McDonald’s Monopoly Game Class Action Lawsuit

By Sarah Pierce

 

McDonald'sAn Illinois resident who thought he won a Nissan Leaf during McDonald’s Monopoly game promotion this fall has filed a class action lawsuit against the fast-food chain, claiming McDonald’s deceptive game stamps violated state law.

Plaintiff Michael Siegel alleges in the McDonald’s Monopoly game class action lawsuit that McDonald’s promotion violated the Illinois Prizes and Gifts Act, which prohibits deceptively written promotional prize offers made to Illinois residents.

“The Act requires a written promotional prize offer to contain in a clear and conspicuous statement information regarding the value and restrictions of the prize offers,” the McDonald’s Monopoly game class action lawsuit states, adding that violations of the IPGA entitle consumers to receive either $500 or twice the amount of the prize they would have won, whichever is greater.

The McDonald’s Monopoly game promotion class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of all Illinois persons or entities who, between September 27, 2011 and November 5, 2011, received a Monopoly game stamp that violated the written disclosures required by the IPGA. It is seeking class certification, statutory damages and interest, and attorneys’ fees.

The case is Michael Siegel v. McDonald’s Corporation, et al., Case No. 11-ch-5519, Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Court, Lake County, Illinois.
