Exactly right, which is why the hot McDonald's coffee lawsuit had such a high penalty. They were knowingly giving near-boiling coffee to their customers to avoid giving free refills, and knew about the dangers and burns caused to their customers for years.

Punitive damages are the capitalist system answer to disregard for damages caused by products and business practices.

Then they engaged in a smear campaign against a woman who suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns on her genitals. People laughed about it for years. But hey, McRib and Szechuan sauce.
