For years, Keurig marketed their popular K-cups as recyclable, but they recently settled a $10M class action lawsuit arguing the company misrepresented that claim.
Customers who bought Keurig K-cup coffee pods in the last several years may be able to claim some cash from a court settlement.Customers who bought Keurig K-cup coffee pods in the last several years may be able to claim some cash from a court settlement.Keurig announced in 2016 that it would start making recyclable pods, but most waste management companies don't accept K-cups because they're too small and often dirty.
"This is a false advertising," said Kathleen Smith. "If your product truly cannot be recycled in most places you need to change your labeling."We started investigating and learned that, in fact, contrary to the company's representations, the pods were not recyclable in any meaningful fashion," said Howard Hirsch with Lexington Law Group.
Keurig told ABC News that they stand by the original wording on the packaging and that "clearly communicating how to recycle our K-cup pods where accepted is a responsibility that we take seriously."
