Really gotta read that case to know why that woman got a settlement (that was reduced a ton on appeal).

She had to get skin grafts, folks. And there were internal memorandum from McDonalds execs acknowledging they were serving that shit way too hot but that it made the restaurants smell better so they did it anyway as a business strategy. And if you want to punish them for knowingly serving a thing that can hurt people in the name of selling more McMuffins, then the award has to be BIG because they're a billion dollar enterprise.

The McDonalds verdict made a lot of sense when you start to break it down. And again - it was reduced on appeal anyway.

Yeah people need to do some research about that case.
McDonalds was serving coffee intentionally over 160 degrees. They knew what they were doing and as you mentioned had an internal memo come to light that they knew they would be liable and were willing to take the risk because they thought it boosted sales. She not only had to get skin grafts on her inner thighs but also on her pussy. The coffee caused nerve damage to her. McDonalds got off light.
What would your dick and the normal usage of it be worth to you?

Yeah, people just rolled eyes and bitched about horrible lawyers and our poor justice system.

For me it was a great part of our system of justice. A business knew their product was dangerous to the public but kept it that way because it made them more money.

Lawyers and bad publicity keep businesses from making that decision on a daily basis. That helps protect us consumers from dangers we don't know. It had to be a large settlement to modify their behavior.
