Burger King accused of whopper of a lie
Reprints
A Florida lawyer has some beef with Burger King.
Anthony Russo filed a federal lawsuit seeking class-action status alleging that the fast-food chain has misled customers with false advertising, displaying Whoppers, for example, that are in reality much bigger than what is served up at the fast-food restaurant, NBC News reported.
Mr. Russo is alleging Burger King began inflating the size of its offerings in its images around September 2017. Before that, the suit claims, Burger King "more fairly" advertised its food products, according to the news outlet.
The suit claims the size of virtually every food item advertised by Burger King is "materially overstated” and that a burger featured in ads is 35% larger than the real-life version, with double the meat than what is actually served.
