I love StarKist tuna--it's actually my favorite and my family's favorite brand of tuna. It is disappointing to hear that there was a failure on StarKist's to put the actual weight of the tuna in each can, but instead put a false weight. If you have purchased StarKist Tuna in the past, I would check this out!
A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging StarKist Co. under-filled some of its 5-ounce canned tuna products in violation of state and federal law. If you purchased StarKist tuna, you could be entitled to compensation from the class action settlement.
According to the StarKist tuna class action lawsuit, which was filed in February 2013 by plaintiff Patrick Hendricks, federal law requires 5-ounce cans to contain an average of 2.84 to 3.23 ounces of tuna. However, Hendricks alleges that 5-ounce cans of StarKist tuna only contain an average of 2.81 to 3.11 ounces of tuna.
Class Members may elect to receive either a cash payment of $25 or $50 in product vouchers redeemable for StarKist tuna products.
If you have bought StarKist tuna any time between Feb. 19, 2009 to Oct. 31, 2014, then you are entitled to a cash payment of $25 or $50 worth of vouchers for the product.
