Mrs. Liebeck 79 years old and a resident of Albuquerque, New Mexico, went to McDonald’s and trough the drive through window ordered a 49 cents cup of coffee from a local McDonald’s restaurant situated at 5001 Gibson Boulevard S.E. This happened on February 27 th ,1992.
Mrs. Liebeck was sitting on the passenger side seat of her grand son Chris who was driving the car at the time, a Ford Probe, and they decided to park so Mrs. Liebeck could add what she liked to her cup of coffee placed between her knees. When she pulled the lid of the cup of coffee towards her to have it opened she spilled the entire cup of coffee on her laps. Mrs. Liebeck was well dressed with cotton sweatpants. These pants absorbed the hot coffee, scalding her tights, buttocks and groin and her pelvic skin then her grand son Chris, decided to take her to the nearest hospital.
Where the doctors determined that she had suffered third degree burns on at least six percent of her skin and lesser burns over sixteen percent. Mrs.  Liebeck was admitted to the hospital and kept there for eight days, where she underwent skin grafting. During this time Mrs. Liebeck lost about 20 pounds a considered weight reduction caused by her burns. On top of this weight lost she was kept in the hospital for treatment, for almost two years. Mrs. Liebeck tried to settle with McDonalds for $20,000.00 to her actual and anticipated medical expenses.
She accumulated about 10,500 for her past medical expenses, and by then she had about 2,500 on medical expenses and her lost of income of about $5,000.00 for a total lost of approximately $18,000.00 McDonald’s, but the company instead offered the $ 800. McDonald’s was totally reluctant and Mrs. Liebeck then decided to retain a Texas Attorney, Mr. Reed Morgan.
Her lawyers filled suit in New Mexico District Court accusing McDonald’s of a “gross negligence” for selling coffee that was unreasonably dangerous” they also found out that the coffee defectively manufactured. McDonald’s also refused Morgan offer to settle for $ 90,000. McDonald’s was determined to reject all kind of offers. Morgan then offered to settle for $300,000.00 and a mediator suggested $225,000.00 just before the case hit the court for trial, but McDonald’s once again rejected the fi ...

He based his arguments saying that all foods hotter than 130 degrees*F (54*C) provoked a burn hazard, and that restaurants have some other more important things to worry about. According to the plaintiffs Mr. Appleton indirectly admitted that McDonald’s coffee would burn the mouth and throat of people’s if consumed right after it’s served.
I do agree, that cooked food should be served while its hot and the company or restaurant should served it in heavy containers to avoid any harm to the clientele, of course alerting the customers that the product have been taken out of the oven. When you go the any restaurant or drive through window, you decide what you like and you are supposed to check the quality or condition of your order to fulfill your satisfaction.
As a manager I would strongly recommend to have signs on the containers alerting the customer about the condition of the product served to them at that moment, and also will tell them to be careful. A good example of these practices is, can I have a cup of Hot Chocolate? Can I please have a hot Cup of Coffee? Knowing and having all advises, I am tempted to believe that the Jury was a little bit too lenient and probably biased after McDonald’s refused to accept to settle the case before going in front of a Judge.
In this course I have learned a great deal about compositions and regulations about Businesses, Industries, and companies functioning within and outside of the United States of America. I am even more convinced that this is the country where everything is regulated and those regulations must be fulfilled. This is the best Professor that I have ever had throughout my entire career.
