Starbucks sued over bungled coupon
A New York firm seeks class action status for lawsuit seeking $114 million in damages.

A bungled Starbucks iced coffee freebie may end up hurting the chain more than a caffeine-induced headache.
A New York attorney filed a lawsuit today against the Seattle giant, demanding $114 million in damages for consumers who were snubbed when the Seattle chain had to recall the coupon last week. Starbucks emailed the free grande iced beverage coupon to a limited number of Starbucks employees two weeks ago with the instruction to "forward" to friends and family.
However, the coupon got out of control, landing in thousands of inboxes and Internet message boards, forcing the chain to reject scores of coupon-touting java lovers pouring into stores for the perk.
"Starbucks should account to the thousands of consumers who relied upon the advertisement, went out of their way to stop by a Starbucks and ended up being charged $3 for coffee," stated Peter Sullivan of Sullivan Gardner PC, who filed the suit in New York Supreme Court on behalf of Kelly Coakley and "all others similarly situated." He is seeking class action status for the case.
The damage amount is equal to a cup of coffee a day for the 38 days that the coupon was valid, attorney Sullivan said.
Starbucks officials could not be reached for comment early Friday. Last week, the company stated the coupon had to be recalled because it was "redistributed beyond the original intent and modified beyond Starbucks control."
Sullivan said the company should have known that the coupon would be mass distributed once it clicked on the send button.
"The excuse proffered by Starbucks, that they did not believe that an offer released over the internet would be so widely distributed, is ridiculous." "Clearly, Starbucks chose to initiate a viral marketing campaign to counteract their slumping sales."
