Worst False Ad Settlements of 2025
Some class-action settlements that left consumers out in the cold.
In May 2013, a $4 million settlement between Kellogg and consumers who filed a class-action lawsuit against it for allegedly falsely advertising Frosted Mini-Wheat’s ability to improve attentiveness, memory, and other cognitive functions in children was preliminarily approved by a federal judge. According to the settlement terms, class members will get a $5 refund for each box of the cereal they purchased (with a $15 maximum recovery per consumer).
