I agree these guys are idiots looking to make a quick buck.
But someone compared this to the McDonalds coffee lawsuit. Contrary to popular belief...that suit was entirely justified. McDonalds used cups designed for a maximum temperature of 150 degrees...and required that the coffee be heated to 180 degrees. It seems to me that if you sell a product in a container and exceed that containers thermal rating by 20%...you deserve to get sued. And then McDonalds pissed off the court by committing perjury. They lied to the court about the number of people injured by their actions. And the amount of money was not just picked out of thin air. While it may seem like a huge number...it was just 3 days worth of McDonalds coffee sales. How else do you get a huge corporation to change it's behavior? It was only after that suit that McDonalds switched to a cup with a higher temperature rating.
Sorry for my rant. And no...I'm neither a lawyer nor have any connection to the case. I just think that when a company knowingly exceeds the rating of a container, and people get hurt, and then they lie about it in court...then that company deserves a big enough punishment to cause them to change their behavior.
