Judge Rules Against 'Boneless Wings' Mislabeling Lawsuit

A U.S. federal judge in Chicago has thrown out a lawsuit against Buffalo Wild Wings, in which a customer claimed the term 'boneless wings' was misleading to consumers.

The lawsuit was filed by Aimen Halim in 2023, alleging that the items marketed as boneless wings were, in fact, akin to chicken nuggets.

Judge John Tharp Jr. dismissed the suit, asserting that reasonable consumers wouldn't believe boneless wings are deboned wings. Halim has until March 20 to amend his suit with additional evidence.
