Burger King accused of whopper: lawsuit

In this photo illustration, a Burger King Whopper hamburger is displayed on April 05, 2022 in San Anselmo, California. A federal lawsuit has been filed and is seeking class-action status alleging that fast-food burger chain Burger King is misleading customers with imagery that portrays its food, including the Whopper burger, as being much larger than what is actually being served to customers. The lawsuit is being brought by South Florida attorney Anthony Russo. Photo Illustration by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images

Have you ever opened a fast-food bag only to realize that the order you received bears little resemblance to the professionally shot, styled and color corrected images plastered on the side of the restaurant? Well, Anthony Russo, a South Florida lawyer, allegedly has — and now he's suing Burger King.

Russo has filed a federal lawsuit seeking class-action status, alleging that the home of the Whopper has deceived customers by "portraying its food as being much larger compared with what it has served to customers in real life," according to NBC News.
