$10 Million K-Cups Settlement, Check If You Are Eligible and File a Claim

$10 Million K-Cups Settlement

Keurig has agreed to pay a $10 million settlement over claims that it misled consumers about its K-Cups being recyclable.

Plaintiffs allege that the packaging and advertising for these products misled consumers to believe that the Products were widely recyclable. Keurig denies all the Plaintiffs’ allegations, but is entering into this Settlement to avoid burdensome and costly litigation.

This $10 million settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing. The court has not decided who is right and who is wrong.

Who Can File a Claim?

You are a member of the Class if you purchased K Cup single serving coffee pods labeled as recyclable in the United States for personal, family or household purposes during the time period from June 8, 2016, through August 8, 2022.

Keurig employees and affiliates, and those who purchased these for the purpose of resale, are excluded from the settlement.

Payout Details

Keurig will pay a total of $10 million in cash for payment of approved claims, certain notice and administrative costs, incentive awards to the named Plaintiffs, and attorneys’ fees and costs.
