It's true. One time I saw a photo of a 11 year old girl whose 30 to 40% of her flesh was literally melted off her body by a coffee spill. It was so shocking and grotesque that I literally wanted to jump out of my chair and start looking for heads to roll.

By the way, the woman's award has been cut down to less around $200,000 from $3 million dollars or something. The reason why the jury gave out that amount because it was the amount of dollars earned in profit in one day from coffee sales by McDonald.
