If you forgot how disgusting capitalism is for 2 seconds, remember that McDonalds served their coffee at 190 degrees, which is hot enough to leave 3rd degree burns in just 3 seconds of contact with skin. They knew this and decided to serve the coffee at 190 degrees because it had
a longer shelf life than serving it at the standard 160 degrees. They calculated that burn related law suits would cost less than just wasting coffee that wasn’t good anymore. They risked people getting deadly burns to save money. And when the big law suit happened they slandered
the victim, who had 3rd degree burns on 16% of her body and nearly died from shock. They painted her out to be dumb for not realizing that coffee would be hot and made it seem like a frivolous lawsuit of someone who was trying to scam them.
also literally all the victim, Stella Liebeck, wanted was that McDonalds pay her 20,000 medical bills because she was poor and medicaid wouldn’t cover them. Then the media made her out to be a greedy scammer.
oh this was AFTER they had 700 burn related lawsuits from the previous year https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/2016/12/16/13971482/mcdonalds-coffee-lawsuit-stella-liebeck
