What is The Smashburger Class Action?
A $4 Million Class Action Settlement has been agreed upon with SmashBurger over allegations of false and misleading advertising. Smashburger is a fast food chain of hamburger restaurants founded in 2007 that operates restaurants in 35 U.S. states. As of 2018, Smashburger had over 220 restaurants in operation.The class action settlement will establish a $2.5 Million cash fund as well as 1.5 Million vouchers to consumers who were affected by misleading ads on the part of Smashburger. The Smashburger class action lawsuit alleged that a 2017 marketing campaign marketed their burgers as having "three times" the cheese, and "twice the beef". The claim in the class action lawsuit is that Smashburger misrepresented burgers that were called "triple doubles" such as the "Triple Double" and the "Bacon Triple Double" burgers. Affected customers will be able to claim either a cash reward or vouchers for products that qualify.
