STUDENT1 RESPONSE
Yes, so the critical duty of care here was toserve coffee at a reasonable temperature, which they exceeded. What was thestated reason for keeping the coffee this hot? What were the argument that itshould be held at a lower temperature?
Yes, there did seem to be some misinformation in the public. I don’t know wherethese stories originated, but initially it was claimed that she was driving andshe was trying to put creamer coffee while the car was in motion. Also it isinteresting to note that she was not alone in her complaint. There had manyother people who had also complained to McDonald’s, but none of this has anyimpact on them.
STUDENT2 RESPONSE
NOVIOLATION
Professor and Classmates,
I don’t think McDonald’s violated their obligation ofcare when serving their coffee. Common sense says that coffee is servedhot. Why should McDonald’s be held accountable for someone not payingattention to their beverage? If McDonald’s is keeping within the industrystandard of coffee temperature wise, then they have already proven theirobligation of care by maintaining the authorized temperature and not selling aproduct that falls below standards. Ms. Liebeck unfortunately did nottake heed to the fact that the coffee would be hot. Was this her firsttime having coffee from McDonald’s? If not, was she negligent for knowinglyputting the coffee between her legs? This should not fall on the part ofMcDonald’s because they maintained their temperature. It is not like theymade their coffee especially hot just for her. Why didn’t the persondirectly before and after her not get burnt? If obligation of care to theconsumer has to be written for all things common sense, then we should havewarnings for ice cream being to cold, jaw breakers being to hard and everythingin between.
