People who sue of garbage like this should be fined to pay for the court fees. I wish the US had common sense laws.
Parents sue Disney over hot nachos

Looks like it was a complete accident, so I don't quite see how Disney would be liable unless the suggestion is that in a restaurant they should have no food out and available to be eaten, just in case something goes wrong with it.
Actually, given the majority of American lawsuits, I'm not surprised if the parents really would campaign for 'no food in restaurants.'

oh god please tell me this is a joke. seriously? next thing you know they'll be suing because coffee is hot... oh wait, they already have.
SOME THINGS ARE HOT. DEAL WITH IT.
are they going to sue disney because their son fell on the concrete outside and skinned his knee? oh no, god forbid concrete be rough! think of the children!

That's not Darwinism. That's something called 'social Darwinism', which is a particularly nasty variant of eugenics. It seems to get brought up quite a lot in gaming forums, for whatever reason.CarpathianMuffin said:

What's with the slew of "Oh....my....god... it's hot!" people said this back when McDonald's was serving coffee at 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Maybe people are really that heavily immersed into anti-thinking.
I'm curious as to how hot the tacos being served was.

okay, this can't be real. no person can actually be serious about suing an entire company because one bit of food was too hot for some kid (who won't remember it anyways) to handle.
oh, I'm sorry, it appears these people are serious.
... what the hell's wrong with this world?

In the end, it kind of falls on Disney since their chair started it. Though, it's possible they weren't aware it was in bad shape. If the family didn't see it as an immediate risk, I doubt the workers would have.
Had the chair not broken, they would have tried the nachos, found them hot, and waited for them to cool off.
If Disney has to pay anything, it should only be the medical costs.

this puts me in mind for this clip from clerks [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeQN0KJJHqM&sec=33]
skip to roughly :30.
Then again I find few situations where clips from clerks don't apply.
OT: Parents are dumb, people are dumb, stuff like this leads to people asking the government to do their job for them, why we get people wanting the government to regulate video games, movies, music, books, the internet, what I wear outside my house, D&D, etc. Seriously, it's cooked food, it's going to be hot, they assume people want their food hot, when it's taken out of the microwave, it is served.
How does one regulate the temperature, sit their with a food thermometer and wait until it reaches a certain temp, wouldn't this slow down business, on a busy day (and seeing as how this is disney world in march, that's likely the case) that isn't going to happen...

Unfortunately you are right. But America being in the center of everyone's attention we only hear about stuff like this when it happens in America. You should see some of the lawsuits in my country. Fuckin' ridiculous.Flac00 said:
There is prescidence for this (I.E. it was able to fly in court before) with the "Starbuck's hot coffee" lawsuit, where a woman sued Starbuck's for her coffee being to hot ( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/1668510/posts ).endnuen said:

When I was younger (About eight), I didn't realize that mouthspray and cologne weren't the same thing. So, I did what any kid would do and used a bottle of cologne like mouth spray to freshen my breath. Of course, I had a terrible allergic reaction and was in extrodinary pain for two weeks, had difficulty breathing, and lost a great deal of my sense of taste. (Mostly eat food for the texture now, but it's cool because its easier to eat healthy. Anyway!)
My family didn't sue the cologne company...and now, later in life, I still wouldn't have expected them to. I did something stupid, and shit happens. No need to turn it into a multi-million dollar issue.
Of course, the parents will probably win and get $600,000 or something. Americans seem to have this extreme hatred of big business.

Who heats nacho cheese to the point of scalding hot? Everytime I get nacho's it seems to be ice cold, but that's besides the point.
I don't understand why they are getting mad that the nacho cheese was hot. I would be more pissed off about the table becuase if that was stable then it wouldn't have matter if the cheese was hot or cold.
I say sue whoever was contracted to build the table

This reminds of the McDonald's fiasco with the hot coffee someone spilled on their laps which, among other things, resulted in "Caution: Hot" being put on every coffee cup. Some things are meant to be hot: coffee, tea, nacho cheese etc and its just idiotic to assume otherwise.
Also its doesn't take much to dip your pinky in the cheesee to see how hot it is. Its the same excuse people use when their kids watch an episode of family guy and see something inappropriate.

HEY. No American hate, plenty of stupid people hail from your hometown, correct?endnuen said:
Yet another ignorant bump on the road of society, when will we see an end to these kinds of lawsuits?
The cheese just flew into the kids mouth?
Even if a chair broke how did it cause just one little bit of nacho to fly up and hit only his mouth. I'm guessing it the same reason they are focused on the nachos rather then a child safety chair breaking. Sounds like they allowed the 4 year old to eat them without checking how hot it is first, the kid freaked out and knocked over the chair(if there even is a broken chair).
If the kid is scarred for life then you have a case, but no one seemed to mention anything like that in the story.
