Wahlburgers pickles reach $2 million class action settlement

Consumers who bought Wahlburgers pickles could receive a cash payment from a $2 million settlement, with no proof of purchase required for up to six purchases. Read more below!

The settlement provides benefits to consumers who purchased Wahlburgers pickles, including Fresh Dill Spears, Fresh Dill Chips and Fresh Dill Chips Hot, between April 1, 2021, and March 31, 2023.

According to the class action lawsuit, the claims “fresh,” “all natural,” and “no preservatives” on Wahlburgers pickles were misleading because the products contained sodium benzoate.

Wahlburgers denies any wrongdoing and liability to the plaintiffs and the settlement class, but has agreed to pay $2 million to settle the class action.

Under the terms of the Wahlburgers settlement, class members can receive $2 per product purchased without a receipt and can claim up to six products for a maximum of $12. Class members with a receipt can claim as many products as they can prove and receive full reimbursement for those products.

To receive Wahlburgers settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by July 29, 2024.

The deadline for exclusions or objections is September 4, 2024.

The final hearing to approve the settlement is scheduled for September 25, 2024.

Consumers who purchased Wahlburgers pickles between April 1, 2021 and March 31, 2023, including Fresh Dill Spears, Fresh Dill Chips and Fresh Dill Chips Hot
