How much compensation can I get for an instant soup burn injury?

Recent settlements for instant soup burn injuries have ranged from $100,000 to over $300,000, depending on the severity of burns, medical treatments required, and permanent scarring. A recent case in Long Beach resulted in a $300,000 settlement for a 7-year-old child.

What makes instant soup cups dangerous?

Instant soup cups are dangerous due to their tall, narrow design that makes them prone to tipping over. The hot contents can reach temperatures of 212°F (100°C), and the sticky noodles remain hot longer than plain liquids, causing deeper, more severe burns, especially to children.

How common are instant soup burn injuries?

Approximately 9,500 children per year (about 25 each day) suffer burns from instant soup products. Studies show that nearly 1 in 5 children who go to the emergency room for these burns require surgery, and many end up with permanent scarring and mobility issues.

Which brands of instant soup have been involved in lawsuits?

Major brands involved in burn injury lawsuits include Nissin Cup Noodles, Maruchan Instant Lunch, and other popular instant soup manufacturers. These lawsuits typically allege defective product design and failure to adequately warn consumers about burn risks.

How long do I have to file an instant soup burn lawsuit?

The statute of limitations varies by state, typically ranging from 1-3 years from the date of injury. For children, this period may be extended until they reach adulthood. It's crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your legal rights.
