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.
