A California man is suing Starbucks and the maker of its cups and lids claiming that his sex life was ruined by hot tea.

According to news reports, Tommy Piluyev ordered two grande Honey Citrus Mint teas and when the barista passed them to him through the drive-up window one of the lids came off and the cup tipped, pouring hot tea onto the man’s hands, stomach and pelvis. Piluyev says the tea, which allegedly was between 190 and 205 degrees, caused blistering burns on his abdomen, thighs, lap area and buttocks, and he was hospitalized for over a week. Piluyev is seeking monetary damages, saying the accident made sex “painful and awkward” and that he couldn’t walk normally, use a computer, or play the piano for months. Piluyev’s attorney says his client will also need future plastic surgery. 

Starbucks says it is looking into the claim and that “our partners take great pride in ensuring our beverages are crafted with care and delivered to customers safely."
