No, that was actually a fair one - basically McDonalds used to serve coffee hot, not just boiling bu stupidly hot. The idea was that it'd still be hot if you ordered it to go, and wanted to drink it a little while later. It was a woman who had it, and she spilled some and received 3rd degree burns I think. She only tried to sue them to cover her medical bills, incurred due to the accident, but the courts found very much in her favour and awarded her a fair bit more than she'd asked for I think.
