The level of injury is not irellevant. It is about what is reasonably expected. When someone gives me a food product to consume, it is reasonable for me to assume that the product is safe enough to not cause permenant disfiguration if I spill it on me. Burned, maybe, but to the point of requiring skin grafts, definately not. > (1.)

Was the product as-expected, consistent, for example, with others > that server the product? Aparently it was a little hotter than expected. > (3.) If injury results, was the product misused? Not intentionaly. This is why the jury decided she was partly at fault. > > ANSWERS > (1.) Yes. > (2.) Yes. In my experiments of the last 2 days the low temp of coffee > was 184^ and the high was 202^. > (3.) Yes. The women put "hot" coffee in-between her legs.

I believe I have explained this over and over. > (2.) When you order coffee from McDonald's do you think of "warm > coffee" or "hot coffee"?
