fyi, these are fake (my hypothesis: they were created and perpetuated by the
anti-civil folks like bush). Also, the "Stella" case had some reasonsable
justifications. She was a grandma who suffered 3rd degree burns to her
thighs, buttocks and crotch even after McDs had been repeatedly told to
reduce the coffee temp.

Facts About Stella Liebeck's Case
The fictitious "awards" are named after an elderly woman who was severely
burned due to the negligence of a greedy corporation. A number of lies about
her case have spread via email, but in fact:
Stella Liebeck wanted only to be reimbursed for the cost of her medical
treatment alone and to settle the case, but McDonald's opposed her request
and took the case to trial.
Stella was severely injured. At 79 years old, she suffered third degree
burnsto her legs and genitals, was hospitalized for over a week, and had to
have multiple skin grafts.
McDonald's lost-a jury of American citizens heard the evidence and decided
against the company.
During discovery, McDonald's produced documents showing more than 700 claims
by other people burned by its coffee over a 10 year period and still refused
to sell its coffee at a safe temperature.
