LOS ANGELES, United States — A family is suing a US ski resort claiming the hot chocolate it sold them was too... hot. When the child tried to drink it, the "excessively and unnecessarily hot" liquid spilled inside her ski suit, scalding her chest and abdomen. They "knew and should have known that such hot beverages posed a great hazard of causing just this type of incident and injuries." He said while people going to ski resorts assume a level of risk because of the sport, this case is different. Lawsuits that claim hot drinks are too hot are not uncommon in the litigious United States.
