NEW YORK — A couple of unhappy customers who missed out on free grilled chicken at KFC after Oprah promoted it are taking their beef to court.
Two California residents who were unable to use the online coupon sued KFC owner Yum Brands Inc. in state court in Los Angeles this week. They claim the company’s grilled chicken giveaway last month was a “bait and switch” to get people to spend money at the chain.
For days after the 24-hour posting began, the company was swamped with customers craving the freebie. The company has offered rain checks to those who could not redeem the coupons.
