Burger King failed to convince judges about its defense regarding the size of its Whoppers, as it was unsuccessful in getting a lawsuit dismissed.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Roy Altman in Miami ruled that Burger King must address allegations that its in-store menu board representations of Whoppers misled consumers, constituting a breach of contract.
The class-action lawsuit, spanning 26 pages, alleges that the fast-food establishment marketed its iconic Whoppers in a way that suggests they are “approximately 35% larger in size, and contain more than double the meat, than the actual burger.”
The legal document further claims that since September 2017, the company started to “materially overstate” its burgers’ dimensions in promotions.
As this lawsuit targets Burger King, both McDonald’s and Wendy’s are encountering analogous consumer legal actions in the federal courts of Brooklyn, New York.
