Final Fairness Hearing
- A proposed nationwide settlement (“Settlement”) has been reached in a class action lawsuit involving Defendant Kirk’s Natural, LLC, (“Defendant” or “Kirk’s”), the distributor of products sold in stores under the “South of France” brand in the United States (“Products”). The Settlement resolves contested litigation over whether the Defendant allegedly violated state laws regarding the marketing and sale of the Products.
- You may be eligible to participate in the proposed Settlement, if it is finally approved, if you purchased any Products between September 3, 2015 and August 12, 2022.
- The Settlement will provide payments to those who qualify. You will need to file a Claim Form to get a payment from the Settlement.
- Your legal rights are affected whether you act or do not act. Read the Notice carefully.
