My comment- Recently(within the past few months) the British courts threw
out a lawsuit against McDonalds regarding warnings, etc. on coffee as
without merit(or such) because one should have the understanding that such
items are inherently hot, and that the purchaser should know this to start
with; that it is not the restaurant's responsibility to point out the
obvious.

Too bad American courts lack the fortitude to tell people that they are
responsible for their actions, and that the obvious should generally be
regarded as present fact: i.e.: that coffee is served HOT,  and to Be
Careful! That is why warnings are required on McDonalds coffee here. I'm
waiting for warnings on each individual match that read to the effect
"Caution! Flame is hot and should not be applied directly or indirectly to
the skin. Flame may cause severe burns and/or cause fires"
