The deadline to apply for compensation is Nov. 2.

The individual payments will range from $750 for those who simply felt sick for a few days to $125,000 for those who suffered long-term effects.
Option Consommateurs says people can file a claim even if they don't have a proof of purchase or haven't yet arranged to get copies of medical records.
