And so you really personally believe that they should have been liable? Even though millions of drinks are served at or above the temp they served theirs at every year? Should every coffee shop in the world lower their temps to avoid extra lawsuits?

I sure hope so. Almost makes me want to find an excuse to buy an Toyota. That's what it will take though. If people start rejecting all these warnings, and taking their $$$ to less anal companies, then maybe they'll all back off. Because you can still sue and win even if there's a warning. It's just a waste of time and thought, and more money in lawyers' pockets.
