You never know what the actual ingredients are, the tuna cans you buy at your grocery store may not be tuna after all! When companies mislead consumers or are proven of any wrongdoing (especially in a court of law), you may be eligble for a settlement. When companies are proven at fault, they will provide a refund or other valued expense if you can provide proof of purchase, such as a receipt, credit card statment or other transaction documents.
