The deadline to file for part of a $10 million settlement related to recyclable Keurig K-Cups is nearing.

The settlement comes after an agreement over the labeling and advertising of K-Cups, the single serving coffee pods that were labeled as recyclable. The plaintiffs alleged consumers were misled to believe the products were widely recyclable though they “usually still end up in landfills,” the 2018 class action suit claimed.

Defendant Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. has denied all the plaintiffs’ allegations and agreed to the settlement to “avoid burdensome and costly litigation.” As part of the settlement parent company, Keurig Dr Pepper agreed to add larger-print language to packaging indicating buyers should “”Check Locally – Not Recycled in Many Communities.”

The deadline to file a claim is Jan. 9.

Who is eligible?

If you purchased K-Cup single-serve coffee pods labeled as recyclable from June 8, 2016 to Aug. 8, 2022 you could be eligible. No proof of purchase is necessary though it will impact the amount you could receive.

With proof of purchase, you can request a refund of $3.50 per 100 pods purchased with a minimum payment of $6 and a maximum of $36. Without proof of purchase, you can claim up to $5 per household.
