Seven putative class action cases against Subway Sandwich Shops, Inc. for engaging in a false or misleading advertising campaign will be centralized in the Eastern District of Wisconsin, according to a transfer order by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. In re: Subway Footlong Sandwich Mktg. & Sales Practices Litig., 2013 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 81639 (E.D. Wis. June 10, 2013).

Specifically, they complained that Subway’s uniform standards and practices with respect to the manufacturing process and franchisee training result in a sandwich that is materially shorter than the foot that is advertised, in violation of state consumer protection laws.
