WASHINGTON—The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), along with a New Jersey man, filed a class-action lawsuit against Denny’s restaurants claiming most Denny's meals are dangerously high in sodium, putting the restaurant chain's customers at greater risk of high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke.
The lawsuit, filed in Superior Court of New Jersey in Middlesex County, seeks to compel Denny's to disclose on menus the amount of sodium in each of its meals and to place a notice on its menus warning about high sodium levels.
"By concealing an important material fact about its products—namely, that that these foods have disease-promoting levels of sodium—Denny's is failing its responsibility to its customers and is in violation of the laws of New Jersey and several other states," said CSPI Litigation Director Steve Gardner.
