Everyone has an opinion..........In 1992 a little old lady sued McDonalds because she spilled scalding hot coffee in her lap and won $3 Million. Granted that after appeals she ended up with just over half a million but the point is it was her fault but was able to legally blame McDonalds. People sue every day over stupid shit like this and some actually win. As for stopping it? The 1st Amendment "right to petition" (sue) is part of that amendment......... As for tort reform, good luck.DEARBORN - A Muslim man who ordered a pizza from a Little Caesars in Dearborn has filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the pizza chain, alleging that the pizza he was sold contained pork even though it was advertised otherwise.
The suit, which was filed by Mohamad Bazzi, alleges that the pizza he ordered March 20 from a Little Caesars in Dearborn was labeled as “halal,” which means it meets Islamic food consumption standards.
The suit states that the pizza he received and consumed contained pork, which is a meat not considered halal in Islamic law.
Muslim man files $100M lawsuit against Dearborn Little Caesars over pizza labeled 'halal'
Why in a country like ours do politicians allow things like this to happen? We need a serious national tort reform in this country, and I hope Trump and the Republicans read this story and agree. It's not likely that this clown will get his 100 mil. After all, he suffered no physical damage and millions of Americans eat pepperoni pizza every day. But he will get a sizable amount
There is no poof him or his wife ate any of this pizza. How could you open the box and not see pepperoni before you eat it?
This nonsense needs to stop in this country. It costs industry too much money and those costs get passed down to us, the little people when we buy their products.
Ah yes, the famous McDonald's case. Here is the deal the coffee was too hot. But not only was it too hot, McDonald's printed procedures required the coffee to be something like 160 degrees. It was a slamdunk case. Anybody with half a brain knows 160 degrees is scalding hot and no company with any damn sense would have posted printed procedures and a four times a day verification process for something inherently dangerous.
Even if they have a sign posted that the COFFEE IS VERY HOT?
If I remember correctly, the woman put the hot coffee between her legs causing the lid to pop off. That's McDonald's fault? Prior to that suit, McDonald's always had very hot coffee and people just took precautions to not hurt themselves.

No, you're very wrong.
The woman was correct and deserved the settlement she got.
