What is this lawsuit about?
The lawsuit alleges that Defendant violated certain laws in labeling certain breakfast cereals with claims that made the products seem healthy, when Plaintiffs allege they were in fact unhealthy due to their added sugar content. Defendant denies any wrongdoing of any kind, and maintains that the statements on its cereal labels are true and that its cereals are nutrient-dense, healthy foods.

How do I know if I am part of the Settlement?
The Settlement Class includes all persons in the United States who, between August 29, 2012 and November 2, 2020 (the "Class Period"), purchased in the United States, for household use and not for resale or distribution, one of the Class Products. The Class Products include certain varieties and sizes of Post Raisin Bran, Post Bran Flakes, Post Selects – Blueberry Morning, Great Grains, Honey Bunches of Oats, Honey Bunches of Granola, Shredded Wheat, Alpha Bits, Golden Crisp, Honeycomb, and Waffle Crisp. The specific products included in the Settlement are identified in the Appendix.

What can I get from the Settlement?
Class Members who timely submit a valid approved claim are entitled to compensation. Each timely, valid claimant will receive a payment based on the type and estimated amount of Class Products purchased during the Class Period. Based on the estimated number of claims that will be made, the estimated average payment is approximately $14.28. However, the actual amount any single person will receive depends on both the number of claims made, and each claimant's purchase history, and may be significantly more or less than $14.28.

• Claim Forms must be submitted either online or by mail to the following address: PO Box 671, Baton Rouge, LA 70821. Claims must be submitted or postmarked by May 19, 2021.
• Class Members who submit claims without proof of purchase will be subject to per-product caps based on an average use of four boxes per month.
• Claims submitted with proof of purchase will not be capped.
• Class Members have the option of receiving their payout via PayPal, Venmo, or a prepaid MasterCard.

How will the lawyers be paid?
Class Counsel will file a motion on or before April 14, 2021 seeking an award of up to one-third of the Settlement Fund in fees, and reimbursement of case expenses totaling approximately $967,607, plus any expenses incurred after preliminary approval. Class Counsel will also seek on behalf of the Class Representatives service awards of $7,500 each for Debbie Krommenhock and Stephen Hadley. The Court will determine the amount of fees, expenses, and service awards that will be paid from the Settlement Fund.
