Lawsuit against Arby's.
13. Defendants owed Plaintiffs the highest duty of care to protect them against dangerous conditions of which Arby's knew or should have known.---------snip----------------
Such dangers at the subject property include, without limitation: (a) Plumbing and/or water heating systems that violate the applicable Building, Mechanical and Plumbing code, (b) Urinal that shoots jets of scalding steam, (c) Failure to properly repair a known dangerous urinal and/or plumbing issue.
It seems this fellow got a steamed winkie.
Very sad.
Just awful.
Ointments don't help with the nightmares.

I could see that at a White Castle: it would be easy to cross the pipe that discharges the urinal with the pipe that steams the sliders. But at Arby's? WTF?

How on earth does a urinal get hooked up to the plumbing system such that it is in a position to shoot "jets" of "scalding steam?" I would imagine that when installing plumbing fixtures of that sort, instruction #1 in the manual would be: "Do not attach toilets, urinals or bidets to hot water pipes, especially not ones that may result in jets of scalding steam."

Obviously whether or not that's true is what this case hinges on.
But yeah, if your urinal is firing at penises, that's a good reason to cover it in a garbage bag and put it out of order.
But I wouldn't eat at Arby's anyway, given the company's behavior in the Stop Rush campaign.

The problem was that the coffee in question was almost boiling (200 F), which is much hotter than coffee made by normal processes. McDonald's had records of other customers who had suffered burns to their mouths and faces, so they knew that there was an issue.
BTW, the woman was found partially liable because she placed the cup between her legs.

A typical Mr Coffee produces coffee at 192 degrees.
It's perfectly normal and I think far better. I love McDonalds's coffee. Yeah, it's dangerous and yeah McDonalds was aware that it's dangerous. It is outrageous that the suit was even allowed to proceed to court when "the issue" is that coffee is really hot sometimes. They should be allowed to sell you a cup of straight up boiling water. So long as that's what you ordered, there's no problem.
How you use that product is your business. If you pour it into your eyeballs, that's your business. If you poke your eyes with a plastic fork, that's your business. If you leap over the order counter and stick your face into the french fry oil, that's not McDonald's fault even though they are aware of the 'oil is dangerous' issue.
