BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2024 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A Boca Raton woman is suing Starbucks, claiming she was critically injured by hot coffee in the chain’s location near the Best Buy on U.S. 441 in Boca. The lawsuit was just filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court and obtained by BocaNewsNow.com.
The suit, which arguably is a bit strange, suggests that Starbucks was negligent for not telling Aria Calisi that the coffee in the cup she purchased was, in fact, hot. The lid on the cup apparently was not properly secured. It seems she never double-checked it after receiving the hot coffee that she presumably ordered. She claims she was injured. So now she’s suing. Here are key excerpts from the suit:
“On or about August 9, 2022, the Plaintiff, ARIA CALISI, while exercising due care 9: PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL, JOSEPH ABRUZZO, CLERK, 10/22/2024 12:07:13 PM and caution for her own safety, was lawfully at the Defendant’s property when she was injured due to the negligence of the Defendant, STARBUCKS CORPORATION. Specifically, the Plaintiff, ARIA CALISI, purchased a hot coffee when the unsecured/malfunctioning lid caused the hot coffee to spill and burn Plaintiff’s hand. Due to the Defendant’s, STARBUCKS CORPORATION, negligence, the hot coffee was caused to be spilled on the Plaintiff, ARIA CALISI.”
“The Defendant, STARBUCKS CORPORATION, and is employees, servants and/or agents owed to the Plaintiff, ARIA CALISI, a duty of reasonable care to prevent foreseeable and unreasonable risks of harm. (It) was the duty of the Defendant, STARBUCKS CORPORATION, to warn the Plaintiff, ARIA CALISI. The Defendant, STARBUCKS CORPORATION, and/or its employees, servants, and/or agents breached its duty of care to the Plaintiff, ARIA CALISI, by committing one or more of the following negligent acts of commission and/or omission which proximately caused injury to the Plaintiff, ARIA CALISI, as hereinafter alleged more fully: The Defendant failed to secure the lid on the hot coffee; The Defendant failed to address and take corrective action after previously raised multiple complaints about the malfunctioning lids; and The Defendant failed to warn the Plaintiff of the dangerous condition. Defendant knew, or in the exercise of reasonable care, should have known of the afore-described dangerous and hazardous condition. That the aforesaid acts of negligence on the parts of the Defendant were the proximate cause of the injuries sustained by the plaintiff.”
The suit seeks in excess of $50,000 which is the statutory minimum for filing in Palm Beach Couty Circuit Court. Starbucks has not responded to the suit as of late Thursday afternoon, October 24, 2024. Aria Calisi is represented by attorney Daniel Drazen at Englander Peebles in Fort Lauderdale.
She heard about the McDonalds case years ago. Another show me the money phony. Who buys that overpriced poop coffee.
She’s A Total Moron.
You can’t make it up.
This same situation happened in Rockland County,West Nyack NY many years ago. After getting the coffee the lid popped off and scalded her legs. She did sue and I don’t remember if it was settled or she won.
Pu—lease, people need to take responsibility for themselves! You order HOT coffee, expect it to be HOT. Idiots
