Purchased a box of Quaker Harvest Crunch 1.4kg. Submitted request for reimbursement die to salmonella recall. Took 2 followup emails and they finally sent coupons: 2 coupons for a free Quaker, ********, or Pearl ******* company product up to $6.99 value. Not acceptable as I don't purchase any of those products, which leaves me with the only option of buying 2 boxes of 475g Harvest Crunch. So in essence, I paid for 1.4kg, but only receive 950g of cereal. Not acceptable, especially since my last email and phone call with them, I told them I would not accept anything but a coupon for a replacement 1.4kg box, or a monetary refund. They assured me that they understood, then did something else. It's not about the money, but the principle here - I expect fair compensation for their error.Business response

I responded immediately with this information. On 5/15/2024, I received a response thanking me and that my information had been updated.On 7/5/2024, I sent another email stating that I still had not received my refund.

I purchased gatorade items thru online account at gatorade.com on August 19th 2024. Thru there website it states that items that are NOT customized will ship within 5 to 7 business days. As of September 5th 2024 items still haven't shipped and no information provided. I have called consumer affairs and they stated that gatorade doesn't have phones. We have had several emails back and forth only and there is still no resolution. I am nervous that my card has been charged and still no products in my possesionBusiness response

I have not worked a particular company for a year bow which I will not name to keep their Information private. Pepsi keeps calling me releasing account and billing information after I have removed my info myself before I left the other company. I have asked them to remover my info several times 7-8 over the past year and just last week they said no problem. This morning 9/3/2024 I was given a call with all of their information again about the billing of the account. When I called pepsi frustrated the lady on the phone said she can't help and told me to call the other business myself or give her the account info. I do not work there so I don't keep the info. She than told me to do it myself and hung up on me. The 2nd time I called I was transfered 4 times with no offer of resolution or given to the escalation department. I will be seeking legal counsel on the matter for harassment. Would like to make it known again I have not worked for this other company for a year now. This is horrible service by a well known company *** neglect for the safety of sensitive business information and finances.Business response

Quaker recalled its products due to suspected salmonella contamination and agreed to provide reimbursement via *******************************. I filed my claim on 1/10/24 and received an email that said "you will be receiving compensation in the mail in the next 6-8 weeks." The case # was ******. I waited but never received my reimbursement, so I followed up with them in April. They sent me an email saying processing was delayed on 4/26/24. In the email, they also said "coupons" instead of reimbursement/compensation, so I was confused when the promise was swapped with coupons. I again waited patiently but never received anything. I followed up again after a month, and on 5/31/24, they sent me an email that said "ow we are currently working on sending you the compensation via mail as soon as possible." So, I waited yet again, but nothing was mailed to me. I sent them an email on 7/27/24 to follow up, but it was completely ignored. I sent another email on 8/8/24, but I never received any response. At this point, they are simply ignoring. This has gone on for too long, and I need Quaker to show accountability and actually issue me the reimbursement. I also want them to know that I did not simply purchase their products but actually suffered a very severe food poisoning and collapsed at an airport. At that time, I didn't make the connection, but it's no coincidence that I got sick after consuming their granola bars, and my symptoms were consistent with Salmonella infection. It is bad enough that I've suffered this much, and I request Quaker to not put me through any additional suffering through false promises and stonewalling.Business response

In addition, the way they tended to this case was very diligent and respectful, completely owning their errors. I've never seen a big business/company show compassion/care without any defensiveness or deflection. I am impressed by this business.

I purchased a large quantity of Quaker Granola bars (23 58-count boxes), and shortly thereafter discovered that they were part of a recall due to possible salmonella contamination. I contacted ****** to confirm that the boxes I had were included in the recall, and they said they were. I was sent an email and told to send pictures of the items I had so that I could receive reimbursement for the products. I submitted those on April 11, 2024, the same day they sent me the email. In May, I called to check the status, but was told that my case was escalated and under review, and that they could not provide me with any other information at that time.At the end of June, I tried emailing them, and I got a reply with the same general information as I had been given in May. The email said my case had been "escalated" and was "under review by another department." There has never been any explanation as to why my case was escalated, how long the "review" will take, or what department or person is handling the review. It's been four months since I initially contacted Quaker, and I still have not received any information or updates. It doesn't seem like there's anything else I can do on my end at this point to get any sort of resolution or even information from them about this situation. I'd like them to follow through with reimbursement, and if that is going to take any longer, provide an explanation as to why, as well as the name and contact information for whoever is handling the case.Business response

I spoke with a representative of ******, who was diligent in following up with me and ensuring that the issue was resolved quickly and fairly. She apologized and explained that, due to the volume of responses they have gotten, some requests have fallen through the cracks. While I would like to think they could have something in place to prevent that, I understand that mistakes happen, and I hope that other customers with similar concerns will be able to get their concerns resolved as well.Quaker sent me a check to cover the cost of the recalled product, as well as several extra coupons to use for Quaker products or related brands.
I am fully satisfied with ******'s final resolution to my submission regarding my recalled products.

Same issue as dozens of people on this page. Promised a refund dozens of times. Have dozens of emails from Quaker but NO refunds after 6-8 months!!! Utterly shameful and unethical company and I want an even larger refund now. Clearly they are deliberately avoiding paying people as promised. Maybe they want a class action lawsuit in their hands.Business response
