“Dunkin’ is facing a $5 million class action lawsuit based on claims that it discriminates against customers with lactose intolerance and milk allergies by charging them extra for non-dairy milk alternatives.
A group of 10 Plaintiffs across the US accused the coffee giant of charging an extra $0.50 to $2.15 for non-dairy milk alternatives in drinks, according to the lawsuit filed in the District Court in Northern California and viewed by Business Insider. The plaintiffs sought to represent all customers who faced this surcharge.
The plaintiffs — who suffer from lactose intolerance and milk allergies — have all ordered coffee-based drinks, tea-based drinks, and other beverages that contained non-dairy milk like soy, oat, coconut, or almond milk from Dunkin’ stores since 2018.”
