Open Class Action Settlements

How to use this list

“No proof of purchase” means what it says

Most consumer settlements know perfectly well that nobody keeps a receipt for a $6 tube of toothpaste. So they include a tier you can claim by signing a statement that you bought the product, with no documentation attached. You are signing under penalty of perjury, so only claim what you actually bought — but if you did buy it, you have every right to file. A handful of settlements still ask for a Claimant ID or PIN from a mailed notice; where that is the case, the settlement’s own page says so rather than promising you a free claim.

Deadlines are earlier than they look

A claim that has to be printed and posted needs to be in the mail well before the stated date, so we stop listing a settlement roughly a week before its deadline rather than letting you start something you cannot finish in time. If a settlement is on this page, there is genuinely still time to file it. Sort by deadline to deal with the ones closing soonest first.

What you will actually be paid

The headline number attached to a settlement is the size of the whole fund, not your share of it. Most funds are divided pro rata among everyone who files a valid claim, so the maximum payout listed here is a ceiling, not a promise — and the more people who file, the smaller each share becomes. Individual consumer payouts are often somewhere between $5 and $50. That is still real money for two minutes of typing, and filing several adds up, but it is worth knowing before you start.

Filing is free, and you file it yourself

Every settlement here links to the official administrator’s claim site, and filing directly with them never costs anything. Class Action Buddy is a self-service tool: it stores your details once and fills the official forms for you so you are not retyping your address for the tenth time. It is not a law firm, it does not give legal advice, and it does not file on your behalf — you review and submit every claim yourself. If you would rather do the whole thing on the administrator’s site, the link is right there on each settlement page.
