Summary
Anna Tollison has filed a class action lawsuit against Subway, claiming its Steak & Cheese sandwich is falsely advertised to appear as if it contains 200% more meat than it actually does.
Tollison alleges that Subway’s misleading advertising causes consumers to overpay, which is concerning due to inflation.
Her lawyer said that while such cases often face dismissal, if this one proceeds, it could lead to compensation and class certification, allowing affected customers to seek refunds for the alleged misrepresentation.
Don’t those photos always have a small print disclaimer on them that says the actual product may not look like that or something along those lines? Is that enough to protect them in a lawsuit?
Fun fact I’ve been told by laywers in a different industry (software ie EULA and licenses): most of that stuff doesn’t do anything. It’s a front door lock. But it’s ok because for most companies you’re also restricted by what lawyers say is ok (oh no we can’t use this “git” stuff, it’s GPL and GPL is literally going to murder you in your sleep it you use it!?!).
