Tort Reform Scam?

Man, they handed her a cup of liquid that caused a third degree burn when some of it sloshed on her and you don't think it's McDonalds fault, when they are the one that literally handed her a very dangerous object without any warning whatsoever?

That's just stupid.

[The Dharma Bum]

If I hand you something that is potentially harmful without telling you that there is a possibility of harm and you take this object and it harms you it's my fault you were harmed.

That's all there is to that. If your coffee is hot enough to cause damage you have to have a warning.

The McDonald's case is cut and dry. McDonald's had received more than one complaint about coffee temperatures from that location. After the incident, when it was investigated, they found that restaurant had been serving coffee at between 180-190 degrees. Which, by the way, is the lower end of a car radiators temperature. The Quality Assurance department at McDonald's even admitted that they know coffee couldn't be consumed at that temperature without burning your mouth and throat.

No consumer would reasonably expect being handed a beverage that hot... period.

Beyond that case, f**k tort reform. Just a bunch of corporation's trying to limit their liability further. f**k them.

Tort reform has to be one of the biggest scams in the american political discourse. Thank god it went the way of George W Bush.
