    Do you not remember those two girls who tried to sue McDonald’s for making them fat?

      And how did that case end?

      Hint: Not well You can try to sue anyone for anything. There’s just no guarentee it’ll work, and it didn’t there.

      There are cases that do work, such as about transfats but that is about specifically misleading someone, not supplying something unhealthy. Also that was settled, not fully through the courts.

        We don’t know how the case in OP is gonna play out. You can’t predict the future.
