If McDonald’s starts serving room temperature McNuggets, here’s why:
A Florida court awarded a mother $800,000 from McDonald’s after her daughter received second-degree burns from a piping hot McNugget that fell on her lap in 2019.
The jury reached the verdict after less than two hours of deliberation Wednesday afternoon.
Philana Holmes’s lawyers had demanded $15 million. Maybe she will receive the remainder when reparations are imposed.
McDonald’s is a favorite target of predatory lawsuits due to its visibility. In 1994, Stella Liebeck earned $millions by spilling McDonald’s coffee on herself in an infamous milestone in jackpot justice. That’s why cups come with a warning label that coffee might be hot. Surprisingly, there is no “This End Up” label on McDonald’s cups, leaving the company vulnerable to future lawsuits.
Like shoplifting, these lawsuits drive up prices for the rest of us.
