Description

Drive-In Don’s fast food restaurant sells the most delicious burgers in town at the most affordable price. Elementary and high schools in the vicinity have contracted with the restaurant to serve burgers during lunch hour. However, the county health department’s one-year study shows that children from these schools have the highest cholesterol, are the most obese, and are the least active.

George and Mary’s son, Randall, 12, attends one of the schools where Drive-In Don’s foods are served. He suffers from extreme obesity and high cholesterol and runs the risk of diabetes.

George and Mary have sued Drive-In Don’s and the school, alleging that Drive-In Don’s is engaging in illegal deceptive advertising of its foods and is not truthful to customers. Further, the lawsuit states that the restaurant purposely fails to provide consumers details of the ingredients of its food products.

  • Do George and Mary have a case? What are their strongest legal arguments? Explain.
  • What defense(s), if any, do the school and the restaurant have? Explain.
  • Can the government agencies, such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) help the plaintiffs in any way? Explain.

Since the food that was served to the child of George and Mary caused health problems,

ensure that the students are not served with an unhealthy burger from Drive-In dons restaurant.
The school ignored the side effects of the students from taking food from Drive-In Dons
without taking into consideration the health of the students. There are many suppliers who can
offer the service to the school, however, the school opted for Drive-In dons which provides
unhealthy food to the children. All the students within the school have been affected by the
unhealthy food that is offered by the school and it is not only Randal who has been affected. The
