Wow, calling it a "wedgie" seriously buries the lede.

Sounds like the whole McDonalds coffee burn suit. If the headlines downplay the severity of what happened and make it sound like it's just a nutjob trying to sue over a wedgie, they can get away without any PR damage.

I admit to thinking the McDonald's one was frivolous initially. After learning more about the case, I would have been all for a law suit even if her her injuries weren't that serious. Their policy for coffee was shady asf.

Maybe that's why they put it in quotes. It's only a figurative wedgie rather than a literal wedgie.

Feel like you can safely just leave it at the severe injuries bit.
