Til the woman who spilt a McDonalds coffee was demonized by McDonalds, the press, and citizens for lawsuit against McDonalds, which in the end everyone had gotten wrong.

Summary: Old lady buys coffee, McDonalds heats their coffee way past what’s legally permitted, old lady suffers 3rd degree burns in her legs and genitalia from spilt coffee, she seeks compensation ONLY for her medical expenses, McDonalds goes full PR against her and makes her look like a crazy sue-happy woman seeking millions, fox news and other major news outlets spread lies, McDonalds only gives her a coupon for a free bagel (I think it was a bagel), her medical bills were only about 55k yet McDonalds refused to pay, settled out of court.
