A New York grandmother says she spent $20
for a bucket of chicken at Kentucky Fried
Chicken (KFC) last summer and was
disappointed when she didn't get what was
advertised.
The said:
“I came home and said, “Where’s the
chicken?’ ” Anna Wurtzburger said. “I
thought I was going to have a couple of
meals.” She claimed that KFC's advert
showed a “bucket that’s overflowing with
chicken,” which was what she expected.
She’s now suing them for $20m claiming
false advertising.
Wurtzburger complained to the company but
said she was told that the reason why all
bucket was overflowing with chicken on the
ads was to give the opportunity for the
public to see the product. But because
she wasn't satisfied with the explanation, she
hired a lawyer, demanding the company
change its advertising.
The company did send the 64-year-old
grandmother two gift certificates as an
apology, but she sent them back, instead
asking for $20 million in damages.
She said she's demanding $20m because
“It’s the principal of the matter,” Wurtzburger
told CBS Local.
“Sometimes you gotta hit
people where they feel it.”
KFC responded saying the lawsuit is
“meritless.”
