Because the soup was too hot - woman sued Lufthansa

Lufthansa flight from Munich to New York: A woman burned herself on a soup and sued the airline for compensation for pain and suffering.

Now a court in Cologne has decided.

Cologne - A passenger in the business class of a Lufthansa * flight from Munich to New York and a porcini mushroom soup were the main characters in a curious court case in Cologne *.

Because the woman had sued Lufthansa for compensation for pain and suffering because the soup should have been too hot and she had burned the upper chest area.

The woman apparently suffered second-degree burns and even had to be treated in a hospital after landing in New York. She therefore sued Lufthansa for five-digit compensation for pain and suffering - in vain. 24RHEIN * reports why the Cologne regional court ruled in favor of the airline and against the passenger *.
