A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging the makers of packaged ice engaged in an antitrust scheme to fix the price of bags and blocks of ice, resulting in consumers paying a higher price than they would have without the allegedly anticompetitive scheme.
If you purchased packaged ice from a supermarket, grocery store or other retailer and the ice was made by The Home City Ice Company, Arctic Glacier Inc., Arctic Glacier International Inc., Arctic Glacier Income Fund, Reddy Ice Corporation, Reddy Ice Holdings Inc., or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates between Jan. 1, 2001 and Mar. 6, 2008, you may be entitled to benefits from the class action settlement.
The packaged ice antitrust class action lawsuit was initially filed in 2008 by indirect purchasers who allege a group of packaged ice makers conspired to raise, fix, maintain or stabilize the price of packaged ice, in violation of federal antitrust laws. As a result, the plaintiffs allege, consumers were forced to pay more for packaged ice than they would have paid had the defendants not engaged in anticompetitive conduct.
Home City denies any wrongdoing but has agreed to pay $2.7 million to settle the packaged ice class action lawsuit.
NOTE: An indirect purchase is any purchase of packaged ice from a reseller or retailer, such as a grocery store, gas station, convenience store or other retailer.
Class Members who would like to object to or exclude themselves from the packaged ice settlement must do so no later than May 17, 2017.

I have a friend who started working there about 3 months ago. and recently they have shorted his paycheck. and his manager said he would get it fixed and it would be taken care of soon, that was 3 weeks ago and still the lies about it being there the next day and not. Now he is behind in his car and rent thanks to this. need to know where and who he needs to talk to get this fixed.

Filing went smoothly
It will not accept my email when I try to submit. It says my email address is invalid.
If you copy or auto filled out your email address there’s a extra space at end of your email! Click on ur email and make sure there’s no space if there is just back space till it’s at last letter
Your ‘click here to file a claim’ link isn’t working.
I am trying to file a claim for this but it does not take the capture code I put in, the one that proves you are not a robot I suppose and then after 3 attempts it makes me start over. Any clue?? Thanks.
I had the same problem- it IS case sensitive, meaning, you have to make sure to capitalize the letters if they are capital letters.
1. Make sure you click the box above the Captcha..otherwise it will keep asking you for a new one.
2. Make sure it’s case sensitive.
Bought many bags of these brands of ice over the summer
