Family Dollar ground coffee class action settlement

Family Dollar agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that its Chestnut Hill coffee products were deceptively marketed as able to brew a higher number of cups than was possible with the amount of coffee in each package.

The Family Dollar Store settlement benefits consumers who purchased any Family Dollar proprietary brand ground coffee products, including Chestnut Hill coffee products, between Jan. 1, 2019, and April 15, 2025.

According to the class action lawsuit, the amount of Family Dollar ground coffee in each package allegedly did not contain enough grounds to brew the number of cups advertised.

Family Dollar is a discount retailer that sells a variety of products, including groceries, household supplies and personal care products.

Family Dollar hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve the false advertising class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the Family Dollar Store settlement, class members can receive a voucher for one 9.6-ounce container of Chestnut Hill ground coffee. No proof of purchase is required to claim this benefit. If a large number of claims are filed, the settlement administrator may reduce the value of each voucher on a pro rata basis.

The settlement also requires Family Dollar to work with its manufacturer to change the labeling on its coffee products. The company will either remove the claims about how many cups can be brewed per package or will revise the language to reflect verified testing results from a third-party laboratory.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is July 14, 2025.

The final approval hearing for the Family Dollar ground coffee settlement is scheduled for July 21, 2025.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by July 21, 2025.
