Dr. Squatch (November 27) is the one settlement on the list that stays open past October.
Reading the Labels
“No proof” means no receipt and no notice ID. It does not mean no eligibility. Every form asks you to certify, under penalty of perjury, that you are in the class, and some administrators can ask for records later. For a settlement that requires a mailed ID, a missing notice does not always end your claim. The official website lists the alternate way to file.
Where the payout is a share of a fund, as with pork, Flo, NAR and turkey, the amount depends on how many valid claims are filed, so published estimates stay estimates. Filing holds your place but does not set a payment date. Most of these settlements still face a final approval hearing, and none of the defendants has been found liable. The October 2026 roundup on OpenClassActions.com keeps the same list, ordered by how many people each case reaches.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the first class action deadline in October 2026?
October 2, 2026, for the $750,000 Sugared + Bronzed text message settlement. It covers people who kept getting marketing texts after replying STOP, pays an estimated $110 to $222, and uses the LoginID and PIN from the mailed notice.
Which October 2026 settlements need no proof of purchase?
Six: pork price-fixing, Bestway above-ground pools, Flo period tracker, Dr. Squatch, NYC Central Booking and the Fort Wayne Medical Education Program data breach. Each still requires a sworn statement that you are in the class.
Can I file without the ID or PIN from my notice?
On the six no-proof settlements, yes. On TransUnion, Lands’ End, Concora Credit, TED, EY and Bank of America, Palm Beach Tan, Sugared + Bronzed and turkey, the ID opens the online form, and without it you need the alternate instructions on the official website. VSL#3 lets people without a notice register an email address for a code.
Which settlement on the list stays open past October?
Only the Dr. Squatch Natural labeling settlement, which closes November 27, 2026. The other 16 close in October.
When will October 2026 settlements pay?
Filing is not a payment date. Most of these settlements still have a final approval hearing ahead, and payment follows only after court approval and any appeals.
