How to Claim False Advertising & Labeling Settlements

Every false advertising & labeling settlement below shows whether its official evidence is accepted, linked, or under review — so you can see who may qualify, the deadline, and whether you need proof, then file through the official form. Filing a real claim is always free.

The process

How to claim, step by step

  1. 1 Check whether you're covered. Each False Advertising & Labeling settlement below lists who qualifies — the company, the time period, and the product or service. Match it against your own records before you file.
  2. 2 Open the official claim form. Use only the official link on the settlement's own page here — never a look-alike site, and never one that asks you to pay to claim.
  3. 3 Gather what the form asks for. Some False Advertising & Labeling claims need nothing but your contact details; others ask for a receipt, an account number, or the Claim ID from your mailed notice. Each record shows whether proof is required.
  4. 4 File before the deadline. Late claims are rejected — the claim deadline for each settlement is listed below, so file the moment you confirm you qualify.
  5. 5 Save your confirmation and watch for payment. Keep the confirmation number after you submit, then watch for a check or electronic payment once the administrator finishes reviewing claims.
