Walmart weighted good settlement: understanding who is eligible for a claim
The Walmart weighted goods settlement, stemming from a class-action lawsuit filed in 2022, addresses allegations that Walmart overcharged customers for certain weighted grocery items and bagged produce. The lawsuit, titled *Mario Ramirez et al. v. Walmart Inc.*, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. Eligible claimants include individuals who purchased weighted goods, such as meat, seafood, and bagged citrus, from Walmart stores or online between October 19, 2018, and January 19, 2024. These items were allegedly sold at higher prices due to discrepancies between the advertised weight and the actual weight of the products.
To qualify for compensation, claimants must provide proof of purchase, such as receipts or credit card statements, demonstrating transactions for the specified items during the eligibility period. Walmart has agreed to a $45 million settlement, which will be distributed among eligible claimants after administrative costs and legal fees. Claims can be submitted online through the settlement website, *WalmartWeightedGoodsSettlement.com*, or by mail. The deadline for claim submissions is June 5, 2024. Customers who lack proof of purchase may still file a claim but will receive a reduced payment compared to those who provide documentation.
