☆ McDonald's sued for 'severe burns' from spilled hot coffee — again
  + stars: | 2023-09-20 | by ( Alex Portée | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
A San Francisco McDonald's is being sued after a woman in her 80s allegedly sustained "severe burns" from a scalding cup of coffee and was refused help by store employees. Childress alleges that the incident caused her to suffer severe burns, scarring, emotional distress, as well as hospital and medical expenses. Peter Ou, the owner and operator of the San Francisco franchise in question, responded to TODAY.com's request for comment via email. According to NBC News, in 1992, 79-year-old Stella Liebeck sustained third-degree burns when a hot coffee from a New Mexico-based McDonald's spilled onto her lap. In a statement to local outlet SFGate, her lawyer, Dylan Hackett, said the coffee cup had not been "properly" covered and the coffee itself was "scalding."

☆ Woman sues McDonald's over hot coffee spill nearly thirty years after the original infamous coffee lawsuit

A San Francisco woman is suing McDonald's over a hot coffee that spilled and burned her. The coffee spilled and gave her severe burns in her groin area, the court filing said. The most famous scalding incident came in 1994 when 79-year-old Stella Liebeck sued McDonald's for a hot coffee burn. Liebeck initially received a $2.9 million jury award after receiving third-degree burns from spilled McDonald's coffee. Years later in 2014, a Los Angeles woman sued McDonald's for allegedly serving her a hot coffee drink that badly burned her.
