Kellogg's Rice Krispies & Cocoa Krispies Class Action Suit

If you purchased Kellogg's Rice Krispies or Cocoa Krispies sometime between June 1, 2009 to March 1, 2010 you could file for a refund ($15 maximum) in a class action lawsuit here. If you choose not to file, it's a win-win situation because any remaining money will be donated to charity.


"If you purchased Kellogg's Rice Krispies Cereal or Cocoa Krispies Cereal between June 1, 2009 and March 1, 2010, you may be entitled to a cash refund from a class action settlement.

If you do not make a claim, then any money that is left over will be donated to one or more charities. Class Members may seek reimbursement of $5 per box of Rice Krispies or Cocoa Krispies purchased, with a maximum recovery of $15 for the purchase of up to three boxes.

The settlement resolves a lawsuit over whether Kellogg Company falsely advertised that Rice Krispies cereal and Cocoa Krispies cereal supported a person's immunity system despite not having competent clinical evidence to support the claim. Kellogg stands by its advertising and denies it did anything wrong. The Court did not decide who was right.

Instead, both sides agreed to a settlement. By agreeing to a settlement, the Parties avoid the costs and risk of a trial and the Class will get compensation. The Class Representatives and their attorneys believe that the settlement is in the best interests of the Class Members."
