Now the McD's coffee must contain the label "THIS IS HOT YOU ******!" . . Or something of the sort.

This sounds like the case where the woman tried to sue McDonald's because the coffee was too hot.




Except in that case the woman won...



Then it was laughed out of court on appeal.




Are you sure? This is what I thought happened:
The original award by the jury was for 8.4 Million U.S. Dollars. The appeals court reduced it to $480,000.





That's correct. But, then it was reduced again. She ended up getting Medical Expenses and Legal Fees. Which McDonald's was willing to pay her Medical Expenses to begin with.

The irony to the case is that this is the same type of women, that I believe would be complaining if the Coffee wasn't hot enough!

I'm sueing Walmart because I wasn't warned about the "welcome to Walmart" people. They should have warning signs or something.....
