Starkist is the only brand of tuna I buy. I guess an under filled can is better than the putrid cans of Chicken of the Sea I once bought. Thanks OP.

I'm not knocking the OP or anyone else in the thread. On the contrary, thanks for pointing out the lawsuit.
I've bought Starkist Tuna within the timeframe, but am not much on jumping in on free money just because some lawyer somewhere found a way to make a buck. I'm sure I could type out quite a rant, but figure that just makes me come across as holier than thou. Besides, without lawsuits like this companies would be less likely to adopt ethical business practices. For those of you who are interested in the claimed facts behind the free $25, here's a link: https://www.truthinadvertising.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Hendricks-v.-Starkist-Co..pdf There seems to be pretty good justification for jumping on the money if you so choose. I think I will probably not dilute the honey pot. ETA: If the claims are true and Starkist was intentionally committing fraud, I wonder why they kept underfilling cans a year and a half after the lawsuit was filed. |

Overly letigious society? Nah...
I've bought plenty of their tuna and qualify for the deal, but....this is part of what's wrong with this country. I could really use some free food though.... Nope, can't bring myself to do it. SHAME ON YOU TUNA THIEVES! PEOPLE WHO BUY THEIR TUNA NOW, ARE PAYING FOR YOUR FREE TUNA! WAY TO STICK IT TO THE MAN, WHO WILL ONLY STICK IT TO THE UNKNOWING CONSUMER. |

I think I will probably not dilute the honey pot. ETA: If the claims are true and Starkist was intentionally committing fraud, I wonder why they kept underfilling cans a year and a half after the lawsuit was filed. 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. |

My family eats quite a bit of tuna, and I used to buy Starfish exclusively. Frankly I still do, unless I'm at Costco then I get Kirkland. That sucks they under packed it by that much.

It seems shitty to jump on the litigation train when I had no initial objection just for some free tuna while costing them money and enriching attorneys. If I had noticed they were under filling their cans I wouldn't sue. I would just switch brands. |

I don't even know for sure if I bought Starkist tuna during that time, and if I did, I sure as hell can't remember ever being shorted product. I eat a lot of tuna, and it's something I like to think I'd notice.
So...I'll pass. It wouldn't feel right to me. |

Arf GD logic:

Arfcom says you are no better than a welfare leech for recovering your rightfully owed damages This place really is fucked. Some of you people are just fucking dumb. Or trolls.

I actually have no doubt that I've purchased Starkist tuna in that time period (I have a lot of it in my emergency stash, and regularly update) - but I also don't feel comfortable being part of this claim. But, I have no problem with people who choose to take advantage of this, IF they actually qualify. I just don't want to personally. |

And, yet, they'll collectively boycott Cheaper Than Dirt for charging a higher-than-MSRP price for some ammo, even though CTD told prospective customers exactly how much more than MSRP they'd pay before they even clicked on "Add to Cart." CTD didn't deceive their customers, they just charged a higher-than-MSRP price for a product. Starkist actively fucked countless customers without even having the decency to let them know they were going in dry. So, CTD gets a boycott, while accepting repayment from Starkist is equated to being a welfare leech. It's simple, if you're not a Starkist customer, don't request a check or voucher. If you are/were, but don't give a shit that they took your money without giving you the product you thought you were getting, don't request a check or voucher. But, don't assume, or imply, that accepting a voucher or check automatically means the recipient is a welfare leech. The only people requesting a voucher or check who are leeches are the ones who didn't buy any of the named products during the time in the suit. I wonder how many of the "I'm not FSA" types also believe that VA service-connected disability compensation for veterans is "conservative/white people welfare." |
