Claim Your Share of a $3.875 Million Tuna Settlement Before August 30, 2024
According to The US Sun, if you bought large cans of tuna from StarKist or Lion Capital, you might be eligible for a share of a $3.875 million settlement. This settlement followed a lawsuit that claimed the companies worked together to inflate prices on these big tuna packages, which are 40 ounces or more. While both companies denied they did anything wrong, they’ve agreed to pay the settlement: StarKist will cover $3.6 million, and Lion Capital will pay $275,000.
To get a payment, shoppers must have purchased these large tuna packages from stores like Costco, DOT Foods, Sam’s Club, Sysco, US Foods, or Walmart between June 1, 2011, and December 31, 2016. You don’t need a receipt, but eligible consumers should have received a postcard in the mail with details about their purchases. The deadline to file a claim is coming up soon on August 30, 2024, so it’s important to act quickly to get your payment.

The amount you receive from the tuna settlement will depend on how many people make claims and how much tuna they bought. Because the total settlement will be split among everyone who qualifies, there’s no fixed amount for each person. This settlement allows shoppers to get some of their overcharged money back due to the alleged price-fixing.
