In Re: Smashburger IP Holder, LLC, et al.

• This website informs you of a proposed settlement in a class action lawsuit alleging that Defendants Smashburger IP Holder LLC and Smashburger Franchising LLC (“Defendants”) misrepresented the amount of meat in their “Triple Double” hamburgers.
  
  
• The settlement will provide $2,500,000 in cash to pay claims for those who purchased one or more Triple Double hamburgers from Smashburger and to pay litigation fees and expenses. Class members can receive up to $20 in cash without proof of purchase. 
  
  
• Alternatively, Class members can choose to receive a voucher that will entitle the bearer of the voucher, upon the purchase of a regularly-priced entrée, to either a) an upgrade of a single beef Smashburger hamburger to a double beef hamburger for no additional cost; or b) a small Smashburger fountain drink for no additional cost. Class members can claim up to 10 vouchers without proof of purchase.

To qualify, you must have purchased and/or consumed a hamburger sold under the Smashburger brand with any name that included the phrase “Triple Double,” including but not limited to, one or more of the following hamburgers listed below between July 1, 2017 and May 31, 2019. 

o Triple Double hamburger;
o Bacon Triple Double hamburger;
o French Onion Triple Double hamburger;
o Pub Triple Double hamburger.

• Defendants deny that they did anything wrong or unlawful and assert that the representations at issue were truthful, not misleading, and consistent with the law. The Court has not decided who is right. Both sides have agreed to settle the dispute and give benefits to Class Members.

• The Court in charge of this case still has to decide whether to approve the proposed settlement. Payments will be made if the Court approves the settlement and after appeals are resolved.

• Please be patient. Your legal rights are affected whether you act or not. Read this website carefully because it explains decisions you must make and actions you must take now.
