AH jeez, I bet it was McDonald's fault when that dumbass lady burned herself with hot coffee. Sometimes stupidity is at fault.
FYI McDonalds served their coffee much hotter than industry recommendations and hotter than competitors, McDonalds had had over 700 complaints about the temperature of their coffee and had settled many cases resulting from injuries to their too hot coffee. The lady involved asked for her current and future medical bills covered ($18,000) McDonalds refused. She THEN hired an attorney, who asked for $90,000, which McD refused. McD ultimately paid somewhere around $500,000. If you go to a faucet and turn on the hot water and it is set to scald you in 3 seconds are you a dumbass because the faucet said hot, or is the company at fault for setting a temperature way higher than accepted or usual? How would you feel after learning 700 people were injured from that faucet, and they settled those cases?
I am certain the railing will be raised, if nothing else, because attendance may suffer. When I sat in the front row of the Cell's UD, it took me three or four innings to be comfortable, there is no way I would have even stood to catch a ball.
