Re: How Low Will The Lawyers Go?
When I first heard of the McD's case I had the same reaction as everyone else. Then after reading details i thought McD's was in the wrong. Now I'm not so sure.
Why shouldn't McD's be able to sell hot coffee? Many people like hot coffee. I think that when I pour boiling water into a cup at home it's likely hotter than McD's coffee. The idea that companies cannot sell products that are potentially dangerous is ridiculous. When I cut of my hand with a saw (one with a higher RPM than normal saws) or shoot myself with a gun (wich deadlier that average ammo) can I sue the maker of the saw or gun? Likely not. The reason would probably be something like it is self evident that these products can hurt you. Same should be true of hot coffee.
