Yes, if you hand it to someone who is driving and (presumably) needs both
hands for that task.

FWIW, I once picked up and read a law textbook on product liability
law.  The book actually summarized in detail cases very similar to the
ones that have been mentioned here lately (not McDonalds, as the book
was published before that incident).  But cases like the person
breaking into a school and getting injured on the rebar, then suing
the school.

Once you read the whole story - not just the sentence or two that gets
bandied about - the final verdicts make complete sense.  In every
case.  I was amazed at how well our justice system actually worked.
