In 1992, 79-year-old Stella Liebeck bought a cup of takeout coffee at a McDonaldâs drive-thru in Albuquerque and spilled it on her lap. She sued McDonaldâs and a jury awarded her nearly $3 million in punitive damages for the burns she suffered. Typical reaction: Isnât coffee supposed to be hot?
The McDonald brothers' parents were immigrants from Ireland. Their father worked as a shift manager in a New Hampshire shoe factory. In the late 1920s, the brothers moved together to California, where they opened their first hot dog stand (no hamburgers were on the menu) in Pasadena in 1937.
