A customer purchases a cup of coffee at the take-out window of an international fast food chain
The restaurant makes the coffee as hot as possible, short of turning it into steam, because most people
who get coffee at a take out window will wait before drinking it. The customer goes to a car, and puts
the coffee between the customer's legs, so as to be able to wrench the lid off the coffee cup. This
causes the coffee to splash onto the customer's pants, which results in third degree burns. The
customer sues in negligence, alleging that the restaurant breached a duty of care. The restaurant might
be able to escape liability because of the customer's
A) assumption of the risk B) age
C) contributory negligence D) comparative fault
C
