There are a few days left to claim some of the 5.5-million-dollar settlement from the fast-food chain Smashburger. The company was sued for claiming that its "Triple Double" burgers had "three times the cheese and double the beef in every bite” when plaintiffs say that said burgers contained "two patties that are each half the size" of the patties of the chain's regular-sized burgers. I don't know about how you feel, but it seems the 5.5 million dollars is a lot of money for misrepresenting how much beef was in its Triple Double burgers. Obviously companies need to be extremely careful with the verbiage they use in their advertisements.

Smashburger has denied doing any wrongdoing but has agreed to settle the dispute. The settlement is available to anyone who purchased a Triple Double hamburger, a Bacon Triple Double hamburger, a French Onion Triple Double hamburger, or a Pub Triple Double hamburger from July 1, 2017, through May 31, 2019.

Don't get too excited with the amount of money you will be getting in a check. I have been in on a few of class-action suits and the more people involved, the less money you get. One time I received a check for .47 cents! The cost of postage was more than than the check I received.

If you want to get in on the class action suit:

Proof of purchase is not necessary to be eligible for this settlement.
