29. Not Sure If This Was Mentioned Or Not............

...........but not only were ALL McDonald's franchises warned repeatedly about the temperature of the coffee, but THIS PARTICULAR McDonald's got warnings from inspectors on at least THREE different occasions that they needed to reduce the temperature of their coffee to comply with the standards set forth by the McDonald's franchise agreement. But they never did it. Their coffee was something like 50 to 100 degrees HOTTER than the national standard allowed, and despite being warned to cool it down, they refused.

Also, the amount of money the woman got as an award, while it sounds like a lot of money (and it WAS), that amount represented the amount of money McDonald's makes nationwide from the sale of coffee in ONE DAY.

Tort reformers don't like you to know those "inconsequential" little details.
