Starbucks is too icy with its customers, says a woman who is suing the coffee chain for putting too many frozen cubes in its iced drinks.
Lead plaintiff Stacy Pincus has filed a $5million class action lawsuit against Starbucks for filling its cups with so much frozen water that customers are only getting half of what they're paying for, says the lawsuit, represented by Steven Hart with Hart, McLaughlin & Eldridge in Chicago, according to Court House News.
The company sells sizes in Tall (12 oz.), Grande (16 oz.), Venti (24 oz.) and Trenta (30 oz.), and the fluid ounces are advertised in the store.

Starbucks says that customers should expect that ice is an essential component of every iced drink, and therefore the lawsuit is without merit, according to TMZ. The company also said it would remake the drink of any customer who asked.
Pincus wants to represent anyone who has bought a Starbucks iced drink in the past ten years.
She accuses Starbucks of breach of express warranty, breach of implied warrant of merchantability, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment and fraud.
Last month, Starbucks was sued for skimping on its hot drinks. Two California residents, Siera Strumlauf and Benjamin Robles, claimed that Starbucks knowingly underfilled its lattes by 25 percent less than what was promised.
