    I never received my check and forgot all about it. Im being told they don’t know what happened to the $$ I was to get if they gave it to charity or sent to the State I reside in or what happened. I feel that if the administrator cant account for the $$ something is definatel wrong and why wasnt I notified it had settled.

    Lots of defects on products

  6. Anonymous says:

    I cannot provide proof of purchases over the last 7 years. Does anyone really keep grocery receipts for that length of time? Does this mean I am unable to participate in this action? Thanks!

    Sorry to say the person who started this is a total idiot. Walnuts are good for you just like a lot of other nuts. What is this person’s problem.

    The diamond walnut is crap in that it is just another example of our criminal FDA serving their corporate masters who produce vaccines and other pharmaceuticals that further damage our health along with processed foods. The FDA treats health advantage claims by natural food producers as “unapproved drugs” which they (the FDA criminals) uses to justify their intervention, abuse, extortion and assault on those who make natural foods available to us. They contend that studies to confirm or prove the health benefits of naturla food claims have not been done. Oh! Like big pharma does legitimate, scientific studies? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! So I would contend that the clown who initiated this law suit did so for money (lead plaintiffs get much more), is a big pharma shill, or not very bright. Only my opinion but three of the possibilities because I would bet he has no scientific proof that his health was damaged by eating walnuts! Oh and nuts are a great source of nutrients that we all need to stay healthy.
