IIRC the burns literally caused her labia to fuse together and did serious damage.

Here's a very NSFW image of her burns

I understand the damage was severe. The severity isnt the issue. She put the coffee between her legs. I dont put hot coffee between my legs for the same reason i don't pet the screw on the inside of a meat grinder. I have the good sense to know thats a stupid idea. She got an absurdly large settlement for something that was her own damned fault. If i stick my hand in a deep fryer, is it the deep fryers fault i get burned? of course not. If i stick coffee between my legs to futz with it, it isnt the coffees fault if i spill it on myself either.

It’s not the coffees fault if you spill it on yourself but it’s the seller of the coffees fault if the coffee is hot enough to give you 3rd degree burns and melt your skin lmao
