Fast food chain Burger King is facing a proposed class-action lawsuit claiming its marketing of Whopper sandwich sizes is misleading.
"These people aren't looking to get $5 million dollars because they bought a hamburger that didn't look like what they were advertised. The consumers really want to bring about change. They have a lot of choices. They just want to just be told truthfully what their choices are," Anthony Russo, an attorney for the plaintiffs, told "Good Morning America."A Burger King spokesperson told ABC News in a statement, "The plaintiffs' claims are false.
ABC News legal analyst and The Cochran Firm managing partner Channa Lloyd explained, "Essentially, this lawsuit boils down to, 'You sold me something that wasn't exactly what I got.' Burger King is just gonna have to show that they were not in a contractual agreement and that what they advertised was what they gave to consumers, and that any hyperbole on their part or exaggeration was what a reasonable consumer would expect.
