She had many years to decide if it was a risk she'd be willing to take... I'm betting she got coffee every morning like this, too.
I don't know if she did or not. She was an old lady. But, the fact is, corporate executives also made decisions which they had been warned where dangerous. I forgot to mention that in my last post, internal McDonald's memos stated that there was a problem with the temperature of the coffee and still the corporate executives didn't take any action...even after knowing about hundreds of complaints.

Frankly, I think those executives are the ones who didn't take responsibility for their actions.

Companies and corporations have a responsibility, too.
