CNN reports that people who bought StarKist tuna between February 19, 2009 through October 31, 2014 can take home $25 in cash or $50 of tuna due to a class action lawsuit settlement claiming that StarKist put less tuna in their cans than advertised. Federal law requires 5 ounce cans to contain between 2.84-ounces and 3.23-ounces of tuna, depending on the type. The plaintiff, Patrick Hendricks, had independent testing done on the cans, determining that they had as much as 17.3 percent less tuna than the federally mandated minimum. StarKist must pay up to $8 million in cash and $4 million in food vouchers as part of the settlement in United States District Court in Northern California. StarKist did not admit fault but agreed to a settlement in which it will pay $8 million in cash and $4 million in vouchers to purchase StarKist tuna. People can sign up for the settlement at the lawsuit website. They don't need a receipt, but they will need to swear that they purchased the tuna.
