A California jury has awarded $50 million to a customer who suffered severe burns after a Starbucks hot beverage spilled on him at a drive-through. The incident occurred when Michael Garcia received a tray of venti-sized drinks, one of which was allegedly not secured properly, leading to the spill. Garcia required skin grafts and other medical procedures due to the burns. His attorneys argued that Starbucks breached its duty of care, resulting in permanent and life-altering injuries for Garcia. Starbucks has expressed disagreement with the verdict and plans to appeal the decision.
