Subway sandwich ads are "grossly misleading," lawsuit claims

A New York woman has a beef with restaurant chain Subway.
When Anna Tollison ordered a $6.99 Steak & Cheese sandwich this summer, she based her selection on photos of the product on the restaurant chain's app, according to a complaint filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. What she got from the Queens Subway shop was a far cry from the generous helpings of thinly sliced steak and cheese on hero bread shown in the company's advertising, she alleged.
"There was barely any steak in the sandwich," according to the suit, which accuses Subway of "grossly misleading" advertising.
U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a briefing on Monday that the Biden administration was deeply concerned about a vote by Israel's parliament to pass two laws that could prevent the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees — the largest aid provider in Gaza — from operating in the Palestinian territories.
Jeff Bezos on Monday defended the Washington Post's decision not to endorse a presidential candidate as "principled," with the billionaire founder of Amazon.com arguing Americans believe the media is biased. Bezos, who bought the newspaper in 2013, also pushed back against any notion that he ordered it up to protect his business interests.
