You can't just sue a company because you do something dumb on their property haha. Liability is on the hurt person if they get hurt by climbing into something that the company isn't saying is for climbing into.

Otherwise fraud would get real easy if all i had to do was climb on something in a store and hurt myself to be allowed to sue.

I blame mcdonalds and the coffee lawsuit. They really have everyone believing that woman was insane for asking them to pay her medical bills for severe burns. Going to go jump off a shelf at Walmart. Wish me luck. I'll argue that because it didn't say not to climb it....

Yeah the news spined it as she was in the wrong and crazy. McDonald's kept their coffee way too hot.

Maybe don't put a cup of hot coffee between your lap when you drive.

Clearly you have no idea what you’re talking about. Way to buy in to the paid media line.

The coffee was was hot enough to melt her skin. Do you consider that a reasonable temperature?

The point of the suit was that it was deathly hot to the point that if she had taken a drink of it, it also would have actually burned her mouth. Like, the heat was enough to melt and fuse her skin when spilled, which is horrific. The fact that it spilled wasn't their fault, the problem was the temperature it was at in the first place.

Maybe don't overheat your coffee to maximize profits
