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. She 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.”
