What’s The Beef In The Smashburger Lawsuit?
Occasionally, I’ll get something in the mail about my eligibility in a class-action lawsuit. I think the most I ever stood to gain was $25. I’ve never pursued any of these suits because they always sounded like more trouble that they were worth. Am I wrong about that? I suppose if I add up all of those class-action opportunities I passed on, it would amount to a significant amount of money.
There are a few days left to claim some of the 5.5-million-dollar settlement from popular fast-food chain Smashburger. According to the Washington Examiner, the company was sued for claiming that its “Triple Double” burgers had “three times the cheese and double the beef in every bite.” However, plaintiffs say that said burgers contained “two patties that are each half the size” of the patties of the chain’s regular-sized burgers.
Smashburger has denied doing any wrongdoing but has agreed to settle the dispute. The 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 but you must submit your claim by January 17, 2023. You can do so online or by mailing a request to Smashburger Settlement, c/o Kroll Settlement Administration, P.O. Box 5324, New York, New York, 10150-5324.
So how much do you stand to make from the Smashburger settlement? Customers can receive $4 for each product mentioned above up to a maximum of $20 per household. Maybe I’m right about it being more trouble that it’s worth.
