She didn't sue because it spilled. She sued because it caused 3rd degree
burns over a considerable portion of her body. If they had just paid her
medical bills to start with she wouldn't have sued. But you wouldn't know
any of that since you haven't read the facts of the case.

I'm sure millions of people have spilled hot coffee on themselves. But they
did not recieve 3rd degree burns. The whole crux of the case was the
temperature of the coffee. McDonalds even admitted they held coffee at a
hotter temp than industry standards.
