I wonder if the other passenger was named in lawsuit too?

These lawsuits always bother me, don't tea and coffee usually involve hot water? is it not common sense that hot water can burn? Is there not a responsibility for individual, it is not like the FA was providing service with malice!
..On Nov. 5, Rema Halabi was a passenger on a flight to San Francisco and ordered tea during the drink service, according to the claim. A stewardess then placed a cup of “scalding hot water” to make the tea on Halabi’s tray. The water fell into her lap when the passenger in front of her leaned back and jarred the tray...
How is AC to blame when all the FA did was to place the drink on tray? Shouldn't Rema have sued the other passenger instead?

I can see AC eventually serving tepid warm water in the future.
