Overview

Since the infamous Liebeck v. McDonald's hot coffee spill case in 1994, there has been a proliferation of hot beverage products liability cases. Handling Hot Coffee informs the coffee industry and supporting lawyers about these cases and recommends preventative measures against spills and lawsuits. This manual highlights the industry standards required to make quality beverages and explains why temperatures for brewing coffee and infusion of tea are above the pain and burn thresholds of skin. Previously, the information regarding such concerns and cases had been scattered throughout the diverse categories of hot beverage industry standards, burn first aid and care, and products liability case summaries and decisions. Handling Hot Coffee compiles the related and pertinent information for readers and industry professionals in one complete and meaningful resource.
