It's important to remember that heat and temperature are two related
but different things also.

There is a thermostatic switch on the heaters that operates the
same, regardless of line voltage. The pots remain the same
temperature as when they were manufactured. They were not adjusted
higher or lower by MacDonalds... at all.

After a couple of reversals, the attourneys finally aggeed on how much

<LOL>

I recall an anecdote about a lawsuit between Sony and an American
company. One of Sony top executives called his counterpart at the US
company and wanted to settle it. The US company couldn't do it,
because their attorneys had a clause in their contract that allowed
them to turn on the US company and sue them for what they would have
made had the lawsuit gone ahead.. of course, the Japanese found that
quite incredible.

No matter what anyones opinion on it.
it was McDonolds Fault for settting the temp to
high. Thats why they had to Pay-out.

Nah, it was primarily the womans fault. Unless McDonalds violated some
regulation regarding beverage temperature, then they really weren't at
fault. I might concede that it should have been ruled to be a SHARED
responsibility, and that MAYBE McDonalds should have been required to
pay any legitimate medical claim that resulted from the spill. However,
the court of common sense was apalled at the judgement, regardless of
what the jury or judge decided. Why? Because it was ridiculous.

And I suspect you meant "McDonalds" and "too high", but that's another
thing.
