Wahlburgers Agrees to $2 Million Settlement Over Misleading Pickle Ads: Customers Can Claim Compensation
According to The US Sun, Wahlburgers, owned by chef Paul Wahlberg and his famous brothers Donnie and Mark, agreed to pay $2 million in a lawsuit about their pickles. The lawsuit said the pickles were advertised as “fresh” and “all-natural” but had a preservative called sodium benzoate. Although the Wahlburgers denied doing anything wrong, they decided to settle.
Customers who bought Fresh Dill Spears, Fresh Dill Chips, or Fresh Dill Chips Hot between April 1, 2021, and March 31, 2023, can get some money from the settlement. Without receipts, people can get $2 per product, up to $12 for six products. With receipts, they can get paid for as many products as they bought. Claims can be made on picklesettlement.com, where they can choose payment methods like Zelle, Venmo, pre-paid MasterCard, or direct deposit.
