Furious Lawsuit Challenges McDonald’s For False Menu Advertising
A lawsuit alleges McDonald’s deceptively advertises its McRib sandwich, claiming it lacks actual pork rib meat despite its name and shape.Summary
A class-action lawsuit has been filed against McDonald’s, accusing the fast-food giant of false advertising regarding its McRib sandwich. Plaintiffs argue that the sandwich’s name and appearance intentionally mislead customers into believing it contains pork ribs, when in reality it’s made from a “reconstructed meat product” with no significant quantity of rib meat. The lawsuit claims the use of the word “rib” implies a more premium cut of meat, deceiving consumers. McDonald’s maintains the McRib is made with 100% pork.

These include the firing of a Hilton employee after warning about ICE presence on TikTok, Duran Duran paying tribute to a woman killed by an ICE agent, a discount on the Dyson Airwrap, the death of ‘Seinfeld’ director Tom Cherones, loose monkeys causing concern in St. Louis, a lawsuit filed by the families of the University of Idaho murder victims against Washington State University, the passing of actor T.K.
