McDonald's Coffee Lawsuit Resurfaces
McDonald's faces another lawsuit over hot coffee as an 85-year-old woman spills coffee in her lap, causing first-degree burns. The woman claims negligence on the part of McDonald's, stating that the lid was not properly secured and that she was ignored by employees when seeking help. The franchise owner denies any negligence. This case echoes the infamous Hot Coffee Lawsuit of 1992, which resulted in a 79-year-old woman receiving severe burns and costing McDonald's over $20,000 in medical expenses.
