Fireplace Grate Heaters. Fireplace heaters are highly recommended fireplace accessories that increase fireplace efficiency and decrease home heating costs by circulating cold air into the grate and warm air back out into the room being heated.
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?
Since Liebeck, McDonald's has not reduced the service temperature of its coffee. McDonald's policy today is to serve coffee at  80â90 Â°C (176â194 Â°F), relying on more sternly worded warnings on cups made of rigid foam to avoid future liability, though it continues to face lawsuits over hot coffee.
