Consumers who purchased certain trash bags over the past five years may be eligible for a share of a class action settlement.
Reynolds Consumer Products settled an Illinois lawsuit against it that alleged that the company mislead consumers by promoting certain Hefty and Great Value trash bags as recyclable when they were not.
The company did not admit fault in the settlement but agreed to pay up to $3 million and either recreate the bags to be recyclable or remove the claim from the product's packaging within six months.
The settlement has been preliminarily approved with a hearing on final approval set for November 15.
