Keurig Class Action Lawsuit 2026, $1.85M Canadian Settlement Claim Deadline July 8, Plus U.S. K-Supreme Defect Settlement
Can you file a Keurig lawsuit claim in 2026? Yes—if you’re in Canada. Keurig Canada agreed to pay $1.85 million CAD to settle recyclability claims, and Canadian residents who bought K-Cup pods or brewers from June 8, 2016 to present have until July 8, 2026 to file at www.kcupsrecyclingsettlement.ca. U.S. residents may still qualify for a separate K-Supreme coffee maker defect settlement with deadlines extending to September 2027.
Here’s everything you need to know about both settlements.
Canadian Settlement: $1.85M for Misleading Recyclability Claims
Who Qualifies for the Canadian Keurig Settlement?
You’re eligible if you’re in Canada and purchased Keurig K-Cup pods or Keurig coffee machines sold in Canada between June 8, 2016, and the present day.
The lawsuit, filed by plaintiff Nancy Buis, alleged Keurig sold products with “misleading representations as to the recyclability and/or disposability of the pods” in violation of Canada’s Competition Act. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice approved the settlement on December 8, 2025.
How Much Can Canadians Claim?
Without proof of purchase: Up to $7 per household or business for up to 14 pods
With proof of purchase for pods: $0.05 per pod, up to $50 maximum per household
With proof of purchase for brewers: Up to $25 per Keurig brewing machine
Proof includes receipts, email order confirmations, or shipping confirmations. After legal fees of $634,845.17 plus taxes are deducted from the $1.85 million settlement, remaining funds will be distributed to approved claimants.
Canadian Claim Deadline: July 8, 2026
Claims must be submitted online at www.kcupsrecyclingsettlement.ca by 11:59 p.m. ET on July 8, 2026. The settlement administrator is Eqitas.
U.S. Settlement: K-Supreme Coffee Maker Defect ($950,000)
Who Qualifies for the U.S. Keurig Settlement?
U.S. residents who owned a Keurig K-Supreme, K-Supreme Plus, or K-Supreme SMART coffee maker between October 1, 2020, and June 20, 2025, may qualify.
The lawsuit (Cahill v. Keurig Green Mountain, Inc., Case No. 22-cv-7507-CS, Southern District of New York) alleged these models had a defect causing permanent power loss during the descaling process when following Keurig’s instructions. The settlement was approved September 30, 2025.
What U.S. Consumers Can Receive
Performance Issue Claims: Up to $250 cash if your machine permanently lost power during descaling within 12 months of purchase and Keurig didn’t provide a warranty remedy
Extended Warranty Claims: 12-month warranty extension if your machine experienced descaling issues
The total settlement fund is $950,000.
U.S. Claim Deadlines
November 14, 2025 (CLOSED): Performance issue claims and extended warranty claims for power loss before June 20, 2025
September 30, 2027 (OPEN): Extended warranty claims for power loss occurring after June 20, 2025

How to File Your Canadian Keurig Claim
Step 1: Gather Your Documentation

Step 2: Complete the Online Claim Form
Visit www.kcupsrecyclingsettlement.ca and enter:
- Your personal information (name, address, email, phone)
- Whether you have proof of purchase
- Product names and quantity of pods/brewers purchased

Your claim must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. ET on July 8, 2026. Late submissions will not be accepted.
Important Settlement Details
This Is a Compromise, Not an Admission
Keurig denies all allegations and maintains its conduct was lawful. The company states K-Cups are recyclable in “various regions” including British Columbia and Quebec, with more provinces joining in 2026.
The court has not ruled on the merits of the claims—the settlement is simply a compromise to avoid prolonged litigation.
Legal Fees Reduce Total Payout
From the $1.85 million settlement, $634,845.17 plus taxes goes to legal fees and administration costs. The remaining amount will be divided among valid claimants.
This is standard in consumer protection settlements like the Get Up To $1500 Per Text From Shein Class Action Lawsuits Exposed $700K Settlement, where legal fees are deducted before distribution.
