Not quite. They were serving coffee at just below the boiling point. Not by accident and not for aroma. It was policy because if they serve almost boiling coffee, the dine in customers can't drink it while they sit there because it's too hot. They then take it with them and thus McD's saves the cost of having to refill coffees for free. This woman was not the first to get ridiculous burns from it. They knew it was way too hot, way above industry standards, but served it anyway to save 15 cents per cup.

The funny thing is that the McD's coffee lawsuit is the most commonly used example of a frivolous lawsuit when in reality it was totally legit.

There was a documentary about it on HBO a while back.

Exactly.

The lazy media ran with the "spill coffee on yourself and sue" storyline and never actually looked into what actually transpired.

Because of that, you have a generation of people that believe it was a frivolous lawsuit. Corporate lawyers even championed it as a reason to limit punitive damages.
