Burger King's ongoing legal troubles surfaced when a federal judge refused to dismiss a false advertising lawsuit aimed at the company. The suit claims misleading advertising of the Whopper's size and ingredients and involves 19 plaintiffs from 13 states. While Burger King defended its practices by stating the consistency of its flame-grilled beef patties, Judge Roy Altman's ruling permits claims of negligent misrepresentation to move forward, citing Florida law's lack of a requirement for a special relationship in advertising disputes.
A federal judge in Florida this week denied Burger King's request to dismiss a lawsuit against the company for false advertising related to its famous burger.
The lawsuit represents 19 people from 13 different states who say they purchased Burger King's signature Whopper based on false and misleading advertising.
