A federal judge has ruled that a class-action lawsuit against Burger King, claiming misrepresentation of Whopper sizes, can proceed. Filed in March 2022, the lawsuit alleges that the burger chain used advertisements displaying significantly larger patties than those served in restaurants. The judge noted that the plaintiffs' assertions, if true, suggest the ads could lead consumers to have a misleading impression about product size. Burger King, while denying the claims, maintains their advertising depicts the same patties served in their restaurants across the U.S.
U.S. District Judge Roy K. Altman stated that the plaintiffs' claims were assumed to be true, recognizing that Burger King's advertisements could mislead reasonable consumers.
Burger King's spokesperson maintained that their advertising accurately reflects the patties used across their U.S. outlets, denying the allegations made in the lawsuit.
