McDonald's is facing a class action lawsuit alleging that its iconic McRib sandwich misleads customers through its very name, according to E! News. The complaint claims the product, long marketed and sold under the "McRib" branding, does not actually contain rib meat.

The McRib has been a polarizing fan favorite for decades, known for its limited-time returns that spark both nostalgia and criticism. The lawsuit adds a new layer of controversy to the sandwich, which has already divided customers over its taste and ingredients for years.

Details on the specific legal claims and what remedy plaintiffs are seeking were not fully outlined in the available reporting. McDonald's has not yet issued a public response to the allegations, per E! News.
