Thanatos340 1 #1 May 22, 2007 Anyone else here try any of the new Self-Heating single serve Coffees? Just tried one for the first time. Followed the directions, Activated the heating agent, Waited for the Pink dot to turn white (A few minutes), The outside of the container didn’t feel warm at all, So I took a Big Swig.. OUGH!!! Holy SHIT!! That got HOT!! I have no idea how it tasted because if burned my tastes buds off. I think it is a good thing. A hot cup of Coffee whenever you want it no matter where you are.. But Careful. They mean it when they say Self-Heating!! Now my Tongue hurts. Any ideas on how I could sooth it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightingale 0 #11 May 22, 2007 Quote What kind of warnings are on the cup? Maybe you could sue. How much did that person from McDonald's get? Ms. Liebeck offered to settle the case for the amount of her medical expenses only. McDonalds refused. "Public opinion is squarely on the side of McDonald's. Polls have shown a large majority of Americans - including many who typically support the little guy - to be outraged at the verdict. ... It's a reaction that many of the jurors could have understood - before they heard the evidence. At the beginning of the trial, jury foreman Jerry Goens says he "wasn't convinced as to why I needed to be there to settle a coffee spill." At that point, Mr. Goens and the other jurors knew only the basic facts: that two years earlier, Stella Liebeck had bought a 49-cent cup of coffee at the drive-in window of an Albuquerque McDonald's, and while removing the lid to add cream and sugar had spilled it, causing third-degree burns of the groin, inner thighs and buttocks. ... What the jury didn't realize initially was the severity of her burns. Told during the trial of Mrs. Liebeck's seven days in the hospital and her skin grafts, and shown gruesome photographs, jurors began taking the matter more seriously. ... Even more eye-opening was the revelation that McDonald's had seen such injuries many times before. Company documents showed that in the past decade McDonald's had received at least 700 reports of coffee burns ranging from mild to third degree, and had settled claims arising from scalding injuries for more than $500,000. ..."http://www.marlerblog.com/2006/07/articles/case-news/the-truth-about-the-mcdonalds-hot-coffee-case/ The jury awarded an amount equivalent to a day and a half of McDonalds coffee sales.

livendive 8 #18 May 22, 2007 I keep trying to explain the details to folks, but it's more socially acceptable to taunt the case. The initial lawsuit was simply for medical bills. The coffee was intentionally made absurdly hot so that nobody would stick around long enough to take advantage of the free refills. It continued to be made this hot despite hundreds of other burn claims and settlements. This woman wasn't driving, she was the passenger, and the car was parked at the time of the incident. The coffee was so hot that she spent 8 days in the hospital and had to have several surgeries. How much is genital reconstruction worth to you? If I remember correctly, the final settlement was reduced substantially...to somewhere in the half-million dollar range. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"
