Since the 1990s, K-Cups have been available for offices in the US, but it has been nearly two decades since they became a countertop staple. The high cost and mediocre taste of the beverages they result in make them unattractive to other consumers.

There are stacks of small plasticpods that have been accumulating in landfills over the years. The reason for a class-action lawsuit brought against the company was related to that. How to find out if a piece of that is yours and how to claim your money are included in this guide.

Why is there a class-action lawsuit against Keurig?

According to the original complaint, a group of consumers claim that Keurig engaged in unfair and deceptive business practices when they advertised and labeled their K-Cups as being recycled.

Most municipal recycling facilities don't have the capacity to handle small items, so they end up in the trash. A $10 million settlement was agreed to by the company in February.

Who is eligible to claim money from the settlement?

If you purchased a K-Cup single-serving coffee Pod that was labeled as "recyclable" between June 8, 2016 and August 8, 2022, you are a part of the class.
