Isn’t it obvious that coffee is hot?

Isn’t it obvious that coffee is hot?

Yes — but that does not excuse serving coffee at temperatures capable of causing third-degree burns in seconds.

Georgia law does not protect companies that:

• Serve products at unnecessarily dangerous temperatures
  
• Ignore prior burn complaints
  
• Use defective packaging
  

The legal question is whether the temperature and handling were unreasonably dangerous, not whether coffee is generally hot.
