What is this settlement about?

Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs allege that Defendants conspired to fix, raise, and maintain the prices that direct purchasers paid for Packaged Tuna and that, as a result, members of the Class paid more than they otherwise would have.  Defendants have denied all liability for this conduct and/or assert that their conduct was lawful or exempt from the antitrust laws, or that their conduct did not cause injury, among other defenses. The Court has not decided who is right.

Who is qualified in the Settlement?

You are a Settlement Class Member if you or your company directly purchased Packaged Tuna Products (excluding tuna salad kits and cups and salvage purchases) within the United States, its territories, and the District of Columbia from any Defendant at any time between June 1, 2011 and July 31, 2015.  Packaged Tuna Products are shelf-stable tuna sold for human consumption and packaged in either cans or pouches.
