Hello, dear readers!
The TGI Fridays Class Action Lawsuit has reached a settlement, and claims are now being accepted. Let's dive into the details so you'll know everything there is to know about this settlement.
What's the TGI Fridays Class Action About?
The TGI Fridays class action settlement is a hot topic involving a well-known food chain. The lawsuit pertains to certain TGI Fridays branded products, specifically TGI Fridays Mozzarella Sticks Corn Snacks.
The original lawsuit alleges that these products were falsely advertised as containing mozzarella cheese while they contained cheddar cheese. This led to false advertising claims and violated various licensing, promotion, and marketing laws.
Interestingly, the Court removed TGI Fridays as a defendant, placing the responsibility on the manufacturer, Inventure Foods. The argument was that TGI Fridays merely licensed its name, while Inventure Foods was responsible for the alleged false advertising.
How Do I Know If I Qualify?
You may be wondering if you are eligible for this settlement. To qualify, you must have purchased certain TGI FRIDAYS® Brand Shelf-Stable Bagged Snack Food Products anytime between January 1, 2017, and July 31, 2022. The products include a variety of TGI Fridays Mozzarella Sticks Snacks.
How Much Can I Get Paid?
The settlement will make cash payments of $6.00 for those who qualify, with a maximum of one claim per household. Though this may not seem like a significant amount, justice being served in this matter is the key takeaway here.
Do I Need Proof to File a Claim?
Good news for those who don't save their receipts – no proof of purchase is required to file a claim in the TGI Fridays class action settlement. This makes the process more accessible to consumers who may have been affected.
How Do I File a Claim and Get Paid?

It's important to note that class actions can vary in the amount of time it takes to payout. If the TGI Fridays class action does not receive any appeals, the payout process can begin as soon as 90 days after the class action settlement receives final approval from the Court. However, if there are appeals, it may take longer.
