Keurig class action claims company shortens warranty period

Keurig class action lawsuit overview:

• Who: A group of consumers filed a class action lawsuit against Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. and Keurig Green Mountain Inc.
• Why: The group argues Keurig shortened the warranty period on its coffee makers by starting it on the date of purchase instead of the date of delivery, as required by California law.
• Where: The Keurig warranties class action lawsuit was filed in a California federal court.

Keurig Dr Pepper Inc. and Keurig Green Mountain Inc. have been shortchanging consumers by starting the warranty period on their coffee makers on the date of purchase instead of the date of delivery, a new class action lawsuit alleges. 

A group of consumers claims Keurig is depriving consumers of the warranty’s full benefit, especially for online shoppers who typically receive their goods after the date of purchase.

“This strategic decision short-changes consumers the full length and value of their warranties as permitted by law,” the Keurig class action says. 

The consumers want to represent a California class of those who purchased one or more Keurig products between July 1, 2023, and the date of the class action certification, where product(s) were delivered after the date of purchase.

Keurig warranties deprive consumers of full benefit of warranty, class action says

The consumers argue Keurig’s actions save the company the added time and expense required to properly track and administer warranties from the date of delivery.

“Furthermore, this decision creates a chilling effect which prevents consumers who would otherwise have valid warranty claims from pursuing them. As a result, Defendants benefit from fewer warranty claims,” the Keurig warranties class action says. 

The group claims Keurig is guilty of violating California’s Song Beverly Consumer Warranty Act and Unfair Competition Law.

The plaintiffs demand a jury trial and request declaratory and injunctive relief and an award of actual and punitive damages for themselves and all class members.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission fined Keurig $1.5 million last year and ordered the company not to file inaccurate information in its annual reports to the agency, after accusing Keurig of making misleading statements about the recyclability of its K-Cup coffee and tea pods.

The Keurig class action lawsuit is Itzhak, et al. v. Keurig Dr Pepper Inc., et al., Case No. 8:25-cv-00235, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.
