Starkist Tuna may owe you $25 dollars

Also in August earlier, StarKist was sued, for conspiring with two other tuna distributors for fixing tuna prices. Claim forms can also be submitted via mail and postmarked no later than the deadline: Hendricks v. StarKist Co. It’s all thanks to the settlement of a class-action lawsuit against the company.

To be eligible for the compensation, a shopper must have bought certain kinds of five ounce StarKist tuna between the period February 19, 2009 and October 31, 2014. The affected products are five ounce cans of Chunk Light Tuna in Water, Chunk Light Tuna in Oil, Solid White Tuna in Water, and Solid White Tuna in Oil.

The $12 million settlement fund was to include $8 million earmarked for cash payments and $4 million for tuna, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported at that time.

Starkist denied the allegations, but agreed to settle to avoid litigation costs.

Filing a false claim would be perjury. You have to file a claim by November 20, 2015. Does this lawsuit even affect you?
