The deadline to file a claim form in a $3.6 million class-action settlement for Spartan Mosquito repellent is in less than a week.
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.
EGG PRODUCERS AND TWO TRADE GROUPS INFLATED PRICES FOR YEARS, FEDERAL JURY FINDS
Consumers of Spartan Mosquito products, such as the Spartan Mosquito Eradicator and Spartan Mosquito Pro Tech, who made a purchase between Dec. 21, 2016, and Aug. 2, 2023, may be eligible for financial compensation from the settlement.
Spartan Mosquito repellent customers have until Dec. 1 to file a claim, which can be found here. Filers can either send a claim form by mail, which must be postmarked by the deadline, or fill one out online. The New York Supreme Court for Kings County will hold a hearing on Dec. 4 to decide the final approval for the class-action settlement.

Various factors will determine the total a consumer’s payout could amount to. Those without 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 wrongdoing but agreed to the settlement to resolve the lawsuit.
