Individuals who lived in, owned or rented a residential property within a half mile of the Prestige Feed facility at 431 North Lakeview Court, Suite A, Mount Prospect, Illinois, at any time since March 2019 may be eligible to claim a cash payment from a class action settlement.
Prestige Feed LLC and Cereal Byproducts Co. Inc. agreed to pay $900,000 to resolve a class action lawsuit alleging they emitted noxious odors and airborne contaminants from their facility, creating a nuisance for nearby residents.
Who can file a claim?
The settlement considers individuals who meet the following criteria as class members who may be eligible for compensation:
- They owned, rented or leased any residential property located in whole or in part within a half-mile radius of the Prestige Feed facility at 431 North Lakeview Court, Suite A, Mount Prospect, Illinois.
- They occupied the property at any time from March 2019 through the present.
Additional details:
- The settlement includes all owners or occupants who previously provided a data sheet to class counsel prior to Sept. 18, 2025.
- Only one claim per household/address.
- Both owners and tenants are eligible but must provide documentation to support their claim. Documentation requirements differ for owners and tenants.
How much can class members get?
Pro rata payment: The total settlement fund is $900,000. The amount each class member receives will depend on the number of valid claims submitted as the fund is distributed on a pro rata basis after deducting attorneys’ fees, expenses, service awards and administrative costs.
The calculation for each approved claim is as follows:
- Net settlement fund = $900,000 minus attorneys’ fees, expenses, service awards and administrative costs
- Each valid claim = Net settlement fund / total number of approved addresses with claims
The settlement administrator will determine the actual payment per household after it processes all claims.
