According to a report by The US Sun, Wahlburgers, the burger chain run by Mark Wahlberg’s family, is paying $2 million to settle a lawsuit over misleading pickle labels. The lawsuit claims that Wahlburgers’ pickles were incorrectly labeled as “fresh,” “all-natural,” and “no preservatives,” despite containing sodium benzoate, a common preservative. Although Wahlburgers denies any wrongdoing, they agreed to the settlement to avoid further legal costs.
How to File a Claim
If you bought Wahlburgers’ pickles between April 1, 2021, and March 31, 2023, you are eligible to file a claim for up to $12 without proof of purchase. You can claim $2 per product for up to six products. The deadline to file your claim is July 29, and you can do so on the settlement website.
Broader Implications
This settlement is part of a larger trend of lawsuits that hold companies accountable for misleading advertising and privacy breaches. Similar cases involving companies like Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works underscore the importance of protecting consumers and providing financial compensation to those affected.
