Sorry, bud, I stand by my original post.

700 people is a huge number of people to make claims against a company for any one product.

IMHO, the temperature of your home brew is immaterial. The vast majority of other food establishments sold coffee that was 20 degrees cooler than Mickey D's. They were advised to cool it down & they declined. In the end, it was their arrogance that nailed them. The lady ended up getting a much smaller amount anyway, not the millions that everyone thinks.

The whole thing reminds me of the Pinto and the Corvair fiascos.
