According to press reports, attorneys for Burger King® are filing for sanctions and reimbursement for legal expenses incurred in defending a frivolous lawsuit for their QSR client.

At issue was the alleged disparity between images of sandwiches and the product as served to customers. According to documentation, plaintiffs had knowledge that the images used by Burger King portrayed meals as they were served.  Plaintiff’s counsel failed to amend or withdraw the complaint following a ruling by the Judge to dismiss part of the case against Burger King.
