There was hundreds. however that's irelevant to the point. Punitive damages are awarded (as I said) to make companies STOP or CHANGE harmful practises. That's why they're damn high. They have nothing to do with who or how many are suing. They are based on the company's SIZE and PROFIT. In this case it was based of how much they made on coffee in two days.

If you gave Mc'D a 1000$ fine they'd be like; alright, I guess we're not changing anything.

There's no question that putting a hot coffee between your legs isn't the brightest of ideas, which is why the punitive damages was significantly lowered. However serving something that can give you a severe third degree burn in 5 seconds isn't bright either.
