Seeking to represent everyone who purchased a mahi mahi dish in Sharky’s
Woodfired Mexican Grills throughout California, four Los Angeles County
residents have filed suit alleging that the menu items do not contain
mahi mahi fish as advertised. Chenier v. Sharky’s Franchise Group, LLC, No.
30-2012-00587784 (Cal. Super. Ct., filed July 31, 2012). The plaintiffs
claim that they would not have purchased the products had they known
the products were not made with mahi mahi. They allege violations of the
California Unfair Competition Law, False Advertising Law and Consumers
Legal Remedies Act, negligent and intentional misrepresentation, and breach
of express warranty, and seek disgorgement, restitution, public disclosure,
injunctive relief, compensatory and punitive damages, attorney’s fees, and
costs.
