What does that have to do with whether or not McDonald's acted
negligently or with reckless disregard for the safety of their
customers?

McDonald's knew their coffee was too hot.  They had already had
several burn victims, and their own internal consultants had advised
them to serve the coffee at a somewhat cooler temperature.  In
addition, the cups were too flimsy.
