HOOD, Chief Judge.
Mrs. Albano was dining at the China Inn Restaurant when a pot of scalding tea fell from a waitress’ tray into her lap, burning her thigh and abdomen. She and her husband, appellants here, sued the restaurant owner, Irene Yee, for damages resulting from the negligence of the waitress. Mrs. Albano sought compensation for pain and suffering and for medical expenses. Mr. Albano sought compensation for loss of consortium. A jury awarded $400 to her and $300 to him. They have appealed, claiming that the jury was erroneously instructed with respect to allowable damages.
