All you techs- you should also be liable if you don't waqrn little old ladies that the lack of cup holders in the older mercedes could cause burns if they drive with hot coffee. But then - did you properly define the word hot, and did you properly advise regarding the proper use of the cup holders, and warn of improper after-market cup holders, and ... what about your liability for not warning them of the CONSEQUENCES of driving with hot coffee and not properly watching the road. Should you install a hot coffee buzzer? That might distract the driver and casue an accident. Here you may have failed to properly test nd evaluate the safety of a buzzer.

I really hope that we are wrong that society has become so litigious and irresponsible.

Anyway, I am responsible for my problems and thanks for your great advice.
