Not sure if the comment was regarding the suicides. That would be a bit gruesome. But the US had been known to judge in favor of people being stupid and suing the company. Specifically this case comes to mind: https://abc7.com/amp/post/socal-woman-sues-starbucks-spilled...

But also cases like the 2 girls suing Snapchat and settling for unknown amounts of money.

That woman's labia fused as a result of coffee that internal emails showed they knew was frequently hotter than was safe.

This involved drive-through service, just like the 1994 McDonalds coffee case. Perhaps businesses should just refuse to serve hot coffee via such a drive through, since it stands to reason that people who happen to be sitting in a car will be quite likely to spill their drink in a dangerous way.

or they could just not serve coffee that's so hot that it melts your flesh
