Case overview
What is the McDonald's case about?
A lawsuit accuses McDonald's USA LLC of misleading customers with breakfast combo ads that promised orange juice included at a set price, only for an undisclosed surcharge to be added at checkout. According to the complaint, this alleged bait-and-switch violated consumer protection laws in California, Florida, and Nevada, and amounted to fraudulent concealment, intentional misrepresentation, and negligent misrepresentation. McDonald's had argued it shouldn't be held responsible for how individual franchises set prices, but the court rejected that defense and allowed the case to proceed on a nationwide basis. The case remains ongoing, with no settlement finalized yet.
