Scalded Truth ebook

Everyone knows the punchline: A woman drives with coffee between her legs, spills it, and sues for millions because it was "hot." It is the prime example of frivolous lawsuits and a greedy society. The problem is: The story is a lie engineered by corporate PR. "The Scalded Truth" reopens the case of Liebeck v. McDonald's. It reveals the gruesome facts the media ignored: The coffee was served at 190°F (near boiling), causing third-degree burns that fused the woman's labia and required skin grafts. She originally asked only for $20,000 to cover medical bills; McDonald's offered $800. This book exposes how corporations launched a disinformation campaign to demonize victims and cap their own liability.
