The business world is filled with tort cases, particularly those involving product liability. One of the most famous cases is probably the one in which a customer sued McDonald's because she spilled a cup of hot McDonald's coffee in her lap, suffering burns and scalding. A jury awarded her $2.7 million in punitive damages, an amount that was later reduced by a judge to under $500,000. On your own or with a classmate, go online to research other famous product liability cases. Choose a case and learn as much as you can about it, including the effect the outcome had on the firm or firms involved. Present your findings in class.
