Jman888 Moderator September 10, 2012 Share September 10, 2012 A real Singapore Case of SG vs MacDonald's Let debate Teen at Mac's burnt after table tips and spills hot tea on her - Whose fault is it? Madeline suffered burns at the McDonald's outlet at Scape after spilling hot tea on herself when her table tipped forward. Singapore, September 7, 2012 She placed her elbows on the table as she opened a sachet of chilli sauce, but claimed the table tipped forward, spilling a hot cup of tea on her. The private school student, who wanted to be known only as Madeline, suffered first- and second-degree burns as a result. The 16-year-old and her boyfriend claimed McDonald's did very little to help them, and her parents said they may take action against the restaurant. But when contacted, McDonald's said it twice offered to send Madeline and her boyfriend to the nearest hospital by taxi, but they declined. It also said it had checked the tables to "verify that they are stable and safe for use". The incident took place last Thursday at 5am. Madeline and her boyfriend, Alex, 17, were having a meal at McDonald's at Scape after a night out at the movies. They were seated at a table outdoors. Madeline had placed a cup of hot tea on the table and was about to tuck into her Fillet-O-Fish when she placed her elbows on the table. "It happened so fast - the table slipped under the weight of my elbows, spilling hot tea on me," she recounted. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic September 10, 2012 Share September 10, 2012 She got the fore arms of Popeye. That's why the table flipped. Seriously, I dunno what she do to make the table topple. She's not telling the whole story. She probably deserve it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic September 10, 2012 Share September 10, 2012 the lawyer would ask "why the coffee has to be sooooo hot? at a killing temperature?" If the water is not cooked to the boiling point drink already will lao sai. Anyway who would serve you a cold cup of tea/coffee when you ordered for a hot one?

Sp4wn Turbocharged September 10, 2012 Share September 10, 2012 happened in the US before right? some woman sued macs for no warning label about the coffee being too hot and got scalded. now all got "Warning: Hot" labels yup there's a lot more to that case though. i suggest you read up on it if you are keen. i remember reading about it in one of my law classes ... the lady in that case suffered burns that required skin grafts iirc ... she was also burnt in sensitive areas >< the jury awarded her the money for pain and suffering ... (however, this is based on a 4yr+ old memory, so someone will have to double check if i remembered the facts correctly) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
