The K-Cup Suit
The beverage industry’s major Keurig Dr. Pepper was sued in a class action lawsuit in 2018 for allegedly misleading customers about how simple it is to recycle its products. Keurig manufactures known as K-Cups, which come in a particular flavor variety and are made to fit into particular coffee machines for brewing and are widely known made out of plastic.
Although Keurig labeled his product as “recyclable,” the complaint claims that was false advertising. Furthermore, the lawsuit claims that the products end up in “landfills” and there isn’t a market to recycle them. Studies show that more than 90% of plastic is cannot be recycled. However, Keurig has repeatably denied the allegations in filings, it reached a $ 10 million settlement prior to this year leading customers to get refunds.
How To Be Eligible For The Refund?
In order to qualify, you must have purchased single-serving K-Cups in the US between June 8, 2016, and August 8, 2022. The packaging on the pods should have indicated “recyclable” on it.
Those qualifiers will receive a larger money refund if they have proof of purchase. If you manage to get proof, you are guaranteed at least $6 per household, with the maximum being $36. The refund is worth 35 cents for every 10 pods or $3.50 if purchased of 100.
Only two weeks left to file online the application by January 9. Additionally, there is a printout form for claiming and after send it to this address – Kroll Settlement Administration LLC P.O. Box 225391, New York, NY 10150-5391, Smith v. Keurig Green Mountain.
According to Statista, 27 percent of coffee consumers in America use Keurig brewing machines and most Americans are eligible for a refund. However, Keurig disregards The U.S. Sun as they request an interview.
