A federal judge in New York said there was no proof that the fast-food chains sold smaller-than-advertised burgers to customers.
Fast-food giants Wendy's and McDonald's have defeated a federal lawsuit filed against them after a New York judge dismissed the case accusing the chains of falsely advertising the size of their hamburgers.
Chimienti claimed that advertisements for burgers from McDonald's and Wendy's showed undercooked beef patties which appeared larger because the meat wasn't cooked, which would cause it to shrink in size. Judge Gonzalez said in his ruling that advertisements are considered “puffery,” and said Chimienti failed to prove that a reasonable customer would be misled by the advertisements.
