According to the proposed settlement terms, class members may receive a $2 refund for each product purchased (for up to 8 products or a maximum reward of $16). The company also agreed to stop using the phrases “100% Natural” or “All Natural” on the packages or labels of Stevia in the Raw products. A final fairness hearing is scheduled for April 6, 2016.
February 2014: A class-action lawsuit was filed against Cumberland Packing Corp. for allegedly falsely marketing its Stevia In The Raw® 100% Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener.

(Frohberg et al v. Cumberland Packing Corp., Case No. 14-cv-00748, E. D. NY.).
