I've venture a guess that the McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit is the most wildly used, but least factually recited lawsuit.
The facts of the case:
The Actual Facts about the Mcdonalds' Coffee Case
In a nutshell: McDonalds was a fault, they were super heating their coffee to ridiculous temperatures without warning people that their coffee was in some cases over 60 degrees hotter than other places. The lady knew the coffee was hot, but when the 180-190 degree coffee spilled on her, giving her third degree burns on 6% of her body, then she sues to recoup medical expenses.
