Update from the President

 

Good morning awesome Top Class Actions viewers! You’re SO AWESOME we just passed 100,000 newsletter subscribers! That is SUPER FANTASTIC! I’m really happy to see us grow. I still remember sending my first newsletter, years ago, to just 37 people. Every single person back then was a friend or family. Now, with more than 100,000 subscribers, my family has GROWN both literally and figuratively! I now have Sydney and Aubrey. They’ve grown along with the business. Heck, those first few months of business we were only adding a newsletter subscriber or two per week. Now we add more than a thousand. At the end of that year we had only brought in a few thousand in revenue. Now we’re making enough to support a dozen employees, provide health insurance, and put some presents under the Christmas tree! I’m thankful that YOU make that possible! Thanks for sticking with us and helping us grow! Sydney and Aubrey thank you as well. At least they would, if they could stop running for one minute. I think that’s how they stay so slim. They’re running everywhere is they’re allowed. Life is a race and they’re definitely working hard at an early age to get ahead!

 

OK, are you ready for some class action updates? Here you go!

 

 

That’s all for now! Make it a GREAT week!

 

Warm Regards,

Scott Hardy

Update from the Senior Editor / VP of Operations

 

Good morning, everyone! I’m filling in for Scott Hardy again to allow him and his beautiful wife time to celebrate her birthday. Cheers to her big day :)

In our quest to find every consumer class action settlement we can get our hands on, we’ve uncovered quite a few big ones, which we’ve reported above. We also have some news for those of you following the eMachines floppy disk class action settlement, OfficeMax ZIP code class action settlement, and Kashi false advertising class action lawsuit.

eMachines has extended the cash option deadline for consumers who filed a claim for the floppy disk settlement. Class Members now have until Dec. 1, 2013, to request a cash redemption.

On Thursday, a federal judge preliminarily approved a revised class action settlement over claims that OfficeMax illegally collected ZIP codes during debit and credit card transactions. The original settlement was rejected in July. A separate class action lawsuit involving claims that Kashi falsely advertised its food products as “all natural” now includes dozens of products. We’ll update you when and if claim filing instructions become available for both cases.

Here are more class action updates:

 

We hope you found some great class actions to follow or file claims for. Have a great week!

Best Wishes,

Sarah Pierce
