Blue Buffalo Company Ltd., a natural pet food company, allegedly misled consumers by including a โTrue Blue Promiseโ label indicating the products contain no poultry byproduct meals; no corn, wheat or soy; and no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.
According to several Blue Buffalo class action lawsuits, investigations indicated that these ingredients were present in products with the โTrue Blue Promiseโ label.
The plaintiffs claim they paid a premium for products with the Blue Buffalo โTrue Blue Promiseโ label because they believed they had higher-quality ingredients than other competing pet food products.
Thirteen separate Blue Buffalo class action lawsuits were consolidated in Missouri federal court in October 2014 as In re: Blue Buffalo Company Ltd., Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation.
Nestle Purina PetCare Co. also sued Blue Buffalo over the alleged pet food mislabeling.
Blue Buffalo reportedly blamed a former ingredient supplier for misconduct that resulted in the mislabeled products. The pet food company noted that it would pursue claims against the supplier but agreed to pay $32 million to settle the Blue Buffalo class action lawsuit and provide compensation to disgruntled customers.
The Blue Buffalo class action settlement was approved on June 16, 2016, but finalization was held up by appeals. On July 5, 2017, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the class action settlement was fair and allowed the deal to become final.
Class Members of the Blue Buffalo settlement included anyone who purchased Blue Buffalo products in the United States between May 7, 2008 and Dec. 18, 2015.
Under the terms of the pet food mislabeling class action settlement, Blue Buffalo offered to pay $5 for every $50 in Blue Buffalo products a Class Member purchased. Class Members with proof of purchase could claim up to $200 while Class Members without proof of purchase were limited to a payment of $10.
More than 105,000 claims have been approved and checks were reportedly mailed on Jan. 8, 2018.
The deadline to file a claim for the Blue Buffalo pet food class action settlement passed on April 14, 2016.

When this was going on I was dealing with my husband and his passing. Congratulations to everyone who benefited from this claim. Our fur babies are very important. Iโm happy that Blue Buffalo came through to help people out.
I received the envelope from Blue Buffalo Litigation and just left it on the kitchen counter for a few days unopened. When clearing out junk mail, I decided to open the envelope. Whoa! I nearly fell to the floor. $2,173.90 CHECK! I kept rereading the letter to make sure the check was legit. Thank you, Scott A. Kamber of KamberLaw LLC, you came through for our 4-legged family members affected. And Blue Buffalo needed to be held accountable.

Same here! Got $2173.90 in the mail. I almost fell over in disbelief! I was only expecting $200 based on my total purchases. I guess there werenโt as many members of the class action as expected and they had to do a pro rata on the settlement amount. What a great belated Christmas present!
Ive been using this food since my 11 Yonkers dog was a pup. I get all the alerts on food thru my email. NEVER HEARD OF BB lawsuit. I spend 100 per month for food for my dog. Petco is my supplierโฆ WHAT TO DO NOW?
