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.
Tollison v. Subway Restaurants Inc. et al, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of New York
The suit seeks unspecified damages for consumers who have purchased Subway Steak & Cheese sandwiches in the state of New York within the past three years.
Subway did not respond to a request for comment.
This isn’t the first time Subway has been accused of false advertising. In 2021, the company was sued by a California resident who alleged that Subway’s tuna didn’t contain any actual tuna. The case was eventually dismissed.
