I'm not sure where a lot of these disclaimers come from, but I know some of them come from lawsuits. McDonalds, for example, was forced to pay $640k to an old woman for spilling coffee on herself, largely because it was too hot, and that's why just about every coffee cup tells you it's hot.

That's not how to fix these problems. If you don't know that coffee's hot, the problem is with your judgement, not the company's. It is the company's fault, however, if they serve your coffee at too high a temperature — but the solution isn't to put an vague and obvious label on it, it's to tell them they can't make their coffee that hot.

That was precisely the issue. McDonalds would keep their coffee way hotter than the legal limit so they wouldn't have to change it out as often. The old lady had third degree burns across her legs (her vagina was melted shut) and was only awarded the sum of her medical expenses. Stop cucking for billion dollar multinationals.
