A class-action lawsuit alleges McDonald’s misled customers about the composition and marketing of its McRib sandwich.Summary
A new class-action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago accuses McDonald’s of fraud regarding its McRib sandwich. Four plaintiffs from multiple states claim they were “materially misled” into purchasing a product they wouldn’t have bought if they knew its true composition. The McRib, a limited-time offering consisting of seasoned pork, BBQ sauce, onions, and pickles on a homestyle bun, is known for its intermittent availability, which has cultivated a dedicated fanbase. The lawsuit challenges McDonald’s marketing, suggesting consumers are unaware of what they are actually consuming. The plaintiffs seek class-action status to represent other customers who may have been similarly misled.
