U by Kotex Tampons Settlement Checks
TCA viewers have received settlement checks worth as much as $48.45 from a U by Kotex tampons class action settlement.
A $7 million settlement ended the class action lawsuit which alleged U by Kotex tampons could come unraveled or otherwise come apart while in women’s bodies.
Months before the class action lawsuit was filed, a recall was issued for the tampons after consumers reported the problem with the product coming apart.
The plaintiffs claimed the tampons that came unraveled were difficult to remove; some even said the products unraveled while still in the package, before they were even used.
Consumers eligible to benefit from the settlement were those who bought U by Kotex Sleek Tampons, U by Kotex Fitness Tampons, U by Kotex Click Tampons and U by Kotex Security Tampons in Regular, Super or Super-Plus Absorbency between March 8, 2013 and Nov. 19, 2019.
The deadline to file a claim was Aug. 18, 2020.
The U by Kotex Tampons Class Action Lawsuit is Moore v. Kimberly-Clark Worldwide Inc., Case No. 19 L 0846, in the Circuit Court for the 20th Judicial Circuit, County of St. Clair, State of Illinois.
Mercedes HVAC Class Action Settlement Checks
Other TCA viewers who have filed claim forms in a Mercedes HVAC class action settlement have reported receiving checks worth $300.
Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit claimed their vehicles had a defect that caused a buildup of mold and mildew in the HVAC system.
According to the class action lawsuit, the carmaker was aware the issue existed, but failed to implement a fix.
The plaintiffs said the company offered to clean the affected vehicles’ HVAC systems and replace the cabin air filters; however, these measures were only a temporary solution.
Mercedes-Benz has not admitted any wrongdoing.
The settlement terms allow Class Members to be reimbursed up to 100% for related HVAC repairs. The amount each Class Member is eligible to collect depends on their vehicle’s age and mileage.
Consumers who own or previously owned or leased one of the affected Mercedes-Benz models were eligible to make a claim.
The following Mercedes-Benz models are covered by the settlement:
- 2008 to 2019 C-Class
- 2010 to 2015 GLK-Class
- 2012 to 2017 CLS-Class
- 2010 to 2019 E-Class
- 2015 to 2019 GLA-Class
- 2013 to 2016 GL-Class
- 2016 to 2019 GLE-Class
- 2017 to 2019 GLS-Class
- 2012 to 2015 M-Class
- 2016 to 2019 GLC-Class
The deadline to file a claim for repairs before May 11, 2020, was July 25, 2020. For repairs performed between May 11 and Dec. 7, 2020 the deadline is within 75 days of the repair, or no later than Feb. 20, 2021.
The Mercedes HVAC Class Action Lawsuit is Amin, et al. v. Mercedes-Benz USA LLC, et al., Case No. 1:17-cv-01701-AT, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

I received my postcard Kotex settlement check and was unable to deposit the check via my mobile device. Will try again at my local bank.
You have to write “deposit only ” and your signature then scan it.
I deposited my postcard check through the atm. It was difficult to do it on your mobile phone due to the size.
You put a regular size blank piece of paper or envelope underneath the postcard check to give it the size of a regular check.
I received a check for $300.00. Without TCA I wouldn’t have known about the Mercedes Claim. Thank you TCA.
I got a check for $60 even though I had receipts for much more. I wouldn’t have received anything without TCA, though, so I’m grateful!!!
