"The plaintiffs' claims are false," Burger King said in a statement on Tuesday.
Fast food giant Burger King has been accused of misleading customers by showing the burger with a meatier patty and ingredients that "overflow over the bun." According to a report by BBC, US District Judge Roy Altman has rejected Burger King's bid to dismiss a lawsuit claiming that it cheated hungry customers by making its Whopper sandwich appear larger than it actually is.
Judge Altman in Miami said Burger King must defend against a claim that its depiction of Whoppers on in-store menu boards mislead reasonable customers, amounting to a breach of contract.
Burger King, a unit of Restaurant Brands International (QSR.TO), countered that it wasn't required to deliver burgers that look "exactly like the picture," but the judge said it was up to jurors to "tell us what reasonable people think," Reuters reported.
