A lawsuit alleges McDonald’s McRib sandwich is misleadingly named, as it doesn't contain actual pork rib meat.Summary
A class action lawsuit has been filed against McDonald’s, claiming the McRib sandwich’s name is deceptive. Plaintiffs Peter Le and three others argue that the name “McRib” implies the sandwich contains real pork rib meat, which is more expensive, when it actually consists of ground and reconstituted pork. The lawsuit alleges this is a “deliberate sleight of hand” intended to mislead customers and violates both state and federal consumer protection laws. The plaintiffs contend that the rib-shaped patty is not made from rib meat itself, but from lower-grade pork components, and that McDonald’s intentionally misleads consumers with its branding.
