July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Northeast Indiana residents should be wary of offers concerning a class action suit against the Gerber baby food company, a representative of the Indiana State Attorney General warns.
Area residents have reported receiving offers to be part of a class action settlement - if they would only send in a copy of their child's birth certificate and social security number.
A private class action suit was filed against three baby food makers for price fixing, according to Rich Schneider, a representative of the Indiana State Attorney General. But filing for the small awards, less than $45, ended Jan. 31 and the suit did not include Indiana residents.
All sorts of rumors have sprung up about the settlement, he said. He also said that at no time during that settlement were consumers asked to give a birth certificate or social security number. [[In-content Ad]]
