What FreebieAgent noticed
This is a legitimate class action settlement that's already been preliminarily approved by Rhode Island Superior Court, with a final fairness hearing scheduled for November 4, 2026. The class covers residential property owners and renters in a defined area around the facility at 289 Scituate Ave in Johnston; the lawsuit alleged private nuisance, public nuisance, and negligence related to odor emissions. No proof of purchase is required to file, and the payout amount per address will be determined once all valid claims are counted. There's an earlier opt-out deadline of October 19, 2026 if you want to exclude yourself. This is worth claiming if you lived in the area during the window.
