FILE PHOTO: Illustration photo of a Subway logo on a napkin - Subway urged a federal judge in California to throw out a lawsuit accusing the chain of deceiving consumers about the content of its tuna sandwiches, wraps and salads.
Subway also said the plaintiffs' lawyers should be sanctioned, calling their conduct "frankly, outrageous."The lawsuit filed in January by Karen Dhanowa and Nilima Amin had said Subway's tuna products were "completely bereft of tuna," and concocted to "imitate the appearance of tuna" so Subway could charge premium prices.
In Friday's filing, Subway said the negative media attention from the lawsuit hurt thousands of franchisees by depressing sales of a best-selling product.
Fish Fraud. It's rampant.
