In English, I am writing an essay about lawsuits. Is it true some people have sued restaurants because they spilled coffee on themselves, supposidly making them infertile? Or is this just a rumor? I want my essay to be as factual as it can be. Thank you!!

Yes, a woman sued a drive-through because she spilled hot coffee on herself. I don't think that infertility had anything to do with the suit. Here are three sites on the lawsuit.
