Disney defeats lawsuit claiming Disabled Access System violates ADA

[Goofyuk]

Challenging companies to ensure that what they are doing meets the ADA is an entirely valid thing to do in my view, I wouldn't put it in the "suing because coffee is hot" category

I hate this repeated fallacy that the McDonalds Lawsuit was because a woman didn't realize that Coffee is hot. Have you ever split hot tea or coffee on yourself by accident? The majority of adults have, however they did not end up with third degree burns & severe scarring that need two years of medical treatments including numerous skin grafts.

The coffee being served was being served at a temperature that was dangerous hot, well above the normal temperature for coffee. If you had attempted to drink this coffee you would have suffered from severe burns to the mouth & throat. McDonalds had already received complaints about this violation of Federal safety laws and not changed their policies.

The lawsuit was totally legitimate.

I suspect a lot of the complaints came from the fact the new policy was poorly explained.

No a lot of the complaints were because a lot of people are self entitled and they saw a free perk being taken away from them. So they cried that it wasn't fair and they must be being discriminated against.
