Chick-fil-A customers who were duped by its promise of a less expensive lunch for ordering delivery could also be entitled to money or gift cards.
The favored fast-food joint reached a $4.4 million settlement in federal court after it was sued for allegedly marketing its delivery as a low-cost option — then jacking up prices on delivery products, Top Class Actions reported.
The settlement calls for the restaurant chain to determine a $1.45 million money fund and $2.95 million gift card fund made available for those impacted by the worth increases — nevertheless, Chick-fil-A doesn’t admit any guilt as a part of the deal.
“Plaintiffs allege that by omitting, concealing, and misrepresenting material facts about CFA’s delivery service, CFA deceives consumers into making online food purchases they otherwise wouldn’t make,” the delivery settlement says, in keeping with the outlet.
Chick-fil-A also agreed so as to add a disclosure notice on its app and website informing customers that item prices could also be higher for delivery orders.
The chicken giant agreed to notify potential class members of the settlement. A claim form would require a reputation, email address, phone number and certification that the claimant is eligible for payment.
Class members can pick from either a possible $29.25 money payment or $29.25 gift card. Payments might be less depending on the variety of respondents.
