Consumers qualified to participate in the settlement can obtain a cash boost.

Those who can show evidence of their evidence purchases may receive a greater share of the settlement.

If they object to the settlement or want to exclude themselves, the deadline for doing so is May 12, 2025.
A final hearing is scheduled to be held on June 30, 2025, in the American District Court of the Northern Region of Illinois.
