Tyson Chicken Class Action Settlement ($10-$50 for consumers) (food)

[GloryB]

Tyson Foods, Inc., Consumer Litigation Website

If you purchased Tyson-branded chicken products labeled "Raised Without Antibiotics" or "Raised Without Antibiotics That Impact Antibiotic Resistance in Humans" between June 19, 2007 and April 30, 2009, you may be part of a class action settlement. As part of the settlement, you may be able to file a claim for cash or a coupon. In 2007 and 2008, Tyson sold chicken products with a label stating either "Raised Without Antibiotics" or "Raised Without Antibiotics That Impact Antibiotic Resistance in Humans." Plaintiffs say that Tyson's label was misleading. Tyson denies Plaintiffs' allegations and contends that its conduct was lawful.

$50 if you have your coupon(s)
$10 if you don't

Thanks, Glory

I'm not trying a start a political thing since I'm really not all that enthralled with any politicians these days.....but here's a little antidote of sorts.

When Bill Clinton was in office I worked for the Navy. Many of them were really disgruntled with Bill. So, in knowing Tyson was one of the big companies who originally financially kicked off his political career (he helped them with road tag tax issues later), lots of Navy families boycotted Tyson. To this day, I've never bought a Tyson product. So, no $$ for me.

I had no idea about the Bill Clinton/ Tyson thing. Good info, GloryB.

Thanks for the link for the rebate. I had no idea this was going on and I buy their chicken all the time at Sam's Club.

Thanks for the info, Glory. I've bought Tyson chicken regularly but I wont be buying it any longer.

I got a $12 refund for an Airborne Litigation back in 2008. They were charged with false advertising. I notice they are still on the market though (and still giving freebies).
