What happened
Defendants allegedly participated in an unlawful conspiracy from June 2011 to July 2015 to raise, fix, maintain, or stabilize the price of packaged tuna products at artificially high levels in violation of antitrust and unfair competition laws. StarKist, DWI, and the Lion Companies agreed to settlements to avoid further litigation and the risks of adverse jury verdicts, though they deny many allegations and have asserted defenses.

Common questions
- How much does the Tuna End Purchaser Class Action Settlement pay?
- The total settlement fund is $152.2M. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.
- What is the claim deadline for the Tuna End Purchaser Class Action Settlement?
- This settlement is closed to new claims — the deadline was December 31, 2024. Once a claim deadline passes you generally forfeit your share, even if you qualified.
- Is the Tuna End Purchaser Class Action Settlement notice real, or a scam?
- JND Legal Administration is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at tunaendpurchasersettlement.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
- When will payments from the Tuna End Purchaser Class Action Settlement be sent?
- Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. The final approval hearing for this case is set for November 22, 2024; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
