If You Purchased Godiva Chocolate Products, You May Be Eligible to Receive
$25.00 from this Settlement.







• A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit. Purchasers of Godiva
Chocolate Products sued Godiva Chocolatier, Inc. (“Godiva”), alleging violations
of various laws based on representations that the Godiva Chocolate Products are
made in Belgium when Plaintiffs claim they are not. Godiva denies the
allegations in the lawsuit. The Court has not decided that Godiva did anything
wrong. The Parties agreed to the Settlement to resolve the lawsuit. For more
information regarding the case, a copy of the Settlement Agreement can be found
on the Documents section of this website.


• The Notice explains the lawsuit, the Settlement, your legal rights, what
benefits are available, who is eligible for them, and how to get them. Judge
Alison J. Nathan of the United States District Court for the Southern District
of New York is overseeing the Settlement.


• You are eligible to participate in this Settlement if you purchased any Godiva
Chocolate Product from January 31, 2015 through October 26, 2021. To receive
payment under the Settlement, you must submit a timely and valid Claim Form.
Settlement Class Members who do not exclude themselves from the Settlement will
be bound by the Settlement even if they do not submit Claim Forms.  


• For Settlement Class Members who submit a timely and valid Claim Form with
Proof of Purchase, Godiva will pay up to $25, depending on the number of Godiva
Chocolate Products purchased.


• For Settlement Class Members who submit a timely and valid Claim Form without
Proof of Purchase, Godiva will pay up to $15, depending on the number of Godiva
Chocolate Products purchased.
