$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.

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

Oh nevermind. I missed the “not” lol.
Buying K-Cups for years, yet no notice of being a class member so far. The claims page linked states it is necessary. I suggest you change the article to reflect this, unless you know a workaround.
“If you did not receive a Class Notice, you have not been assigned a Class Member ID. A Class Member ID is not required to submit a claim. “
