    Stella Liebeck, the woman who sued McDonald’s for serving coffee so hot, she suffered third-degree burns on her groin and thighs, was hospitalized for 8 days, and “suffered permanent disfigurement after the incident and was partially disabled for two years.”

    But everyone knows her as the “idiot who didn’t know coffee is hot.”

      Rec the documentary about this - Hot Coffee - as well as documentaries Bleeding Edge and Diagnosis. We are massively massively stolen from by corporations, who not only make bad products, but then lobby to deny us healthcare for all so when their products injure us, it is harder to get treatment and thus class action sue over the damages.
