The whole lawsuit is insane and I'm surprised it hasn't been thrown out. Remington created a tool for killing and it did exactly what it was designed to do. The victims weren't part of the transaction. It's also explicitly legal in the US to own and create such weapons. There was no negligence on the company's part. The tool didn't malfunction, it's user did. If he had used a hunting knife could they sue the knife maker?
Also, a country where a 15-year-old boy in Nebraska, named Jeremy Steen, who was raped by a 34-year-old woman named Linda Kazinsky, was ordered by a court to pay $475 a month in child support — plus $23,000 in back child support payments.
Or, in California, where a minor boy raped by an adult woman must pay child support to the woman who raped him, even if it's unequivocally proven he was drugged before the rape.
C'mon man, the hot coffee lady is classic "serious issue made to look frivolous", it's basically the OG! The coffee wasn't just hot, it was so hot she got third degree burns within seconds of it spilling. Hundreds of people had received similar injuries in the years prior. Someone from McDonald's even testified that the temperature the coffee was served at was too hot to safely drink! I don't know about you, but I expect to be able to drink a coffee right after I buy it, not have to wait several minutes for it to cool enough that I won't be badly injured by it.
I disagree and especially if it's a drink being given in a drive through, most people probably expect it to be hot for several minutes after getting it.
