US Justice Dept. Says Cookie Class Action Settlement Not So Sweet
In the original settlement with Lenny & Larry’s, the DOJ estimated only $350,000 in cash went to the class members, and suggested that fees should be in the range of $228,000 to $463,000. The government was particularly critical of a provision that gave potentially $3.15 million in free cookies to General Nutrition Centers Inc. and The Vitamin Shoppe in the event that not enough class members make claims.
