How to Handle Your Lean Cuisine Recall Claim

Lean Cuisine is one of the biggest brand names in frozen convenience meals, with millions of consumers choosing the products on a daily basis.

If you have purchased a product that has suffered from one of these quality control issues and have questions about a Lean Cuisine recall, DoNotPay can help.

Handling a claim for a Lean Cuisine recall on your own can be a lengthy, time-consuming process, and often, you can be left with more questions than answers. With DoNotPay, you will get a resolution quickly, saving you time and money.

How to Make a Claim on Your Own

Once you have determined that your Lean Cuisine product is part of a recall, it is time to start your claim. Most people who have been affected by a product recall are eligible for a claim. There are several ways to go about filing your claim:

1. You can call Nestle Prepared Foods, the parent company of Lean Cuisine, at 1-800-993-8625. The representatives at the other end of the line will ask you questions to confirm whether the product you purchased is part of the recall and then detail what kind of compensation you can expect.

2. You can send an email through the Lean Cuisine customer care website. The website includes a complaint form as well as a general comments link, as well as a place to upload a photo.

Either of these methods can leave you waiting for a response for quite some time since different representatives might have different information on the Lean Cuisine recall. However, by using DoNotPay, you can get a fast answer, finding out if your product is eligible for a recall and whether you have a claim.

What Happened With the Lean Cuisine Recall?

There have been several Lean Cuisine recalls over the past few decades. Here are the most notable:

December 2020	Lean Cuisine issued a recall that affected more than 92,000 pounds of its Lean Cuisine Baked Chicken frozen meals. These meals contained white meat chicken with stuffing, red potatoes, and gravy. The affected meals were reported to be contaminated with pieces of white plastic.
November 2008	Lean Cuisine recalled 900,000 pounds of product. This recall affected three different types of meals, with contaminated products reportedly having small bits of blue plastic in them.
