Hot Coffee, Is Justice Being Served?

You may have heard that Suzanne is going to be featured in a film about “Tort Reform” which focuses on the public’s perception of frivolous lawsuits, following the McDonald’s coffee case. After learning the facts and seeing the photos, rather than just believing what the news media reported, your perception will be changed, as ours was. Stella Liebeck, a passenger in a parked car, spilled coffee in her lap when removing the lid to add cream. During the case, Liebeck's attorneys discovered that McDonald's REQUIRED franchises to serve coffee at 180–190 °F (82–88 °C). At that temperature, the coffee causes a third-degree burn in two seconds. Her case became a punchline, and was even the subject of an episode of Seinfeld.
