FAQs
1. Why Is This Settlement Happening?
The lawsuit claims that Beyond Meat overstated the protein content and quality of its products. Beyond Meat denies these allegations but has agreed to a settlement to avoid further litigation.
2. Do I Need Proof of Purchase?
No, proof of purchase is not required, but claims without proof are capped at $10 per household. Providing valid proof removes this limit.
3. When Will I Receive Payment?
Payments will be distributed after the Court’s final approval of the settlement, which may take time if there are appeals. Updates will be posted on the settlement website.
4. What Happens If I Do Nothing?
If you do nothing, you will not receive any payment. However, you will still be bound by the settlement terms and cannot sue Beyond Meat for related claims in the future.
