Same people complaining about FSA would jump on their high horse if they bought 500 rounds of ammo on the EE and only got 499. When I use the term FSA, I am talking about the people who NEVER bought any StarKist tuna, but will still sign up for this claim, because no proof is required. That's you. You, however aren't representative of the other holier than thou schmucks that have and will continue to post in this thread. I can't even imagine counting the number of rounds in a box of ammo And that is exactly what Starkist counted on. For 5 years. If you later found out that someone was ripping off members on the EE that you bought a box from, I bet you would go back and count those rounds. |

I'll sign up for them. I eat tuna (Starkist) all the time. I have cans of it stacked deep in my kitchen and on shelves in my basement. I noticed some years ago Starkist tuna looked like they started running it through a grinder.
I like to find store brands that looks like they can slabs of tuna instead of shredding it into little pieces. |

Fun with tuna: Take the label from a can of cheap cat food and put it on a StarKist tuna can. Then eat it in front of your friends.

I eat a lot of tuna, and starkist is the only kind I buy. That said I never noticed any being under filled, but fuck em, if they've been trying to rip me off I'll take my free tuna. (fuck the cash) That's because (according the the lawsuit) you were only shorted by fractions of a gram. It's hard to notice. |

I eat tuna almost daily along with my 4 kids. I go through tuna like no other. This saddens me. $50.00 in tuna doesn't replace the respect and loyalty I once had for this company. The emotional damage that has been thrusted upon me is like being stuck in the heart with a molten jagged blade. Now I'm not sure how to fill my tuna void.

Bumble Bee Brand. After all the smoke clears, cash claimants are going to get $1.95 and voucher claimants will get a single dollar off coupon. Lawyers are the only "winners" in these things. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
It's not free money if you truly are a Starkist tuna customer. According to the lawsuit, independent testing showed that Starkist underfilled the 5-ounce containers by as much as 17.3% below the Federally mandated minimum. That means that for every 6 cans you bought, you got less than 5 cans worth of tuna. If you eat a lot of tuna (bodybuilders go through a lot, people tend to put it in CARE packages for deployed troops due to its long shelf life, preppers keep a lot for the same reason), it's very feasible that you handed over $25-50 of your money to Starkist during a five year period and didn't get the product for which you paid. Looking at Wal-Mart's web site, they list 10-count packages of 5-oz Chunk Light Tuna in water, the least expensive of the products listed in the lawsuit, as costing $7.47. Disregarding tax or the likelihood that prices are higher now than they were in 2009, that's still about 70 cans for $50, or about 14 cans a year for the five year period the suit covers, or about 1 can a month. I know I buy at least 2-4 cans a month. Let's assume I buy 1 can a week, which makes just enough tuna salad for my wife, kids, and I to each have one sandwich each week. Over a five year period, that's 260 cans, or 26 of those 10-packs, which comes out to $194.22 spent on tuna. If those cans are all 17.3% underfilled, instead of getting 1300 ounces of tuna, I would have only received 1075 ounces, or 215 cans worth. Those 45 cans worth of unreceived tuna would be worth $33.62, at $7.47/10. The extra $16.38 would cover sales taxes I spent (9.75% here), the cost of going back to the store to redeem the vouchers, and some punitive damages to inspire Starkist not to do it again. If you go through more than one can a week, or buy the more expensive Albacore, the value of the vouchers versus the money spent during the period of the lawsuit is going to much closer to being equal, or even going to the side of the customer still losing money. It isn't free money, it's getting back money their customers gave them while being deceived. Quote HistoryQuoted:

The FSA came right out of the wood work on this one. I visited the comments on a few facebook news pages and people are looking at this saying they don't even eat tuna but just want the free money. Some jack hole is saying to spread the word to others for "free money". This shit is sad.

They screwed up, got caught, and are making amends. I just don't feel the need to take advantage of it when I didn't have a problem with what I bought from them and if I did I had option to buy something else. I just don't get the same "Fuck you, pay me!" attitude about it like some others. $50 in free tuna would be nice but I don't feel the need to make myself part of a lawsuit to get it. I am actually kind of surprised at how much they are giving out for this though. Usually class action suits seem to pay people out a fraction of what they were likely taken for. I doubt I was shorted $50 worth of tuna though and there were a couple of years in that time frame where I ate lot of tuna. |

You people are doing this all wrong. A set amount of money has been put aside. It will be divided among however many people who file. The more who file the lower the individual checks/coupons sent out. The more of the holier than thous who were defrauded file, the FSA who are allergic to tuna are more likely to get SQUAT. |

I wonder how many FSA assholes will sign up for a claim, even if they have never bought a single can of Starkist in their lives - so they can get their "free" $25. I'm not sure I know anyone that hasn't bought Starkist Tuna, FSA or not. That is WalMarts main brand in the canned meat section. One of my favorite dishes is tuna noodle casserole. I'll bet in that number of years I've had it more than thirty times, at two cans per meal. I signed up, and asked for the fifty bucks in tuna. I'll eat it. |

0.22 ounces is actually ~6 grams so that is 2x my stated "few grams" !! Still not Quote HistoryQuoted:

Come on now. Missing a few grams of tuna is nothing like someone dropping toxic waste in your back yard. Some of us just choose what we get worked up over and missing a few grams of tuna isn't worth it. Would you seriously go through the trouble of weighing your can of tuna? And if you did and found it to be consistently light would you sue? I wouldn't. So why should I join a class action lawsuit? Because it is easy and some anally retentive "You owe me 2 grams!" guy and a bunch of attorneys that want to make a bunch of money decided to sue? If for some reason I did feel the need to weigh my tuna and found out I was getting less than I expected I would just switch brands. Dump some toxic waste in my backyard and damn right I will fight you tooth and nail. It's more like "You owe me 0.22 ounces, for this can of Solid White Alabacore Tuna in Water". Seriously. Straight from the lawsuit. 0.22 ounces is actually ~6 grams so that is 2x my stated "few grams" !! Still not Yeah, the lawsuit is legit. They shorted people, dead to rights. I just think it's funny, because I have to wonder who the hell opens a can of tuna, weighs it, and calls an attorney. I mean seriously, who the fuck does this?

Thanks OP.
We have bought only solid white in water of any brand for years and have found Safeway and Costco to be consistently good with Costco being top notch. Every now and then I'd try another can of Star-Kist and be disappointed in the shavings they call solid. The claim says: "Be aware that these claim amounts may be subject to pro rata dilution if the total amount of claims exceeds the available settlement funds." They will probably get hammered with claims as no proof is needed and we will get $4.18 pro rated.

Corps do this kind of shit all the time in the hope no one notices.
Sometimes for just short runs....sometimes it's a long term plan. Anything to increase the bottom line.
Make em pay for their deception. I buy Starkist all the time and I did notice there was just a bit less in the can not long after the economy hit the skids and many food companies were downsizing the amount of what they were selling instead of adjusting the price and/or reducing the size of the package...etc. |

More than likely got caught by some states weights and measures department and some sheisty lawyer caught wind of it. |

Even with having to provide proof my $25 Lawn Mower class action settlement claim was diluted down to like $14.00. The lawyers are the only ones who come out on the winning end in these class action lawsuits. I filed a claim for the $50 free tuna coupon. I figure I might actually have a chance at getting it. No way will the $25 cash ever pay out anything meaningful. |

I bought enough of their stuff that 50 bucks seems fair.

I bet they pro-rata the coupons too. |

Nice
I am sitting on a little less than a hundred of those dates, and yes, they seemed light. The contents are loose and floating a bit, not packed like they were. I just thought it was just more of the downsizing added/diminished to/with the smaller cans they went to. |
