Fresh Potatoes Class Action Lawsuit, No Purchase Proof Required, $5 Estimated Settlement [AZ, CA, FL, IA, KS, MI, MA, MN, NV, NY, NC, TN, VT, WI]

The Offer

Direct link to claim website

  • If you have purchased fresh potatoes from retailers in any of the following states:  Arizona, California, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont or Wisconsin (for end use and not for resale) between Oct. 14, 2004 and April 10, 2015 then you’re eligible to participate in a class action lawsuit.

The Fine Print

  • No purchase proof is required
  • “Fresh potatoes” are defined as potatoes not purchased for processing into another commercial product available for resale
  • You have until October 16th, 2015 to file your claim

Our Verdict

The settlement you’ll receive is dependent on how many claimants there are, you’ll receive an equal share of the $5,500,000 settlement pool, with an estimate of $5 being received for claimants. This class action lawsuit is in relation to allegation that certain companies were engaging in price fixing in regards to fresh potatoes, causing consumers to pay more than they normally would for potatoes.

I imagine most people living the qualifying states (and even those who aren’t) would have purchased potatoes during this time period. If you did, it doesn’t hurt to file a claim. Although it’s worth remembering that you’re giving up your right to sue these companies individually if you do participate.

If you’re new to class action settlements/rebates, I’d recommend reading our primer guide here first.

Please correct the spelling in the title of this posting. The correct spelling is potato. There is no letter E in potato.
