Man Sues Starbucks Claiming Hot Tea Gave Him Severe Burns: Report

A man who claims he suffered third-degree burns from a hot beverage has filed a lawsuit against Starbucks and the maker of the cups.

He says it happened in 2018 and since then he’s struggled to recover. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.
