Proof Required?

StarKist and Lion Capital have agreed to pay $152.2 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging they conspired with other tuna companies to artificially raise and fix the prices of canned tuna. If you purchased canned tuna during the alleged conspiracy period, you may be entitled to compensation from this settlement. The lawsuit claimed that major tuna companies worked together to manipulate tuna prices, causing consumers to pay more than they should have for canned tuna products. This settlement resolves those allegations without the companies admitting wrongdoing.

How Much Can You Get?

The total settlement fund is $152.2 million, which will be distributed among eligible class members who submit valid claims.

Specific payout amounts per person are still being determined.
