Mother, Health Group Sue McDonald‘s for ’Baiting’ Kids With Happy Meal Toys

PORTLAND, Ore. (The Blaze/AP) — A California mother and The Center for Science in the Public Interest have sued McDonald’s Corp. trying to get the fast-food chain to stop using toys to market meals to young children.

The lawsuit was filed in California Superior Court in San Francisco on Wednesday morning by the center and Monet Parham.

They claim McDonald‘s decision to markets its meals directly to young children violates several consumer protection laws because it exploits a child’s vulnerability.
