Stella Liebeck Case: Age Demographics and McDonald's Coffee Liability

The case of Stella Liebeck exemplifies the ongoing liability issues McDonald's faces with its hot coffee. Liebeck, who fell outside the ideal age demographic of its coffee drinkers, suffered severe burns from coffee served at temperatures above 170°F. As long as McDonald's continues to sell coffee at these high temperatures, it may face settlements for similar incidents. This raises questions about product safety and corporate responsibility towards consumers, particularly for those who may not be in the primary target demographic.
