There's always someone who tries it on: a person took a certain burger chain to court (yes, them) and sued them for damages and (potential) medical fees after burning themselves on a takeaway cup of tea.
Takeaway containers are marked for hot contents here, and the brewing temperature of between 90°C and 100°C is common knowledge, and that water cools - especially when eight minutes elapse between purchase and accident. It is also common knowledge that the lids do not fit perfectly, and no one should pick their takeaway cup of tea (or coffee) up by the lid.
The complainant lost the case, and was told to try turning commonsense on before going anywhere near hot things in future.
