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 [cnn.com] 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 [tunalawsuit.com], 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 [tunalawsuit.com] 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 [tunalawsuit.com]. They don't need a receipt, but they will need to swear that they purchased the tuna.
