Summary

Anna Tollison has filed a class action lawsuit against Subway, claiming its Steak & Cheese sandwich is falsely advertised to appear as if it contains 200% more meat than it actually does.

Tollison alleges that Subway’s misleading advertising causes consumers to overpay, which is concerning due to inflation.

Her lawyer said that while such cases often face dismissal, if this one proceeds, it could lead to compensation and class certification, allowing affected customers to seek refunds for the alleged misrepresentation.

    Here in EU it’s illegal to advertise to consumers without taxes. Regulation is cool when t protects consumers and the environment and it stimulate real competition, instead of the more sophisticated liar.
    I grief every time I hear some stupid Republican American call for more deregulation. Deregulation was also what made the banks fail.
    But somehow there is little response in USA against the minimal state you can drown in a bathtub?!
    Although it’s obviously worse to empower the mega corps and the mega rich, over a lawful state regulation against abusing power.

    Edit: de-hyperlinking the lens site, they don’t deserve any clicks, only hate.

    Good call. 😀
