After the legacy of the epic graphics CTK resulted in receiving 50 million, it should be noted that the mentioned content included points such as physical pain, psychological suffering, loss of life enjoyment, humiliation, discomfort, sadness, distortion, physical injury, homelessness, and mental suffering. According to the statements made in the framework of the judicial investigation via Courtroom View, Starbucks representatives announced their intention to appeal the decision, considering that the proposed compensation is excessive.

According to the company representative, "we feel strongly, but we do not agree with the decision regarding those we bear responsibility for what has happened, and we are convinced that the designated compensation is inflated." He added that Starbucks always maintains the highest safety standards in its stores, including serving hot beverages.

This lawsuit brings to mind the famous lawsuit of 1994 against McDonald's, when a woman was burned by hot coffee on her lap and received third-degree burns. In that case, Stella Liebeck was originally compensated a sum that approached three million dollars.
