Group will sue McDonald's over Happy Meal toys
June 22, 2010 The Center for Science in the Public Interest says they are. The
Washington-based consumer advocacy group threatened to file a
lawsuit against McDonald's Tuesday, charging that the fast food
chain "unfairly and deceptively" markets the toys to children.
The center, which has filed dozens of lawsuits against food
companies in recent years, is hoping the publicity and the threat
of a lawsuit will force McDonald's to negotiate with them on the
issue. The group announced the lawsuit in the letter to McDonald's
30 days before filing it with the hope that the company will agree
to stop selling the toys before a suit is filed.
