Most of us own a couch, upholstered chair, mattress or something made with polyurethane foam. It's usually that foam cushion filling.
 
Well, if you bought it between 1999 and August of last year, it could mean some money back for you. And you may not even have to supply proof!
 
Major makers of flexible polyurethane foam settled a class action lawsuit over allegations of price fixing. To get part of the $151 million settlement, you must file a claim by Feb. 29.
 
Companies settling this suit admitted no wrongdoing.

If you bought Blue Buffalo pet food, a settlement could mean between $5 and $200 back for you depending on the proof you provide.
 
The company settled a class action lawsuit over allegations it falsely claimed the foods were free of poultry byproducts, corn, wheat, soy and artificial preservatives. You needed to have bought the products between May of 2008 and December of 2015. The deadline to file a claim is April 16.
 
Blue Buffalo did not admit any wrongdoing by settling this lawsuit.

And if you own a Remington made rifle, listen up.
 
Allegations are about a dozen of their models, including model 700, had defective triggers which caused accidental discharges. The company says if you have one of the affected models now, do not use it.
 
If you bought one between May of 2006 and April of 2014, you could qualify for getting that trigger mechanism repaired or money back if the repairs were already made.
