Ok,
Since the McDonalds suit, ALL hot cups of beverages have several warnings on the cup including Starbucks. If he did not read the warning, BUT the hot tea cup had such a warning, HOW and WHY would any attorney take this case? Also, why is it at the NY Supreme Court? Nothing else pressing to decide but burned crotches?
…and as long as we tolerate this crap from personal injury attorneys it will only get worse. Many moons ago the insurance industry tried to get legislation passed dealing with frivolous lawsuits and caps on awards but it went nowhere. Keeping in mind that most of our legislators are attorneys. I think that may be my new criteria at election time. I will only consider voting for you if you are NOT an attorney.
Congress… get off your arse and get limits on these stupid law suits. It’s clear our congress is in kahoots with trial lawyers and there is no end in sight for frivolous suits until there’s tort reform. These bottom feeders sue because they can and liberal judges allow it.
We all continue to be hosed by bottom feeders.
funny i was about to say the same about icecream… does anyone understand the terms HOT and COLD? does anyone understand that this is costing more money to take to court… to me, if this is bound for NY Supreme Court, sounds like he lost the first battle and wants to extend this… sounds like the lawyer just wants more money and more mental anguish (for not winning in the first place)… STARBUCKS i salute you for standing up!
We all know from the McDonald’s case that if the tea was too hot for human consumption and Starbucks had reasonable knowledge that it was too hot then this person has a good case.
what word do we not understand? what eyes do we have in our heads to believe that if ordered hot, it is cold?
goes back to being a responsible! our society today would rather sue, even when it’s our own fault. they figure with the way the economy is, they will wind up with lots of cash and retire!
first of all, how long after getting the drink did he burn his hand? did he not get the cup from the attendant after paying for the goods and move away from the counter? did he sit down somewhere and then possibly have knocked over his cup? i think this person has a lot explaining as to when/where he burnt his hand. if not had done it from the counter, then anything after that is his fault!!

They should use scumbags like this as IED detectors in Iraq. Sorry if that’s a bit harsh but this is just pure stupidity.
Doesn’t starbucks have a cardboard band on all their cups to keep you from burning your hand?
Whats next? He sues Baskin Robbins b/c the ice cream he/she bought was too cold and gave him a brainfreeze and a belly ache?
Wah wah wah…you want some cheese with that whine?
LOL @ Jackie Chiles “who put the cheese on it? I didn’t tell you to put the cheese on it. You people with the cheese…it never ends!”
New York Supreme Court is a regular lower level court – not like a supreme court most states have. The highest court in NY is the court of appeals.
