http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Restaurants The Wiki article points out that most other coffee vendors...as well as home coffee makers brew at the 195-205 degree range and they recommend that you keep it at 180-185 degree range. It also states that they have been sued as well...but it doesn't state if they were successfully sued or not, with the exception of a case against the coffee maker manufacturer Bunn where courts ruled in their favor. I just think it is ridiculous that the warning on the cup and lid that McD's had in place wasn't large enough or boldly worded enough. That's why I think this whole case was ridiculous. What are they supposed to do, attach a neon sign that says, "hey you fucking moron, since you are too stupid to understand what content may be hot means, this coffee is hot so don't spill it or you might get burned"? -----Original Message----- From: G Money [mailto:gm0n3...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2010 2:02 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Whitesnake (the band) loses appeal in court....kind of funny.

Since the McDonald's case, I don't think any fast food restaurants still serve their coffee at scalding temperatures. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:322460 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
