The case is reminiscent of a 1994 trial when McDonald's was accused of serving its coffee at temperatures too hot for human consumption.
A California woman filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of California of San Francisco last week claiming she was injured by McDonald's coffee that spilled on her body.
A court filing says that Childress, who is in her 80s, experienced scarring in her groin area and continues to suffer from pain. The court filing says that Childress asked for help from three different McDonald's managers who refused to help her. She originally wanted to settle for $20,000, but McDonald's refused. A judge subsequently ordered McDonald's to pay $200,000 in compensatory damages and $2.7 million in punitive damages for McDonald’s callous conduct, the Texas Trial Lawyers Association said.
