Top Class Actions viewers are reporting they are starting to receive checks in the mail from the Blue Buffalo pet food class action settlement.
The first checks were reported on Thursday, Jan. 11. If you submitted a timely and valid claim for the Blue Buffalo class action settlement, keep an eye on your mailbox because you may soon be getting PAID!
One viewer reported on the Top Class Actions Facebook page receiving an impressive $2,173.90 check from the Blue Buffalo settlement:
Blue Buffalo Company Ltd., a natural pet food company, allegedly misled consumers by including a “True Blue Promise” 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 “True Blue Promise” label.
The plaintiffs claim they paid a premium for products with the Blue Buffalo “True Blue Promise” 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.
