The lawsuit against McDonald's was because they cranked up the warming burners on their coffee extra hot, because customers would complain that they had gotten a coffee to go but it was cold when they went to drink it. McD's served the coffee in a foam cup. The customer who sued did so because the coffee was so hot that the foam cup wasn't structurally sound enough to hold iot. That is, the hot hot coffee caused the foam to be too weak, and the scalding coffee spilled in her lap and gave her second and third degree burns. So, this wasn't indicative of Americans being lawsuit happy or being so stupid that they don't know that coffee is hot. It was because McD's served something in a conatiner unsafe to hold it.
