Levy v. McDonald's – Freedland Farmer Russo Behren
& Sheller has filed a Class Action suit on behalf of
a 5 year old girl with Autism. The family decided to
put their daughter on a gluten-free diet after
numerous studies showed that such a diet can improve
quality of life. McDonald's advertised that its
french fries were gluten-free. However, McDonald's
recently revealed that its french fries did in fact
contain gluten. The class action claim is for unfair
and deceptive trade practices and seeks a
disgorgement of profits McDonald's enjoyed from
sales of its french fries to those seeking to adhere
to a gluten free diet. The class will likely seek to
recover such money on behalf of autism agencies or
societies to promote additional research on autism
and related conditions.
