Overview of the Settlement Concerning Krud Kutter Products
This notice is aimed at individuals who have purchased Krud Kutter brand products labeled as "Non-Toxic" and "Earth Friendly." If this applies to you, read on to understand your rights and potential claims arising from a recent class action lawsuit.
Who Is Eligible for the Settlement?
You are eligible to be a member of the Settlement Class if you bought any Krud Kutter products within the specified timeframe. These products include a variety of cleaners and stain removers that were marketed with claims of being safe for the environment and non-toxic. Such claims appeal to consumers' desire for safer, eco-friendly cleaning solutions.
Details of the Class Products
The products in question span fifteen different items, including but not limited to:
(1) Krud Kutter Adhesive Remover;

(3) Krud Kutter Original Cleaner & Degreaser;
(4) Krud Kutter Sports Cleaner/Stain Remover;
(5) Krud Kutter Multi-Purpose House Wash; and several others. If you purchased any of these during the relevant period, you might qualify for a cash settlement. The lawsuit claims the products didn’t uphold the greenwashing claims made by the company.
What Are the Settlement Terms?
The settlement outlines that eligible Class Members who submit valid claims could receive a cash award of one dollar ($1) per product purchased, subject to certain conditions. If no proof of purchase is provided, there’s a limit on the number of products eligible for claims. Furthermore, the company has committed to revising its labeling to remove potentially misleading claims.
Distribution Process of Claims
It’s important to note that if total claims exceed the settlement fund, individual claim amounts might be adjusted on a pro rata basis. Each claimant will be capped at receiving no more than two dollars ($2.00) per product. Settlements funds not claimed within a specified period will be redirected for other purposes.
