Consumers nationwide who purchased specific Ferrara Candy Co. or Nestle USA candies between Feb. 9, 2013, and Sep. 23, 2021, may be eligible to receive up to $8 without proof of purchase thanks to a recent $3.7 million Ferrara Candy class action settlement.

Plaintiffs in the Ferrara Candy class action lawsuit allege Ferrara and Nestle USA both intentionally underfilled their cardboard candy boxes to deceive potential consumers into thinking more product was in the box than there actually was.
Further, the plaintiffs say an unacceptable 48 percent of the overall space within candy boxes was left empty. The plaintiffs argue they would not have paid the price they did if they knew they were only getting about 52 percent of the product they expected to receive.
The company denies any wrongdoing or liability regarding this matter, and argues the unfilled space helps protect the product and is not meant to be deceptive.
The Court did not make a ruling or determination of guilt in this class action lawsuit.
Both parties considered the benefits, risk, cost, and time associated with continuing to pursue this case and determined the settlement agreement is in every party’s best interests.
Per the Ferrara Candy settlement agreement , eligible Class Members will receive $0.50 per unit of covered product up to a maximum of sixteen units, or $8.
A final hearing in the Ferrara Candy class action settlement will take place Jan. 12, 2022.
