Well, it doesn't help that every coffee cup bears a "contents may be hot" warning, which is patently obvious to anyone who enjoys hot coffee.

The lawsuit itself may not have been frivolous, but the resultant disclaimers are silly.

Oh yeah... as far as this thread is concerned, the OP needs to learn about what constitutes a class action lawsuit. This doesn't even compute and in no way would a judge ever even hear such a matter.

Bodily harm or actual breaking a contract are usually in order just as a starting point...

Also, the fact that the temp of the MickyD coffee was identical to many of it's competitors AND the same as many home coffee makers on the market suggests the lady's lawer wwas very good at jury selection. :D

Nobody buys a car knowing all the trouble its gonna give them, that doenst make any sense!? I would have never bought mine if i knew it was gonna be a total failure consuming oil. I think its good that there are laws that protect the consumer, but a class action lawsuit for a gas guage deficiency is a little extreme

Go read the facts of that case and you may change your mind...

I think KillerBee is pointing out that in order to have a cause of action, one must show that s/he has either actually suffered damage (i.e., some sort of loss), or that a contract has been breached.

Well the new one (not sure how new) McDonalds is facing is a claim that they should not have toys in their Happy Meals. I dont have all the facts, but the basic premise is that because the Happy Meal has toys that appeal to children, it forces parents to buy their kids the food.

I hope that suit goes down in flames. Happy Meals are marketing, but is McD's alone in this? And so what if they are? If kids say they want McDonald's for food, the adult of the household can still say "no". You know, the adult, the legally responsible one? That party can dictate what the minors eat, after all it is their job.

That's just retarded. If they stop selling toys with the Happy Meal, it will kill most of their sales.
