There are a few days left to claim some of the $5.5 million settlement from the fast-food chain Smashburger after the company was sued for claiming that its “Triple Double” burgers had “three times the cheese and double the beef in every bite.”
The plaintiffs of the lawsuit claimed that said burgers contained “two patties that are each half the size” of the patties of the chain’s regular-sized burgers, according to the class-action lawsuit filed in 2019.
SUBWAY REPORTEDLY CONSIDERING $10 BILLION SALE
Smashburger has denied doing any wrongdoing in its marketing. Both the defendants and the plaintiffs have agreed to settle the dispute, according to Kroll, the firm managing the settlement.
This settlement is available to anyone who purchased a Triple Double hamburger, a Bacon Triple Double hamburger, a French Onion Triple Double hamburger, or a Pub Triple Double hamburger from July 1, 2017, through May 31, 2019. Proof of purchase is not necessary to be eligible for this settlement.
Customers of Smashburger can receive $4 for each product mentioned above that they purchased between the time frame for this settlement, receiving up to a maximum of $20 in cash per household. A second option available in this settlement will allow customers to receive a voucher that will allow the consumer either to upgrade a single beef Smashburger hamburger to a double beef hamburger for no additional cost or receive a small Smashburger fountain drink for free after buying a regular entree. Up to 10 vouchers can be claimed without proof of purchase.
