Lawsuit Claims Dunkin' Donuts Misleads About Blueberries

After a complaint was filed in federal court alleging that Dunkin' Brands' (NASDAQ: DNKN) Dunkin' Donuts' steak sandwiches do not actually contain "steak," a new suit makes similar charges about its blueberry bakery items. The lawsuit, which was filed in United States District Court in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, was filed by attorneys for Bartosz Grabowski "and on behalf of all others similarly situated." It seeks class action status. The plaintiff claims that in the coffee chain's various blueberry-named bakery products, including Glazed Blueberry doughnuts, Blueberry Butternut doughnuts, and Blueberry Crumb Cake doughnuts, contain imitation blueberries "that highly resemble actual blueberries due to their round shape and blue color."

Lawyers that if their client had known the products did not contain blueberries, he either would not have purchased them or would have paid significantly less for the products. They seek in excess of $5 million to remedy the situation.
