You're asking internet randos to explain something to you that is an easily researched matter of public record. I too used to think the McDonald's coffee case was a punchline for an overly litigious America. Then I read the horrifying details.

All the links I got talked about the temperature or were random opinions about the case. Someone else in this thread brought up the defective cup design as the other point of culpability. That's the sort of information that I was looking for but couldn't find.
