Why we used this label
Relative to McRib marketing, counsel's signed pleading expressly challenges it as deceptive.
Four consumers say the McRib's name and rib-shaped patty imply rib meat. McDonald's calls the lawsuit meritless and denies using hearts, tripe or stomach. Reuters reports that a federal judge rejected the company's bid to dismiss the case but dismissed some claims.
