Temperature vandalism
[edit]"Liebeck's attorneys argued that at 10–11 °F (−12 – −12 °C) McDonald's coffee was defective, claiming it was too hot and more likely to cause serious injury than coffee served at any other establishment. "
That can't be right. Somebody fix that, please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.115.208.61 (talk) 16:56, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

- Obviously very old vandalism long-ago corrected. You're responding to a comment from six years ago having nothing to do with the current article content. TJRC (talk) 20:09, 1 December 2022 (UTC)

Other reasons for temperature
[edit]Not sure, but I thought I've read that McDonald's was also serving coffee hot so that those dining in couldn't drink it fast enough to be ready for a free refill, and to mask the quality of cheaper, inferior beans. Jason McHuff (talk) 15:32, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
- @Jmchuff:, if you can link a reliable source, I'd be happy to add that into the article. Squeeps10 Talk to meMy edits 05:43, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
New case, 2023. Very similar.
[edit]Maybe too early an event to add in, WP:Notnews. But, check it out A woman is suing McDonald's after being burned by hot coffee. It's not the first time. The burn victim claims the lid wasn't on all the way, however, which does seem a significant difference.
