The deadline to file a claim form in a $3.6 million Spartan Mosquito repellent class-action settlement is in seven days.
A Mississippi-based company called AC2T, the manufacturer of Spartan Mosquito Eradicator, agreed to a settlement earlier this year to resolve false advertising claims in a lawsuit.

Various factors will determine the total a consumer’s payout could amount to. Those who do not provide any proof of purchase can file a claim for up to $7 for one qualifying Spartan Mosquito repellent per household. Those who provide proof of purchase can receive $10 per household.
AC2T was met with a class-action lawsuit after allegations that its advertising, which claimed the product would reduce mosquito populations for 15 days, was false. Plaintiffs said the company misled consumers and that the repellent did not perform as advertised. The company has not admitted to any wrongdoing but agreed to the settlement to resolve the lawsuit.
