5 oz. Solid White in Oil
NOTE: StarKist 5 oz. Chunk White in Water is not included in the class action settlement.
According to the StarKist tuna class action lawsuit, which was filed in February 2013 by plaintiff Patrick Hendricks, federal law requires 5-ounce cans to contain an average of 2.84 to 3.23 ounces of tuna. However, Hendricks alleges that 5-ounce cans of StarKist tuna only contain an average of 2.81 to 3.11 ounces of tuna.
StarKist Co. denies the allegations but has agreed to settle to avoid the expense and risk associated to a trial.

when will we get our vouchers?
Settlement rebate checks and vouchers usually take a while. Usually it’s a few months and even over a year in some cases.
I have not gotten my tuna yet??
I don’t think they’ve mailed out checks yet.
There is nothing like a good tuna sandwich anytime.
I guess you’re going for the $50 voucher 🙂
