the infamous McDonald's coffee case suffered third degree burns over 6% of her body. The lady from that case purchased an item she had to reasonably assume was going to be served hot, and placed such item between her legs before removing the lid, an action she decided on without the slightest duress from any outside force, including McDonald's employees.
In short, her actions precipitated her injuries, which makes it 100% her fault, no matter what some brain dead fools sitting in a jury box thought.

DD is not responsible for her once she leaves the premises, correct? Common sense would dictate that, yes, but you have to remember, it was that way for bartenders once.

The specific circumstances were ignored, though.

The specific circumstances surrounding the McD case were ignored because all anyone knows about the case is that an old lady got a bundle for spilling coffee on her lap. If this thing, by some miracle, goes to a jury then that's all jury will know, too.

I believe you are a troll and your purpose here is to make FreeRepublic look bad.
No rational person wishes to pour scalding water in the manner and for the purpose you suggest. You are a nut.

This Dunkin' Donuts is in my neighborhood, and I've been there before. This story is very fishy, to say the least.
To: nickcarraway
Another dolt from GuidoIsland. Probably works for the city, like most folks on the socially "conservative"/fiscally stupid/congenitally corrupt open air dump that is Richmond County. ;-)

I wonder which of the many ambulance chasing law firms on Staten Island is going to take this case? I figure it's the guy with the vicious-looking dog on the billboard!

Ah. Finally finished a parody on the subject.

Of course, the real problem with this type of lawsuit is the donut shops will start serving coffee that's colder. When I want it hot, I want it HOT dammit!

Hmm.. Looking forward to the new Dunkin' Donuts "scratch & lick" microwavable coffee sticks. If you heat it too much it just melts into a puddle. Got to keep the morons from hurting themselves.
To: nickcarraway
....and the workers didn't fasten the lids tightly enoughStarbucks doesn't put lids on drinks anymore precisely for this reason. You have to do it yourself these days.

My apologies. My comment was completely inappropriate. I am guilty of not engaging brain first.
To: nickcarraway
Sharon Shea said she suffered second- and third-degree burns to her legs when two steaming cups of joe tumbled out of the carrier tray as she and a friend drove away from the Dunkin' Donuts parking lot on Forest Avenue. Huh. Forest Avenue - I grew up in that area of Queens. I seem to remember the IQ pool being a little higher back then.
