Just throwing in 2cents that you don't understand the hot coffee case at all. Suggest you google it, just so you don't use it as an example anymore.
People were getting burnt over and over on a weekly basis; and Mcdonalds would just pay them off a small amounts but did nothing to change their operations to prevent future injuries. They weren't even ignorant of it either, they kept logs and said it was the cost of doing business. Would that change your perception of the case.
If you give the GM faulty switch case your same treatment: . You could say all of those deaths are just been darwin's awards for idiots who bump their keys and cause their car to turn off, and furthermore are too dumb to know how to glide their powerless car to a safe stop. And GM in their right to just write that off as a cost of doing business rather then fixing it.
I bet you don't feel that way about the GM case just due to the media spin.
