whoa canada
someone needs to turn down that sass level
Two things to know about Canada!
We are smart enough to know hot things should be hot.
We are sorry if you donāt
A few things you need to know about this hot coffee case:
It wasnāt an issue of the coffee being because no fucking shit coffee is hot, but McDonaldās had over heated their water to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Thatās 121C. Not just hot, but really FUCKING hot. Your fancy Starbucks lattes are brewed to 150 degrees.
The 79 year old woman had this cup of 250F (121C) coffee between her legs when it spilled so 250F (121C) coffee spilled on her genitals
She got third degree burnsā¦on her genitals. THIRD DEGREE.
She had to have skin grafts to repair the damage
When she sued McDonaldās, it wasnāt for millions of dollars, it was for $20,000 to cover hospital costs and court fees. 20-fucking-thousand.
It was the courts that awarded her the amount of money she got. Again, she only wanted hospital bills and court costs
McDonaldās changed their heating policy, but not before making her sign a gag order keeping her from talking about this case
So she had to live on hearing little shits like you call her stupid and money-grubbing, and other horrendous stuff because she dared ask the company in the wrong to fix what they fucked up.
MORE FUN FACTS:
9. The woman who was burned was not driving the car, she was a passenger.
10. The carĀ was not in motion when she was burned. The car was parked so she could add cream and sugar.
The coffee case is one of the biggest examples of a carefully-crafted smear campaign by a company that is in the wrong trying to hide that.
Additionally, several people had been badly burned by McDonaldās coffee prior to that case, both employees and customers, and McDonaldās had been fined and told to lower the heat of their coffee. They refused to lower the coffeeās heat, continuing to serve a product they KNEW from EXPERIENCE was dangerous, because they could.
When she was burned, she reached out to McDonaldās for them to cover her medical expenses. They sent her a coupon booklet as a big eff yuu.
She required skin grafts not just on her genitals but on her thighs, buttocks, and I think stomach. Like, it was a lot of skin grafts! And did you know that skin grafts donāt always take? She was very severely hurt by a product that McDonaldās knew for a FACT was dangerous.
But nah, go on talking about how she was just foolish and greedy, thatās obviously the case, big corporations have all of our best interest in heart, really they do.
Her name was Stella Liebeck. She has since passed away but I think itās important to name the victim in this story. Her name was Stella Liebeck and the coffee was so hot that it fused her labia together. It melted her genitals closed. But itās all just a giant joke, huh?
This was the lawyers for tort reform master plan. Reduce the number of injury lawsuits filed by making the case sound so ridiculous the public would ridicule people for filing in the future, thus discouraging the filing of valid lawsuits. And it worked. Weāre doing the corporations work for them.
