McDonald’s and Wendy’s defeat lawsuit over burger depictions

Recently, we blogged about a lawsuit that accused Arby’s of false advertising by serving roast beef and brisket sandwiches that contained significantly less meat than what was depicted in advertisements. Arby’s may be breathing a sigh of relief right now because McDonald’s and Wendy’s have just prevailed in a similar lawsuit that targeted the depictions of their burgers.

Arby’s roast beef accused of being less plentiful, too well done compared to ads

For the past few years, Arby's Restaurant Group, Inc. touts its fast-food chain with the slogan, “We have the meats.” Now, a class-action lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of New York alleges otherwise. Plaintiff Joseph Alongis accuses Arby's of engaging in unfair and deceptive trade practices by using misleading photographs of sandwiches in its advertising. According to Alongis, Arby's customers receive roast beef and brisket sandwiches with significantly less meat than the amount depicted in advertisements.
