A federal judge in Chicago has allowed a proposed class action lawsuit against McDonald's to proceed, rejecting the company's motion to dismiss claims that the McRib sandwich misleads consumers about its meat content. The case centers on whether the product's name, rib-like shape, and marketing falsely imply it contains expensive rib meat, when plaintiffs allege it uses cheaper cuts like shoulder, heart, and tripe. While the ruling permits fraud and deception claims to move forward, it does not establish that McDonald's engaged in deceptive practices.
Sen. J.D. Vance, an Ohio Republican senator, is blocking the confirmation vote for April Perry to become the next U.S. Attorney in Chicago.
