We have some good news. If you live in Arizona, California, Washington D.C., Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, West Virginia, or Wisconsin, and have purchased a milk product since 2003, you are entitled to a small settlement due to an antitrust lawsuit.
The Rundown
The antitrust lawsuit (which you can learn more about here), alleges a theory that many members of the tycoon dairy-producing industry (including Dairy Farmers of America Inc., Land O’Lakes, National Milk Producers Federation, and more) have been up to some sketchy business. The $52 million settlement accuses dairy producers of price-fixing milk products by limiting raw farm milk production by prematurely slaughtering dairy cows.
What Does This Mean for You?
If you live in one of those states and have purchased a milk product (including yogurt, cottage cheese, half & half, cream, cream cheese, or sour cream), you can file a claim for a refund. No proof of purchase is required.
All you need to do is visit this site and fill out the form and an estimated $10-20 will be sent to you. The deadline is January 31, 2017. It may not sound like much, but hey, it’s better than nothing.
