Last January, Aimen Halim visited a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant in Mount Prospect, Illinois, where he bought an order of "boneless wings." Unbeknownst to Halim, these were not "wings" at all: They were actually spicy, deep-fried chunks of chicken breast meat. That horrifying discovery was just the beginning of the Chicago resident's ordeal, which is the basis of a would-be class-action lawsuit that he filed last week in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
It was bad enough that Halim paid good money for what he assumed was deboned chicken wing meat. Had he "known that the Products are not actually chicken wings," the complaint says, he "would have paid less for them" or "would not have purchased them at all." Worse, Halim is now living in a constant state of "uncertainty" regarding the nature of those products.
