The last is also a statement from someone who hasn't actually reviewed the McDonald's hot coffee incident. The McDonalds in question was serving coffee that was ridiculously in excess of anything that could be considered reasonable, had gotten numerous complaints, and the injuries were really quite bad - there are photos. I thought it was a silly ruling too, until I read the facts of the case and saw the photos.
