What is the Settlement About?
Understanding the Safeway BOGO Class Action Settlement
- The United States District Court for the Northern District of California approved a class action settlement against Safeway Inc. and Albertsons Companies, LLC on July 25, 2023, settling allegations that their Safeway stores statewide engaged in false or deceptive advertising and deceptive pricing practices in connection with certain buy one get one (“BOGO”) and promotional sales breaks.
- Eligible individuals are those who paid for at least one identifiable item on a particular BOGO promotion or other Safeway promotional sale break that was offered in any California Safeway store between August 23, 2018 and March 1, 2021. The duly authorized claims administrator for this settlement, Postlethwaite & Netterville, will issue automatic payments of up to $200 to those who were automatically notified of their right to participate in the settlement as class members—the amount will vary based on the total number of potential class members and the number of people who file claims.
- For those who qualify as class members but did not receive particular notice, the process is more complicated. These class members have until July 9, 2024 to submit a claims form to receive an individual settlement payment.
- Regardless, class members specifically waive and release their right to sue for the alleged conduct during the effective date regardless of whether such class members submit claims.
- Safeway has agreed to pay $1.3 million towards a settlement fund, which will be broken down into two categories: prior notice payments and payments to those who submit responsive claims. In addition to payments whose eligibility is based upon the issuance of prior notice, class members will receive monetary compensation for what they were formerly charged based on a specific ratio of the price difference for individuals who shop in a club store or warehouse store without using a club membership or a coupon for the same product.
- These rights do not extend to any current/former employees of Safeway or Albertsons in any capacity or with any right to further challenge the settlements of this case, however. Such individuals and anyone who is no longer within a valid time period to address factional costs from Safeway or Albertsons or submit a claim is also excluded from eligibility and/or recovery rights under this case.
