In the mid-nineties a woman made headlines all over the world bcause she sued McDonalds for having hot coffee... Now that seems ridiculous right? A ridiculous news story that turned an elderly woman into a laughing stock, a greedy instigator of "frivolous lawsuits" but behind he headline is the story of a reasonable woman with a reasonable request from a gluttonous corporation...

Justice for Stella

It's one of those cases where you think it must be exaggerated. Then you do the research and find out that the truth is so much worse. It's past time for the record to be set straight. Restore this poor woman's memory. She was slandered by smarmy corporate lawyers. Adam Conover touched on this case in an episode of Adam Ruins Everything. Bring the truth.
