People will probably start selling old receipts on eBay for $0.45
Or you could be the law firm on the case and collect 522K in administrative costs and 750K in attorney fees.
thank you dans deals for putting a new spin on “cheap”
“You can claim up to 15 boxes with no proof of purchase required for a total of $7.50, though you must certify that you did purchase them.”
“The settlement resolves a class action lawsuit about allegations that Defendant packages its boxed candy products in oversized packaging with nonfunctional empty space. Defendant denies the allegations. The Court did not rule in favor of either side. The parties agreed to the settlement to avoid the expense and risks of continuing the lawsuit.”
What a country.
The best country
isnt that every bag of chips?
Chip companies argue that without the empty space the chips would get smashed. Candy companies can’t argue that.
Watch this video before you decide whether the lawsuit is justified, by the way.

Please note that unfortunately most of their products are NO LONGER CERTIFIED KOSHER. I am NOT saying don’t file for settlement as this goes back to 2013, but this should be listed in the post as most people don’t realize!
I’m pretty sure anyone with kids has bought this. What is the lawsuit for? (why)
The lawsuit is all over ‘air’. The issue is ‘nothing’. They are arguing about ‘space’… empty space to be exact. The claim is the boxes were bigger for appearances and had empty space.
We raised 3 daughters and now have 7 grandchildren (B”H) and never bought these candies. With regard to the argument about selling “empty space”, I once saw a tin can of “Genuine San Francisco Fog” for sale in San Francisco at Fisherman’s Wharf!
If the weight is disclosed, it shouldn’t matter how much empty room is in the box/packaging
I don’t think the average consumer knows how many jelly beans weigh 150 grams. Do you?
They just see this huge box and assume that’s the volume of candy they’re getting. Meanwhile the box is 50% empty.
There are legal issues with excess “slack fill”, especially when one can not actually see how much product is in the package. Appropriate “slack fill” is dependent on the product. Potato chips need more, hard candies need less. If the product is in a transparent package or has a large enough transparent window then manufacturers can get away with more “slack fill”.
The subjects of this lawsuit are generally hard candies, packaged in cardboard boxes, with no window, and the product takes up only about 50% (or less) of the package.
That’s a legal problem.
That was an easy $225. Sweet!
You have 30 emails/identities that each bought 15 boxes in the last 5 years?
Sounds about right. More troll lawyers trying to get rich off of successful companies by creating classes. A shame America hasn’t fixed the problems we have with torte reform. I may still file anyway, but it is really a lawyers dream. These are the ambulance chasers of the corporate world!
I literally bought HUNDREDS of boxes in that time frame (until about 2 years ago, when the kosher certification ended). Alas, no receipts for that amount.
Which is why, whenever possible, I request email receipts during in-store purchases.
I noticed that the cardboard box can be “…any flavor or VARIETY”.
Apparently, they’re giving 50¢ refunds for even the small 25¢ boxes.
I just purchased this product 2 months ago for a shabbas shuir for teenagers and they told me it isnt kosher anymore and I had not even thought about looking at this old childhood candy. Anyway, its now sitting out of reach of my kids waiting to be given away so this is cool…I can get a 50% refund for the box I bought mistakenly. Thanks Dan
Please don’t support these crooked lawyers. Don’t file a claim and they won’t have a class.
Filing or not filing will have ZERO effect on the lawyers. It only effects the final payout given to those that did file.
So, please go ahead and NOT file.
That statement is false. I have participated myself in a class action concerning PNC stock. The attorney contacted me personally to fill out the form since the judge threatened to throw out the case due to the small class size. If everyone can go without $7.50 in their life then there will be no case and the attorneys won’t get paid.
The Ferrara Candy Lawsuit Settlement “long form” says that if you “Do Nothing” you will “Get no benefits. Give up rights to be part of any other lawsuit against Defendant about the legal claims in this case.”
According to your theory, there is ANOTHER possible outcome if you Do Nothing: the lawsuit and/or settlement will fizzle out because the judge threw the case out and then everyone, even those that did Do Nothing in this particular settlement, can proceed with new legal action against Ferrara Candy Co.
If you can, please explain the discrepancy.
Very simple. If the settlement is never approved then nothing changes and you can sue if you want to. However if the judge does approve the settlement, then if you don’t file you get nothing. I’m not saying my suggestion to boycott is likely to be successful though. It will most likely settle and I’ll get nothing. But I still refuse to participate based on principle.
Then why isn’t that scenario you just mentioned (“If the settlement is never approved…”) listed as one of the possible outcomes if you Do Nothing?
If you read the full settlement info it states that the court will still have to accept the settlement. That is standard for a class action case.
Lawyers destroy hard working American workers.

Woo-hoo! I just found this in my Amazon history from 2014. Chewy Lemonhead & Friends Fruit Candy, 0.4 oz Mini Boxes in a Gift Box (Pack of 60). Probably a deal I found on Dansdeals.com!
I personally know the owner and have worked as a vendor to them. I am sure they did nothing wrong as I found them to be one of the most honest and ethical businesses I have dealt with.
