New Jersey Man Loses Appeal on Denny’s Sodium Case
A New Jersey appeals court has shot down an appeal by a Tinton Falls man who tried suing Denny’s resturant chain over its sodium content.
Nick DeBenedetto, 49, filed a lawsuit claiming the chain wasn’t upfront about the high-sodium content of its food. The appeals court upheld a lower court’s dismissal of the case.
The three-judge appeals panel found that DeBenedetto couldn’t prove Denny’s had a defective or dangerous product, or that he was harmed.
DeBenedetto says he was being treated for hypertension and ate at Denny’s about 10 times in the year before he filed the lawsuit.
New Jersey Press Media reports that a health, nutrition and food-safety advocacy group respresented him in court.
