Freeman v. Belcampo Group, Inc.

What is the Lawsuit About?

A lawsuit was originally brought against Belcampo Group, Inc., (“Belcampo”). The lawsuit alleges that Defendant falsely and deceptively labeled and advertised selling high quality organic meat that was “100% Certified Organic,” “100% grass-fed,” “USDA Certified,” and/or “processed in Northern California" at Defendant’s organic ranch. Belcampo denies that there is any factual or legal basis for the lawsuit. The Court has not determined whether Plaintiffs or Belcampo are correct.

How do I know if I am part of the Settlement?

This case involves purchases made from Belcampo Group, Inc., locations in California between January 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021 (“Class Period”).

Specifically, the “Settlement Class” means all Persons who made a purchase in California during the Class Period.

What Does the Settlement Provide?

Authorized Claimants are entitled to receive a Settlement Benefit in the amount of up to $3 (without proof of purchase). Class Members who provide proof of purchase with their Claim in the form of a receipt or other valid proof of purchase will receive a refund for the purchase price(s) paid up to a maximum of up to $10 in total per Claimant. Only 1 (One) Authorized Claimant per Household is entitled to receive a Settlement Benefit unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.

Settlement Benefits will be adjusted on a pro-rata basis depending on how many claims are filed.

If the total value of all approved Claims either exceeds or falls short of the amount available to pay Authorized Claimants after payment from the Settlement Amount of Court awarded costs, fees and service awards, then the amounts of the Settlement Benefit will be reduced or increased to ensure the fund is exhausted. Any such pro-rata adjustment will be calculated prior to distribution (i.e., will be made in a single distribution).
