Subway ‘Footlong’ Customers Drop Sub-Par Settlement

Customers alleging that Subway’s Footlong subs don’t always measure up dropped their case Oct. 24 after a scathing Seventh Circuit opinion last month (In re Subway Footlong Sandwich Mktg. & Sales Practices Litig., E.D. Wis., No. 13-2439, 10/24/17).

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit called the class action settlement—which provided $520,000 for class counsel but only toothless injunctive relief for the class—"no better than a racket.”

The plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed their claims without prejudice rather than try to hash out a new settlement once the case returned to the district court on remand.
