The class action administrators responsible for paying out and notifying class action members have estimated that Settlement Class Members will receive approximately $10.50 for every 200 cans purchased (this is a very approximate number of cans if you purchased packaged tuna every week during the Settlement Class Period between June 2011 and July 2015).If the total payment for any Settlement Class Member is less than $5.00, no payment will be made to the consumer. The value of the payment will remain in the Settlement Fund for further distribution amongst class action members who legitimately result in a $5.00 claim payout minimum.
