A California woman is suing Starbucks for causing her severe burns when her coffee cup collapsed during a drive-through order. According to an attorney, the incident occurred on July 31 and resulted in 24 days of hospitalization [1]. The lawsuit alleges that the coffee cup design was faulty or poorly manufactured, leading to the accident.
Another news outlet, abc7.com, reported similar details about the incident but with a slightly different angle. They stated that a woman from Riverside County filed a lawsuit against Starbucks after her coffee spilled and caused severe burns while she was in the drive-through lane [2]. Both outlets agree that the woman's injuries were significant enough to require hospitalization for over two weeks.
