How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- The restitution pool is $30,000 total, split proportionally among all valid claims — the more people who file, the smaller each individual share.
- Only Arizona consumers who purchased the specific transparent blue or clear Hefty "Recycling" bags are covered; other Hefty products are not part of this settlement.
- File through the official Arizona AG site (www.azag.gov/consumer) only — the AG does not have a dedicated settlement portal, so be wary of third-party claim sites claiming to handle this.
- October 1, 2026 is a hard cutoff — late complaints will not qualify.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
