Overview Of The Proposed Settlement
A proposed settlement has been reached in a lawsuit involving Kellogg, the company that makes Frosted Mini-Wheats. The Lawsuit claimed that Kellogg falsely advertised that its Frosted Mini-Wheats cereal improved kids’ attentiveness, memory and other cognitive functions to a degree not supported by competent clinical evidence. 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.
What Are My Options?
Kellogg has agreed to create a fund to pay claims of $2.75 million. Any money left over will be donated to one or more charities. Kellogg also has agreed to distribute to charities that provide food to the indigent a total of $5.5 million worth of certain Kellogg branded food items. Under the settlement, Kellogg agreed to make certain changes to the Frosted Mini-Wheats marketing and labeling. Details are described in the Settlement Agreement, which is available on this website.
Cash payments will be made if the Court gives its final approval to the proposed settlement and after the final approval is no longer subject to appeal.
