The McDonald’s lady required skin grafts. This woman suffered mild disappointment. There is no possible comparison between the two cases. False advertising? Yes. Refer to FTC for penalties. Harm suffered? Virtually zero. This is a frivolous lawsuit and waste of any court’s time.
It’s a class action lawsuit. It represents the rights of an entire group, even if it’s only a single person bringing forward the suit. It’s not about the harm done to a single person.
If a thief steals one dollar from a thousand people, you could say “oh, that person only lost a dollar” or you could say “that thief stole a thousand dollars”. The harm suffered to each individual was minimal, but harm was suffered, and if you add it all up, a lot of harm was done. That’s not frivolous.
Yes, I read the court filing. The only problem is that the collective value of the suffering caused by this particular false advertising would be worth about a dollar fifty. The only people who win from this kind of lawsuit are the lawyers.
I would not be making fun of this suit if it was about Hershey’s lead and cadmium problem:

Once again, there was no harm suffered.
