The law pertains to marchantisibility of goods. A business firm is
required by law to see to it that the merchendise sold is usable for its
kind. So soap must clean, gl***** must hold fluid, cars must run etc.
etc. If the law specifies that restaurants cannot sell coffee which has
a higher temperature than 140 degrees F. then so be it. I know of know
such law. Maybe there ought to be such a law. In the absence of any law
it is up to the customer to take due care with the merchandise
purchased. This pertains to any firm regardless of whether it is a
cor****ation or not.
If someone is stupid enough to carry a cup of hot coffee in a car
without a proper lide, then whatever happens to them happens. Under
Common Law they could not collect a cent.
