If You Bought Starkist Tuna Recently, They May Owe You $25

Thanks to a recently settled lawsuit, you can now have your tuna sandwich and eat it, too. Consumerist reports that a class action lawsuit against Starkist might put some extra money in your pocket, or tuna cans in your pantry.

A consumer sued Starkist claiming that the company under-filled its five-ounce cans of tuna, which is against state and federal law. Starkist denies the claim and insists it did nothing wrong, but agreed to settle with the plaintiff, and that means you win in the end.

If you bought five-ounce cans of chunk light tuna in water or oil, or solid white tuna in water or oil, between February 19, 2009 and October 31, 2014, you might be eligible for $25 or $50 in vouchers for Starkist products. Overall, Starkist will pay up to $8 million in cash and $4 million in vouchers, so your full payout might be less if too many people sign up.
