What happened

A proposed class action against Cavendish Farms and other frozen potato producers, apparently alleging antitrust violations in the market for frozen potato products such as frozen french fries. The plaintiff appears to allege that the defendants engaged in anticompetitive conduct that harmed purchasers. These are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts and not yet a settlement.

Do you qualify?

No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.

How to file

There is no claim to file yet. If this case reaches a settlement, a claim process will open — usually with an official settlement website and a filing deadline.
