New Delhi: A New York guy has a gripe with McDonald’s and Wendy’s, claiming that their advertisements make their burgers appear considerably larger than they are. He accuses the fast food behemoths of unfair and fraudulent trade practices in a planned class-action lawsuit. He is demanding damages of $50 million (£40.3 million) for himself and other similarly defrauded customers. The chains have yet to respond to the situation, which has received numerous complaints on social media. In March, the same law firms representing New Yorker Justin Chimienti filed a similar complaint against Burger King in Florida. Burger King has yet to react in court, but a revised complaint suggests that additional disgruntled customers have joined the lawsuit. The advertisements are “unfair and financially detrimental to consumers because they receive food that is significantly less valuable than what is promised,” according to the complaints.
