No, it's far worse than McDonalds being careless: They knew that their practice was dangerous, and regularly resulted in medical treatments, yet did not change their procedures.

Unless they serve the coffee at a completely unrealistic temperature, someone out of millions will be regularly injured. So how many people are still injured at 160 degrees?

The fact that someone gets hurt does not prove that there was negligence. Compare how many people get into car accidents on the way to McDonalds.
