THIS NOTICE IS DIRECTED TO
All persons in Canada who purchased Keurig® K-Cup Pods and/or Keurig® coffee machines or brewing systems sold in Canada from June 8, 2016 to present (“Settlement Class”).
NATURE OF THE CLASS ACTION
The plaintiff commenced a proposed class proceeding in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (the “Court”) alleging that the defendant sold Keurig® K-Cup single-serve coffee pods (“Pods”) and brewing machines in Canada beginning on June 8, 2016 that contained misleading representations as to the recyclability of the Pods. The defendant has denied all liability for this conduct and asserted that their conduct was lawful. The Court has not decided who is right. The plaintiff and defendant have reached a proposed settlement, subject to approval of the Court.
SETTLEMENT BENEFITS
If the proposed settlement is approved, the defendant will pay a total settlement amount of a CDN $1.85 million into a settlement fund.
