Top Class Actions viewers are starting to receive checks in the mail from a class action settlement that accused the makers of Nutro Ultra brand dog food of mislabeling their products with a “Guaranteed Analysis,” regarding the amount of Bacillus they contained.

According to comments and posts on the Top Class Actions Facebook page, Class Members who submitted timely and valid claims for the Nutro Ultra class action settlement began receiving checks worth as much as $2 on Nov. 15, 2016.

If you filed a claim for the Nutro Ultra dog food class action settlement, keep an eye on your mailbox because checks are on their way!

The class action settlement resolves allegations that a variety of Nutro Ultra dog food products were mislabeled with a Bacillus guarantee.

Lead plaintiff Damian Monteleone claimed that despite the label, the dog food and dog treats were incapable for forming live Bacillus and therefore the guarantee was false and misleading to consumers.

The Nutro Company and Mars Inc. agreed to settle the class action lawsuit, but did not admit to any wrongdoing.

Those who submitted a claim for the class action settlement could choose either a cash payment, gift certificate, or a donation made to an animal charity.

Class Members included all U.S. residents (except those within the state of California) who purchased either Nutro Ultra brand dog food or dog treats sometime between Apr. 1, 2007 and June 30, 2011 that contained the “Guaranteed Analysis” regarding the amount of Bacillus Species they contained.

The deadline to file a claim for the Nutro class action settlement passed on Oct. 18, 2015.
