I have seen on the side of a cup of hot chocolate
"warning.... contents may be hot"
I am sure mcdonalds and starbucks have both been sued for "have the drink too hot"

Yes they have.
Also, apple pies have to be left for 10 minutes before being put out,in case the contents of their hot apple pies are too hot...

An instruction booklet had 3 blank pages at the back and at the top of each page was written 'These pages have been left intenionally blank' which beggars the question - WHY? blink

Because the format of the booklet (i.e. pages halved) would not be able to have an odd number of pages, and there isn't enough information to cover the pages.

The Stella Awards were inspired by Stella Liebeck. In 1992, Stella, then 79, spilled a cup of McDonald's coffee onto her lap, burning herself. A New Mexico jury awarded her $2.9 million in damages, but that's not the whole story. Ever since, the name "Stella Award" has been applied to any wild, outrageous, or ridiculous lawsuits -- including bogus cases! We search for true cases, and you can subscribe by e-mail for free to get the case reports as they're issued.
