If you made a purchase from a Canteen vending machine with a credit, debit, or prepaid card, you could get $30-$360 from the class action settlement.
Goldenberg Heller & Antognoli, P.C., is proud to announce a $6,940,000 settlement in a nationwide class action lawsuit against Compass Group USA, Inc., known as Canteen. The settlement resolves claims that certain vending machines operated by Canteen across the country charged more than the displayed price when consumers used a credit, debit, or prepaid card—without any notice of the upcharge. Compass denies liability.
After years of complex litigation in multiple federal courts across the country, the parties reached a settlement that will return meaningful compensation to affected consumers. Class members who file valid and timely claims by November 17, 2025 can receive between $30 and $360, depending on the number of purchases made.
On July 9, 2025, the Court preliminarily approved the settlement and appointed as Class Counsel attorneys Kevin P. Green and Daniel S. Levy of Goldenberg Heller & Antognoli, P.C., Mike Arias and M. Anthony Jenkins of Arias Sanguinetti Wang and Team LLP, and Joel R. Rhine and Ruth A. Sheehan of Rhine Law Firm, P.C. A final fairness hearing is set for January 9, 2026.
