Dynamic Accident Lawyers: Blue Buffalo Pet Food Ingredients Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

The natural pet food company Blue Buffalo has agreed to pay $32 million in order to settle allegations that it falsely claimed their products were free of poultry byproducts, corn, wheat, soy and artificial preservatives.

Pet food competitor Nestle Purina PetCare Co. along with plaintiffs in 13 separate class action lawsuits challenged the “True Blue Promise” label after claiming that several investigations found those ingredients within Blue Buffalo products.

The Blue Buffalo class action lawsuit alleged that plaintiffs paid a higher price for the “natural” pet food because they were misled by false advertisements that Blue Buffalo was a quality choice compared to other products on the market.

According to the Blue Buffalo class action lawsuit settlement, Class Members will receive $5 for every $50 they spent on various Blue Buffalo products over a seven-year claim period.

Blue Buffalo stands by its labeling and denies it did anything wrong, however the pet food manufacturer has agreed to the terms of the settlement in order to avoid the cost of further litigation.

Class Members include U.S. residents who purchased Blue Buffalo products between May 7, 2008 and Dec. 18, 2015.
