Not to derail this thread, but what temperature to you consider "hot". 180-190F that McDonalds used to serve their coffee? Or the 150F that they and every other restaurant serves it at now. They settled over 700 cases over 10 years because the coffee was too hot and they had money in their budget to cover the anticipated lawsuits. They knew they were endangering people and were OK with it. THAT is why they got punitive damages. Spilling coffee shouldn't put you in the hospital for 8 days.
