Maroons I tell you, maroons. The world is full of maroons.
Woman sues McDonald's after daughter is burned with hot chocolate. It is called HOT Chocolate for a reason, eh?
Not Luke Warm Chocolate or Refreshingly Room Temperature Chocolate.
Hot.
H-O-T.
Hot.
The chicagobreakingnews.com website, that's The Chicago Tribune, WGN-TV and 720WGN's website, reports that a "Northlake woman sued McDonald's in Cook County Circuit Court today claiming that her daughter was seriously burned in 2009 when a hot chocolate she ordered from the fast-food giant spilled and seriously burned her leg."
Hot.

Hot.
There is a precedent of course. "In 1994, an elderly woman was awarded over $2 million after suing McDonald's for burns she suffered when coffee she bought at a drive-through window spilled in her lap. That amount was later reduced by a judge."
I would write more but I have to call my lawyer; some of the special sauce from my Big Mac just stained my Levi's. That has to be worth a shekel or three.

Have to disagree. There are lots of different kinds of hot. Look at your hot water heater temperature gauge. There's the setting with the green, then the yellow, then the red. If you have kids or seniors in the house, you use the green setting so they dont get scalded, but it's still called hot water. Neither, do you leave your hot chocolate on the hottest setting when you know that the beverage will be (best) inserted into your customers mouth right away, or (worst) spilled onto their person. AND if you've been found guilty of serving wildly hot beverages before, you take special care not to do it again.
