[QUOTE="Tim/South, post: 1083728, member: 17986"] McDonalds never admitted how hot the coffee actually was, just that they serve it hotter than normal. The lady went into shock before they got her to the hospital. Her skin peeled off. Yes, the temperature of the coffee matters. It was near boiling point to do the damage to this lady it did. She had to have skin grafts. The pictures are not a sentimental or emotional tactic. They are evidence of what this lady endured. If we are going to compare this to guns, then a gun designed to blow up when fired would seem to be acceptable by some. We have standards in most areas to protect the user of the product. McDonalds admitted they knew the standards yet elected to ignore them. She was not scalded. She had third degree burns and her skin peeled off when they removed her clothing in the ER. Her suit was only to cover what her insurance and medicare would not. I can easily see how the jury was furious over what McDonalds caused by intentionally serving coffee that would cause a person's skin to peel and expose muscle. Note that McDonalds stated they intentionally served coffee at a temperature well above industry standards to appeal to a larger customer base. Who was being greedy? [/QUOTE]
