Yep, found it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v.McDonald%27s_Restaurants#Trial_andverdict “During the case, Liebeck’s attorneys discovered that McDonald’s required franchisees to serve coffee at 180–190 °F” (and has since been lowered) “…a jury awarded $2.86 million to a woman who was heavily burned by hot coffee…” McDonalds initially offered her only $800 (which wouldn’t cover medical bills), but she brought them to court and got MUCH more than her medical bills cost.

Yeah, McDonald’s put a “HOT” caution on their coffee cups now. Too little, too late for old lady Whatzername but the old lady made a tidy bundle.

Oh yes, by all means, let’s idiot proof the world so we can continue to dumb down our gene pool. After all, ignorant people are much more compliant.
