The Truth About the McDonalds Coffee
Case
1: McDonalds knew of over
700 men, women, and children had been burned prior to Stella's lawsuit.
2: McDonalds admitted that
the coffee was not fit for human consumption at the temperature they
served it. McDonalds served the coffee at roughly 190 degrees. 190
Degree liquid will cause third-degree burns within 2-7 seconds of
contact with the skin.
3: Stella Liebeck was a 79-year-old grandmother who was the passenger
in her grandson's car.
4: Stella was wearing cotton jogging pants, and
the 190 degree liquid soaked into the pants. She received third-degree
burns to her thighs and genitals.
