well, that wasn't an email, that was me doing a little bit of research on the case. i found others that support , too. so, while you go around thinking you know it all, i take the time to make sure my facts are straight. i still think it's a frivolous lawsuit. the woman should have accepted her responsibility for her actions, but the temperature of the coffee was too high to trust to the general public. 180-190 degrees fahrenheit causes scalding, which could lead to 3rd degree burns. the fact that she had to have the burned skin removed turns my stomach, but it shows you how badly she was burned - by a cup of coffee. that's ridiculous.

typically lawsuis of this variety are supposed to show the rest of the industry what is acceptable and what isn't. as soon as people found out the truth about what it was that happened, everyone turned their thermostats down (ie, wendy's, burger king, et al).
