This is a trivial matter that the government should not be involved
in. A person can easily check the temperature of the coffee without
injuring themselves, they do not need the government. If people don't
like the temperature of the coffee being sold, they can go elsewhere.  A
law about this is ridiculous.

So let the coffee cool, or don't buy it from the places that serve it
too hot. Are you suggesting that you can't determine whether coffee is
too hot to drink without injuring yourself? If you need a few tips on
this, I can provide them.
