Some googling didn't turn up anything interesting, so it seems a bit silly to discuss a case that may or may not have happened.
What may look silly at first might not look so silly when you look at the details of the case. For example, the widely ridiculed "mcdonald's coffee spill" case was actually a very valid lawsuit and mcdonalds was well aware that their coffee was served at dangerous temperatures.
