Details: The Mini-Wheats settlement will resolve a four-year-old class action lawsuit (Dennis v. Kellogg Co.) that accuses Kellogg of falsely advertising that Mini-Wheats improved kids’ attentiveness, memory and other cognitive functions to a degree not supported by competent clinical evidence.
Kellogg stands by its advertising and denies any wrongdoing but has agreed to establish a $4 million class action lawsuit settlement fund to refund consumers and resolve the litigation. A federal judge preliminarily approved the class action settlement on May 5, 2013.

Thousands of people will be cheated out of their checks because Garden City Group is handling this one.
hey CC, I’m quite pissed off also, mainly at the administrators Rust and Garden City Group. Who are they to mass deny every claim a whole group puts in that they don’t like that they claimed before. It would be fun to get hundreds of rejected claimers to mass claim with them. 200 pissed off claimers 1 claim per day 100 days. An extra 20000 claims times 5 claims they are working on. What do u think. Harass
MY wife was always beleiver of these products and was purchasing them all the time. We purchased one box every other week.
My family and I have “DEFINITELY” purchased Frosted-Mini Wheats cereals between the dates of January 28, 2008 and October 1, 2009 within the United States. It is very disappointing that big companies won’t just be honest and just “STOP” printing incompetent and dishonest facts about a product that hasn’t properly been tested.
please add my name to the class action
for the amount of three boxs. thank you
purchase two boxes a week with five kids
and hoping kellogs mini wheats would be
healthy.
