I’ve been eating mostly chicken for 20 years. Yes I believe you owe me some money for all the chicken that I paid for. You hiking up the price didn’t help me. I think you owe me a refund. Quite a bit.Margo H...
Why don't I see Pennsylvania and Georgia listed? I'm sure we eat chicken.
Can persons residing in california, submit a claim. The reason being, my wife and I noticed how the price of chicken has increased over the years, and we shop at the military commissary; and were quite surprised at the prices increasing often.
can you claim from the uk ?
Unfortunately, no, lol. Here is an excerpt from USAToday:„To be eligible to receive money, you need to have purchased fresh or frozen raw chicken between January 2009 and Dec. 31, 2020, and submit a claim form at Overchargedforchicken.com. You also need to be a resident of one of 24 states or Washington D.C. (See list of states below.)”I suppose you could fib, but is it really worth it to try collecting the one or two dollar payout that claimants will receive sometime in 2023? And then there’s the exchange rate to convert to pounds …. hahaha
According to www.broilerchickenantitrustlitigation.com, case#16-cv-08637, the deadline to file a claim for this class action lawsuit was May 17, 2021. It also indicates that no additional claims will be accepted after that date. Therefore, I have my suspicions about the https://www.overchargedforchicken.com/ website and its legitimacy. The dates/actions listed do not correspond to the dates/actions on the original website. Why would there be two different websites regarding this lawsuit, both with differing information available? I'd be careful giving your information to that second website. Seems very sketchy to me.
