Popeyes chicken tenders class action lawsuit overview:
- Who: Natasha Sanders filed a class action lawsuit against Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Inc.
- Why: Sanders claims Popeyes deceives consumers into falsely believing that its Chicken Tender products are made entirely with chicken tenderloin meat.
- Where: The class action lawsuit was filed in New York federal court.
Popeyes falsely markets, advertises, and sells its Chicken Tender products since the item is not in fact made entirely from chicken tenderloins, a new class action lawsuit alleges.
Plaintiff Natasha Sanders claims Popeyes’ customers are deceived into buying a “more desirable” product which they believe will be juicier—as well as more expensive—than what it actually turns out to be.
Sanders argues that, rather than using chicken tenderloins, Popeyes uses other meat from the chicken breast, which she claims is less tender and juicy.
“As a result, the Products are not chicken tenders and are therefore falsely and deceptively advertised,” states the Popeyes class action.
Sanders wants to represent a nationwide Class and New York subclass of consumers who have purchased any of Popeyes Chicken Tender products.
Popeyes’ customers paid ‘premium price’ for Chicken Tenders
Popeyes’ customers, Sanders argues, paid a “premium price” for its chicken tender products due to their belief that the chicken meat in the products are “comprised entirely of chicken tenderloin.”
Sanders claims further that Popeyes’ customers would have either not have purchased the Popeyes Chicken Tenders or “paid significantly less for them” had they known they were not made entirely from chicken tenderloins.
Sanders claims Popeyes is guilty of unjust enrichment and in violation of New York General Business Law. She is demanding a jury trial and requesting declaratory relief along with statutory and punitive damages for herself and all Class Members.
A separate class action lawsuit was filed against Popeyes in January of last year over claims the company violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act by failing to get consent before collecting and storing the biometric data of some of its workers.

I’m angry after buying strips today. They were so thin and obviously overcooked. It was like trying to eat breaded jerky. It was awful. What happened?? They used to be so fat and juicy.
