GoKawiilMcRib false-advertising lawsuit against McDonald's allowed to proceed in Chicago
A federal judge in Chicago ruled that a proposed class-action lawsuit over the McRib sandwich can move forward against McDonald's. Four consumers allege the sandwich, despite its name, contains no rib meat and is instead made from cheaper pork parts like shoulder, heart and tripe shaped like a rack of ribs. Judge April M. Perry dismissed five of the claims but allowed deception, fraud and unjust enrichment claims to continue.
