Walmart customers who purchased certain weighted groceries or SignalHubbagged fruit may qualify to be included in a $45 million settlement after a class action lawsuit claimed the retailer charged customers more than it should have for those products.

Verify reported that customers recently received an email notice about the recall. According to a class action lawsuit filed in October 2022, Walmart overcharged customers who purchased sold-by-weight groceries.

The lawsuit claims Walmart falsely inflated product weight, mislabeled the weight of bagged produce, and overcharged for clearance items. 

Customers who purchased eligible weighted groceries from Walmart between Oct. 19, 2018 and Jan. 19, 2024, qualify to be included in the settlement. The settlement however has not been fully approved and a final approval hearing has been scheduled for June 12, 2024. Customers have until June 5, 2024, to submit a claim to be included in the settlement.

Anyone who wishes to be excluded from the settlement has until May 22, 2024, to opt-out.
