A Dunkin' customer says hot coffee fell on her lap at a drive-thru, causing "severe" burns. The lawsuit says a Dunkin' worker hadn't put the lid on properly. When an employee handed the cup of coffee to the woman, its lid wasn't secured and came off shortly after, spilling the hot coffee on her legs and body, her lawyers said. Morgan & Morgan attorney Benjamin Welch said in a statement that the woman "had to re-learn how to walk due to the severity of her burns." Dunkin' – formerly known as Dunkin' Donuts – wasn't named as a defendant in the lawsuit, CNN reported.

New York CNN —A Dunkin’ franchisee is paying a woman $3 million to settle a lawsuit involving hot coffee falling on her lap that she alleges caused severe burns and life-altering injuries, according to her lawyers. “America may run on Dunkin’, but our client had to re-learn how to walk due to the severity of her burns,” said Morgan & Morgan attorney Benjamin Welch in a statement. Other lawsuitsThis case echoes the famous McDonald’s hot coffee lawsuit several decades ago, in which another woman spilled coffee on her lap and suffered third-degree burns. The coffee was “30 to 40 degrees hotter than coffee served by other companies,” the law museum said. Morgan & Morgan founder John Morgan said in a statement that “restaurants still have failed to learn their lesson to prioritize customers’ safety.
