Under the settlement, defendant agreed to pay $260,000 to a settlement fund to pay class members a certain amount per carton for every flax milk beverage product they purchased, up to 10 cartons per class member. Defendant also agreed to refrain from using the phrase "all natural" on the packaging of any future flax milk beverage products.
