Major Issues in the Stella Liebeck’s Case and in the Successive Incidents

The major issue in the cases presented against McDonald’s is that customers suffered bodily and psychological harm from consuming their foodstuffs. For instance, in Stella Liebeck’s case she accuses McDonald’s of “gross negligence”, and selling “unreasonably dangerous” coffee that was “defectively manufactured”.

The weight loss over the last six months is an indication of the inability of the body to process and utilize the meals taken as would be expected and the body is currently more reliant on the food/energy reserves (Jarvis, 2015).
In this case, there are three possible causes for these ...
