If you have ever bought a product, signed up for a service, or dealt with a company that may not have been fully transparent, there is a good chance you qualify for a class action lawsuit. Many of the settlements listed here do not require you to submit receipts or detailed documentation. These are commonly referred to as no proof class action settlements, and they are one of the easiest ways to receive compensation if you were affected. We list both the no proof and the small proof class actions below.

This page focuses on current and upcoming class action settlements that are open to consumers in 2025. Most involve issues like misleading advertising, recurring subscription fees, or unauthorized data use. A growing number of these cases allow eligible individuals to file claims without proof of purchase. That means even if you no longer have your receipts, you may still be entitled to a payout.

We update this list regularly to help people find the most accessible opportunities. From large national settlements to more specific cases involving false labeling or privacy violations, our goal is to make it simple to understand what is available and how to join. If you are interested in class action lawsuits, you can join without the paperwork hassle. You will find everything you need here, including deadlines, payout details, and how to file.

Prime Energy Drink is a new product marketed by YouTube influencers that has become extremely popular with young consumers. Prime has done a textbook job of marketing to children.  Kids who do not even like the taste of Prime drink it because they like what it represents.

Recently, however, two separate consumer class action lawsuits have been filed against the makers of Prime Energy.

One lawsuit alleges that Prime Energy is falsely marketed to children despite known health risks associated with its high caffeine content.

The answer to this question varies depending on the specific class action settlement. Carefully review the claim filing instructions to determine whether proof of purchase is necessary when submitting your claim form.

Certain class action settlements specifically require certain forms of proof from claimants, such as a store receipt, product packaging, or another court-approved document, to support your claim for an award. However, many other settlements do not require proof of purchase for participation.

In some settlements, you may have the option to choose whether to include proof of purchase with your claim form. Typically, class members who furnish proof of purchase are eligible for a higher payout compared to those who do not provide evidence of their product or service acquisition.

OnlyFans, a widely used subscription-based content platform, is facing multiple class action lawsuits that make strong allegations concerning  deceptive practices, consumer rights violations, and unfair competition.

These lawsuits center on claims that OnlyFans engaged in deceptive business practices bymisleading subscribers by using paid “chatters” to impersonate content creators, which encouraged excessive spending without disclosure. Additionally, plaintiffs allege that the platform enrolled users in automatic payment renewals without proper consent, making cancellation difficult and leading to unauthorized charges.

Other claims include anti-competitive behavior, where OnlyFans allegedly blacklisted creators promoting rival platforms, and biometric privacy violations, accusing the company of collecting facial recognition data without obtaining legally required consent.

TRESemmé is a popular brand of shampoo and other hair care products made by Unilever, Inc. Recently, consumers have filed lawsuits alleging that TRESemmé shampoo contains harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde that have caused users to suffer hair loss.

A Tom’s Toothpaste class action lawsuit has been filed against Colgate-Palmolive Co. and Tom’s of Maine, Inc., alleging that their Tom’s Natural Kids Toothpaste contains unsafe levels of toxic heavy metals, specifically lead and arsenic.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York by Douglas White on behalf of similarly affected consumers, accuses the manufacturers of deceptively marketing the toothpaste as safe for children while omitting critical information about contamination risks.

We are learning more about the presence of heavy metals in consumer products, particularly those targeted at children. Lawsuits are following because many of these companies knew or should have known about the presence of toxic metals in their products, and companies failed to warn consumers or work to eliminate the toxic metals.  The focus before this has been on toxic metals in baby food.  Now, parents have to worry about toothpaste contributing to brain injuries.

Class action lawsuits are powerful legal tools that enable large groups of individuals to join forces in holding corporations or other large entities accountable for similar grievances. These cases often result in substantial settlements or judgments, with defendants agreeing to pay compensation to affected class members.

But here is the thing people do not realize…not all settlement funds are distributed to claimants. A significant portion of these funds can go unclaimed, creating a unique issue in class action litigation. The handling of unclaimed class action settlement money varies. But it usually follows a few well-established paths.

Unclaimed money from class action settlements in 2025 remains an often-overlooked resource, with billions of dollars left on the table due to unclaimed funds. For many claimants, the process of accessing their share can be confusing or cumbersome, leading to missed opportunities. And people are just lazy.
