$10-Million Settlement Proposed: A judge tentatively approved a $10-million settlement awarding $700 in cash and coupons to each of 10,000 people who thought they won a Dodge minivan in a botched Kraft cheese contest. Another 10,000 people would receive $8 to $75 in cash and free-food coupons under the settlement given preliminary approval by Cook County Circuit Judge Albert Green. The settlement, if approved following a scheduled Oct. 16 hearing, could conclude all litigation--not to mention embarrassment--surrounding the “Ready to Roll” promotion run in June, 1989, by the Kraft General Foods Group of Philip Morris Cos.
