You may not be aware of it, but you could be owed money right now. Yes, you read that correctly. Thanks to three major class action settlements, you could have some extra cash coming your way. So, before you toss out that stack of junk mail, take a closer look. You might just find a check waiting for you from Walgreens, Kia, or Beyond Meat.
Let’s start with Walgreens. The popular drugstore chain recently settled a class action lawsuit for $5.5 million. The lawsuit alleged that Walgreens overcharged customers for certain prescription drugs covered by Medicare Part D. If you or a loved one have purchased these drugs from Walgreens between January 1, 2011 and January 28, 2020, you could be eligible for a refund.
But that’s not all. Kia Motors America has also reached a settlement in a class action lawsuit. The lawsuit claimed that certain Kia vehicles were equipped with defective engines that could cause sudden and unexpected engine failure. If you own or lease a 2011-2019 Kia Optima, 2012-2019 Kia Sorento, or 2011-2019 Kia Sportage, you could receive compensation for repairs, rental car expenses, and other related costs.
And last but certainly not least, Beyond Meat has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit for $9.75 million. The lawsuit alleged that the popular plant-based meat company misled consumers by labeling their products as “meat-free” and “plant-based” when they actually contained small amounts of animal byproducts. If you purchased Beyond Meat products between August 2014 and January 2020, you could be eligible for a cash payment.
Now, you might be thinking, “I don’t have time for this. It’s probably just a few dollars anyway.” But think about it, that “few dollars” could add up to a significant amount. And let’s be honest, who couldn’t use some extra cash right now? Plus, it’s your money and you deserve to get it back.
So, how do you check if you’re owed money from these settlements? It’s simple. Just visit the respective settlement websites for Walgreens, Kia, and Beyond Meat and enter your information. If you’re eligible, you’ll be able to submit a claim and receive your refund.
But don’t wait too long. The deadlines to submit a claim for these settlements are approaching fast. For Walgreens, the deadline is July 31, 2020. For Kia, it’s June 8, 2020. And for Beyond Meat, it’s May 5, 2020. So, make sure to act quickly and don’t miss out on your chance to get some extra cash.
Now, you might be wondering, “Why should I bother with all of this?” Well, besides the obvious reason of getting your money back, participating in these class action settlements also sends a message to these companies. It shows that consumers will not tolerate being misled or overcharged. By taking action, you are not only benefiting yourself, but also holding these companies accountable for their actions.
In addition, these settlements serve as a reminder to always be aware of your consumer rights. It’s important to read the fine print and question any suspicious charges or claims. And if you do come across a potential class action lawsuit, don’t ignore it. Take the time to research and see if you could be eligible for compensation.
