Why not have the driver hold the cup or play with it on the dashboard? Sounds like an accident waiting to happen. What idiot holds hot liquids between their legs while playing with it?

This may seem like a large amount, but keep in mind that this was during a decade long period in which the company had sold tens of BILLIONS of cups of coffee. If you number crunch that, you have a better chance at being hit by lightning than seriously burning yourself on McDonald's coffee. I would also like to point out that the 700 complaints included non-serious incidents as well, and were not all major injuries, as well as the fact that previous settlements including the $500,000 one were, in large part, due to a McDonald's worker spilling the coffee or otherwise being at fault and not the injured party.
