Coffee chain sued over drive-through scalding
Leyland Cecco
An Ontario woman is suing Canada’s best-known coffee chain for C$500,000 (£300,000), alleging Tim Hortons served her “superheated” tea in a defective cup that left her with “horrific” burns on her stomach and legs.
Jackie Lansing, 73, ordered a black tea at a drive-through restaurant while in the passenger seat of a vehicle. The cup “immediately collapsed in on itself”, according to her claim.
TDL Group Corp, the licensing company of Tim Hortons, and franchise operator Greenwood Enterprises deny allegations of negligence.
