Restaurants better start warning all customers. There are too many lawyers in the USA.

Re: Warning! Your hot food may be hot!
I haven't had any McD's in over 7 years, and even Aldo wouldn't finish the burger I got from them back at that time. This is a dog that thought cat poop was tootsie rolls. Before that I hadn't had any McD's product in over 20 years.
If anything In my memory, the product tended towards tepid, to room temp at best. Except the chocolate shakes. They were reliably mind numbingly cold. -

A society predicated on the assumption that everyone in it should want to get rich is not well situated to become either ethical or imaginative.

Re: Warning! Your hot food may be hot!
We were in a hurry and stopped at McDonalds last week for the first time in a couple of years. Ordered two Quarter Pounders with cheese and two medium fries, nothing else. The bill was $18. Hell will freeze over before we go there again.Comment

Yes, and if lawyers and courts still do the stupid law suits thing, it will continue. Yale, Harvard, Baylor, Duke, etc. can't all produce corrupt politicians, there has to be a percentage of ambulance chasers in the crowd. (AND BTW..... That isn't "food".)Comment

Re: Warning! Your hot food may be hot!
Not a major McD's fan, but this is a totally bogus suit & should be appealed. It's more a case of improper parenting than anything the restaurant did wrong. Bold mine:
Why isn't the mother negligent for allowing that to happen? How can the restaurant possible be liable for that sort of situation?After she drove away, her daughter started screaming. The mother testified she didn't know what was wrong until she pulled over to help the girl, Olivia Caraballo, who is now 7, the newspaper reported. She saw the burn on the girl's leg and took photos on her iPhone, which included audio clips of the child's screams.
The sound of the girl's screams were played in court. The child, who is autistic, did not testify, the newspaper reported.
Lawyers for McDonald’s noted that the food had to be hot to avoid salmonella poisoning, and that the nuggets were not meant to be pressed between a seat belt and human flesh for more than two minutes.
The girl's parents sued, saying that McDonald's and the franchise owner failed to adequately train employees, failed to warn customers about the “dangerous” temperature of the food, and for cooking the food to a much higher temperature than necessary.
While both sides agreed the nugget caused the burns, the family's lawyers argued the temperature was above 200 degrees (93 Celsius), while the defense said it was no more than 160 degrees (71 Celsius).

Re: Warning! Your hot food may be hot!
Quit your bitchin Bob, if the nug was hot enough to melt skin, 2nd degree burns . . . they were liable. If the food has to be heated up to that degree before serving, then it must be allowed to cool. McDs markets itself as fast food and to children, they have had decades to perfect their methods. The second that food passes over the counter it should be ready to eat. That's it.In the US this perverted idea of “blood and soil” over “constitutional principles” is the most radical and anti-democratic and anti-Conservative idea I have heard in my lifetime.

Related: go check out the number of warnings stickers found on new boats. Builders are running out of space near the helm to locate them. Most are in response to successful negligence suits.
