A class action settlement has been reached with Omaha Steaks Inc. over allegations that the food company violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
According to the lawsuit filed by plaintiff Michael Hetherington, Omaha Steaks placed phone calls to cell phones (and other phone numbers where the call recipient was charged for the call) using an automatic telephone dialing system (ATDS). An ATDS uses a number generator to produce random or sequential phone numbers that are then dialed and the call is placed.
The plaintiff alleged that thousands of these autodialed phone calls were placed over the last four years to cell phone customers without their previous express written consent to receive such calls, in violation of the TCPA.
Omaha Steaks denied any wrongdoing and assert that they have not acted improperly under the law. They stated that they believe to have many defenses to ensure their success at a trial, including their belief that a Class would not be granted certification.
However, Omaha Steaks agreed to enter into a settlement with the plaintiff and Class to avoid the cost of a trial. The plaintiff as Class Representative and Class Counsel feel this settlement is in the best interest of Settlement Class Members.
Omaha Steaks agreed to pay between $4.5 and $5.2 million to resolve the claims in the TCPA class action lawsuit.
Class members wishing to exclude themselves or object to the settlement must send their request by mail postmarked no later than June 3, 2016.

People who claimed to get an email are liars. They really aren’t able to say the email address? Ignorant.
I did post the email addy, but it apparently did not pass moderation.
I elected the check option but have not received a check or a email with a reward code.
Terry
I elected for the reward card and have yet to receive an email either
So did anyone else receive an email for the Reward code or a paper check in the mail other than the two previous posters?
No nothing !!
Yes kcc sucks
I opted for the Reward Card. I did not get any e-mail. Not surprised though. It’s KCC handling the case, cheating the consumers.
Are you not allowed to post the email address? I want to make sure I add it to safe senders list….I’m hoping I didn’t delete it by accident.
So checks should arrive today or tomorrow..
What’s the “from” address?
It’s a donotreply address, but the Reward Code is legit. I just used it at Omaha Steaks.
I, too, got the email tonight with the Reward Code as my payment in the Settlement. Which is confusing to me, as I opted for the cash choice over the gift card when I filled out my claim.
Have checks been mailed yet
