• holding that a reasonable consumer purchasing an Angus Steak & Egg Breakfast Sandwich for $4 from Dunkin’ Donuts would not be misled into thinking she was purchasing an intact steak
• holding that Bristol-Myers applies to named plaintiffs in the class action context
• ruling that a reasonable consumer purchasing a grab-and-go “Angus Steak & Egg Breakfast Sandwich” (~$4) or an “Angus Steak & Egg Wake-Up Wrap” (~$2) from Dunkin Donuts would not be misled into thinking she was purchasing an actual, intact “steak”
• noting that it is only in a “truly exceptional case” that a corporate defendant will be treated as “at home” in forums other than “where it is incorporated or maintains its principal place of business”
• owning multiple franchises in New York does not subject a company to its general jurisdiction
• finding no general jurisdiction even though defendant had numerous establishments in New York because plaintiffs did not allege facts showing that the defendant’s contacts in New York were significant in relation to its nationwide business activity
