The situation was not that the coffee was too hot. What happened was that a woman had purchased a cup of hot coffee from a McDonald's. While she was driving, the coffee spilled into her lap and burned her. She sued McDonald's on the basis that the cup did not have a printed warning about the coffee being hot (such as CAUTION: CONTENTS HOT), and because it was true that the cup did not indeed have such a warning, she won the case.
