If you've bought Breyers vanilla ice cream in the last eight years, you may be eligible for one cash payment.

Breyers will pay an $8.85 million settlement as part of a class-action lawsuit that claimed its “Natural Vanilla” label was misleading because the ice cream allegedly contained vanilla flavor not from vanilla bean.

Defendants, Conopco, Inc. (the advertiser) and Unilever United States, Inc. (Breyer's parent company), denied all claims but agreed to the settlement, according to a press release.
