Keurig has agreed to pay $31 million to resolve claims it violated antitrust laws by fixing the price of its Keurig K-Cup Portion Packs products.

The settlement benefits individuals who purchased Keurig K-Cup Portion Packs from retailers other than Keurig between Sept. 7, 2010, and Aug. 14, 2020, in all states other than Mississippi and Rhode Island; between March 24, 2011, and Aug. 14, 2020, in Mississippi; or between July 15, 2013, and Aug. 14, 2020, in Rhode Island.

Claims against Keurig were consolidated in June 2014. According to the plaintiffs in the eight consolidated class action lawsuits, Keurig violated antitrust laws in order to monopolize the market for single-serve coffee pods. This monopoly allegedly allowed the company to artificially fix the price of Keurig K-Cup Portion Packs products — subjecting consumers to financial strain that wouldn’t exist in a healthy market.

In December 2017, these claims were preserved by a federal judge who denied the company’s motion for dismissal.

Keurig has not admitted any wrongdoing in the case but has agreed to a $31 million Keurig K-Cup Portion Packs class action settlement. The settlement provides reimbursement for Keurig K-Cup purchases in the form of cash payments. Reimbursement rates will vary from 0.75% to 100% depending on the state the purchase was made in and whether proof of purchase was submitted with a claim.

In order to benefit from the settlement, Class Members must file a valid claim form by July 15, 2021. Proof of purchase of Keurig K-Cup purchases and information about these purchases (number of K-Cups purchased, price paid, state where purchase took place, brand name, etc.) is required to validate claims.

The deadline for exclusion is May 14, 2021. The deadline for objection is May 17, 2021. The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for June 4, 2021.

    This is bs nobody keeps receipts that far back thinking the company is overcharging them, and 10 years later they may need the receipts to get a refund for a class action suit!!! This is just another way to not have to pay people!!! I bought sooo many boxes for years, along with many other people and we don’t qualify for the suit because we don’t hoard receipts for 10 years!!!!

    1. Amanda Hulett says:

      Couldn’t have said it better myself. It’s bull cause I was so frustrated having all these kcups I Couldn’t use. i ended up cutting out the edge of a user kcup I could Use in the machine and placed it on the ones I couldn’t. A bit of workBut it did work to be able to use them. Problem is I don’t remember exactly where I got them from or where all the brands I had that didn’t work were and most importantly I haveNo friggin idea where I would’ve put the receipt for sure so frustrating

  2. Dawnmarie Greene says:

    Please add me, unfortunately I don’t have receipts, but have purchased many boxes. Please add!!

  3. Anthony e Aguilar says:

    Please add me bought 24 cup per box once a week since 2017

  4. LOIS ROXANN AGUILAR says:

    Please add me. I was a member of coffee company and had 2 boxes of
    48 coffee cups delivered every two weeks for 2 years! Different kinds.
    Than once a week I bought at cvs 1 boxes of 24 wkly since 2018. I NEVER SAVED RECEIPTS

  5. LORIE BASON says:

    add me please

  6. Angela M Williams says:

    Please add me that’s all I have used every week for the last 4 years and I buy a 12 pack every week $12.98 however I never keep grocery receipts that’s 208 weeks times $12,98 that adds up to $2699.84 wow that’s alot of money for coffee who knew

  7. Lyn Lyle says:

    Add me. I have not kept grocery receipts for 5 years ….really

  8. David Alterman says:

    Question: on the form “Number of Keurig K-Cup Portion Packs Purchased” is this asking how many k-cups came in the box? example 24 count box equaling 24? Or is the form asking how many boxes regardless of the containing count. example i bought 2 boxes of 24 count k cups equating to 2.

  9. Mike Anderson says:

    So please advise me if this is true….the only people who may file a claim are the people who can provide receipts?
    You actually mean that the people who do not keep receipts for perishable items will be punished once again?
    Why do the attorneys not also fight for the rest of us?
    Even reimbursement at half price would be much appreciated and fair.
    Someone please advise me if this is a accurate assumption.

    1. Yadad says:

      Yeah maybe you should buy online :)

  10. ROBYN CATES HALE says:

    I WILL HAVE TO GO BACK THRU MY HARRIS TEETER REWARDS CARD AND POSSIBILBY MY WALGREENS CARD AS THESE ARE THE ONLY 2 THAT WOULD HAVE THE PROPER INFORMAITON. i AGREE WITH THE GENTLEMAN WHO STATES THIS IS A LONG WAY TO GO BACK FOR TICKETS FROM GROCERCY STORES. i HAVE PURCHASED THIS COFFEE AS WELL AS MY MOTHER IN LAW – i BELIEVE SOME MINIMAL TYPE OF CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE OFFERED TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN LOYAL CUSTOMERS AND NOW FIND OUT THIS INFO
