MOWI USA DUCKTRAP SALMON SETTLEMENT UPDATE:
- Readers reported this settlement paying out $16.19 as of late March 2022.
- Congratulations to everyone who filed a claim and got PAID!
EDITOR’S NOTE: The Mowi USA Ducktrap River of Maine smoked salmon settlement has been sponsored and edited for clarity in collaboration with the sponsor.
Consumers who purchased Ducktrap River of Maine smoked salmon products may be eligible to claim up to $25 without proof of purchase thanks to a $1.3 million class action settlement with Mowi USA over allegations concerning the company’s sustainability claims.
The nationwide Class includes any person or entity in the United States who purchased a covered Ducktrap River of Maine smoked Atlantic salmon product with packaging that included the phrases “sustainably sourced,” “all natural,” and/or “from Maine” between March 1, 2017, and May 13, 2021.
The covered Ducktrap salmon products include those marketed under the Ducktrap River of Maine, Kendall Brook, Spruce Point, Marine Harvest, and Nova Lox brands.
A class action lawsuit had alleged Mowi USA misled consumers by inappropriately marking the Ducktrap salmon products as being all natural, sustainably sourced, and from Maine when they were actually not from Maine, not sourced in an environmentally sustainable way, and were treated with artificial chemicals.
Mowi USA, headquartered in Florida with worldwide brands, provides products such as whole gutted fish, fillets, steaks, smoked salmon, and portioned fish, according to its website.
The company denies all the claims against it, but has agreed to a settlement.
The Court has not ruled in favor of either party in this case.
If the Court grants final approval, Class Members who file a valid claim will receive a portion of the settlement fund after attorneys’ fees and other expenses have been deducted.
Each Class Member will receive up to $2.50 for each package of the Ducktrap salmon product they purchased in the United States during the Class Period.
The total payment for each household submitting a claim without proof of purchase will be limited to 10 packages, for a total of $25.
If proof of purchase is provided for additional units purchased, the 10-package limit does not apply.
If the total number of claim amounts and other payments, such as administration costs, exceed the $1.3 million settlement fund, this payment may be reduced proportionately.
In addition to the monetary relief, Mowi USA has agreed to make certain changes to its labeling practices.
A final approval hearing is scheduled for Nov. 19, 2021.
The deadline to opt out of or object to the settlement is Sept. 10, 2021.
The deadline to file a claim is also Sept. 10, 2021.
