US elderly woman claims $2 million for McDonald's hot coffee burns
McDonald's hot coffee, which was awarded by a jury to compensate scalded customers for a sky-high price of 2.9 million yuan, led to litigation. A 74-year-old woman in California, who was scalded by the fast-food chain's hot coffee last August, decided to file a claim for more than $2 million after failed negotiations with McDonald's on Thursday.
According to lawyer Weina, on behalf of the customer who was scalded by McDonald's hot coffee, Ferro, a 74-year-old housewife living in Clovis, California, was unable to reach a settlement in negotiations with McDonald's on the 24th and will be formally admitted to the California Superior Court in Foslou County next year. Clovis is about 200 miles southeast of San Francisco.
Weiner pointed out that the negotiations with McDonald's were confidential, so it was not possible to disclose how much compensation McDonald's offered to pay.
Similar to similar cases in 1992
Weiner revealed that the case occurred in August 2012, when Ferro was poured on his knee by a cup of coffee at a McDonald's takeout window at the junction of Clovis Alluvial and Temperance, causing secondary burns to his lower body. "it still hurts and the burning feeling is still keeping me awake," Ferro said this week. "
McDonald's lawyers declined to comment on the case.
This case is very similar to similar cases in 1992. When a cup of hot McDonald's coffee spilled on 79-year-old Liebeck in Albuquerque, New Mexico, she suffered third-degree burns and had to be hospitalized. She sued McDonald's and won a resounding victory. A jury awarded her 2.9 million yuan in damages.
After winning the lawsuit, Liebeck immediately became the focus of criticism from all sides, and the talk show host, Dong Di laughing actress, satirizing the current malpractices writer, and political commentators all accused her of filing a boring lawsuit. After the presiding judge reduced the compensation to 650000 yuan, the two sides finally agreed to an undisclosed amount of compensation.
Like Liebeck, Ferro sued McDonald's for negligence, claiming that McDonald's actions were malicious and that employees knew that the coffee served to her was "unreasonably hot over 175 degrees Fahrenheit". Feloso asked for compensation for medical expenses, physical pain, mental pain, psychological distress and so on.
The warning sentence that the cup is very hot has been printed.
Weiner said McDonald's served super-hot coffee to save money, and he blamed keeping the coffee at the "hot temperature" to preserve the flavor of the coffee longer, so that McDonald's "does not have to rebrew the coffee often."
In order to protect itself, McDonald's has printed the warning sentence "handle carefully, I am very hot" on the coffee cup in English and Spanish.
Weiner also pointed out that Ferro's injury was more powerful than Liebeck because it was a McDonald's employee who spilled coffee directly on her when she handed it to Ferro at the car takeout window.
