A woman in New York is suing fast-food giant, KFC for $20million after she spent $20 for a bucket of chicken and was disappointed when the meal fell short of what was advertised, the New York Post reports.
According to her, I came home and said, “Where’s the chicken?” Anna Wurtzburger told the Post. “I thought I was going to have a couple of meals.”
She claimed the fast-food giant’s advertising shows a “bucket that’s overflowing with chicken,” and she’s claiming false advertising.
Wurtzburger said she did complain to the company but was told that the reason why the bucket was overflowing with chicken on the ads was to give the opportunity for the public to see the product. She thinks it’s foul play. And so she hired a lawyer, demanding the company change its advertising.
The company went ahead to send the 64-year-old grandmother two gift certificates as an apology. She returned them, instead asking for $20million in damages.
“It’s the principle of the matter,” Wurtzburger told CBS Local. “Sometimes you gotta hit people where they feel it.”
Retired from the Fishkill Correction Facility, Wurtzburger lives off her Social Security check and said the KFC meal was supposed to be a rare treat.
The company says the lawsuit is “meritless.”
