Starbucks is looking to appeal the decision, saying that it has "always been committed to the highest safety standards in our stores." The statement continued, "We sympathize with Mr. Garcia, but we disagree with the jury's decision that we were at fault for this incident and believe the damages awarded to be excessive." The incident happened on Feb. 8, 2020, at a Los Angeles Starbucks location. Garcia reportedly picked up three venti "medicine ball" teas at the drive-thru for a Postmates delivery. Footage shows that when an employee gave him the cardboard carrier with the drinks, one of the cups fell onto his lap and spilled. Garcia's lawyers claimed that the Starbucks employee "failed to properly secure that drink in the carrier," NBC writes. Garcia's penis, groin, and inner thighs endured third-degree burns. According to his legal team, he had to have two skin grafts, and any friction to the area is still painful for him.
