Top Class Actions readers received checks in the mail from several settlements resolving claims of illegal telemarketing, false advertising and more.
DirecTV TCPA class action rebates
Readers have reported receiving payments from a $17 million class action lawsuit settlement with DirecTV over alleged unsolicited telemarketing calls.
The settlement benefits consumers who received phone calls from DirecTV or its agents regarding a debt despite not being a DirecTV customer since Oct. 1, 2004.
According to the class action lawsuit, DirecTV violated the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) by contacting consumers with unsolicited telemarketing phone calls. These calls allegedly sought payment for debts despite the call recipients never having been DirecTV customers.
DirecTV agreed to resolve the TCPA class action lawsuit with a $17 million settlement. Under the terms of the settlement, consumers could receive a proportional share of the net settlement based on which DirecTV agent called them. Top Class Actions readers report receiving payment as high as $1,693!
The DirecTV TCPA class action lawsuit is Jenny Brown, et al. v. DirecTV LLC, Case No. 2:13-cv-01170, in the District Court for the Central District of California.
Celsius false advertising settlement checks
Celsius consumers have begun to receive payments from a $7.8 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that Celsuis falsely advertised its products as preservative-free.
The settlement benefits those who purchased any Celsius beverage between Jan. 1, 2015, and Nov. 23, 2022.
Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit accused Celsuis of falsely advertising its beverages as containing “no preservatives.” In reality, Celsius drinks allegedly contain citric acid – an ingredient that serves as both a preservative and a flavoring agent.
Celsius didn’t admit any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $7.8 million to resolve the false advertising class action lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement, consumers could receive up to $250 in reimbursement with proof of purchase or up to $20 without proof of purchase. Top Class Actions readers report receiving payments of up to $23.66 from the settlement.
The Celsius false advertising class action lawsuit is Hezi, et al. v. Celsius Holdings Inc., Case No. 1:21-CV-9892-VM, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
SquareTrade underpayment class action rebates
Top Class Actions readers report receiving payments from a class action lawsuit settlement with SquareTrade, resolving claims that it underpaid consumer claims under protection plans.
The settlement benefits consumers who submitted a claim for coverage under a SquareTrade protection plan and whose claim was resolved via a Fast Cash payment. The settlement also benefits consumers who submitted a claim for coverage under a SquareTrade protection plan, resolved the claim with a monetary payment and received less than the amount they should have due to a SKU-cap error.
According to the class action lawsuit, SquareTrade failed to sufficiently compensate consumers under their payment protection plans due to SKU-cap errors which applied a cap to the reimbursement offered. In addition, the company’s Fast Cash payment process allegedly returned replacement costs far below what is accurate — causing an additional source of underpayment.
SquareTrade didn’t admit any wrongdoing but agreed to a settlement to resolve the class action lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement, consumers could receive up to $35 without documentation but could receive higher payments with documentation. Top Class Actions Readers report receiving payments of up to $35 from the settlement.
The SquareTrade underpayment class action lawsuit is Shuman, et al. v. SquareTrade Inc., Case No. 3:20-CV-02725-JCS, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
Similac serving size settlement checks
Similac purchasers have started to receive payments from a $19.5 million class action lawsuit settlement with Abbott Laboratories over inflated serving labeling.
The settlement benefits consumers who purchase certain Similac products between June 24, 2016, and Sept. 22, 2022.
The Similac class action lawsuit claims that packaging for the formula brand overstates the total number of servings each container can make. In reality, the products allegedly make significantly less than promised — causing consumers to unknowingly overpay for less product.
Abbott Laboratories didn’t admit any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $19.5 million to resolve the class action lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement, consumers could receive up to $15 without proof of purchase or up to $45 with proof of purchase. Top Class Actions readers report receiving payments of $15.
The Similac false advertising class action lawsuit is Ramsey-Standage, et al. v. Abbott Laboratories, Case No. 22PH-CV00853, in the Circuit Court of Phelps County, Missouri.
Ibex data breach class action rebates
Top Class Actions readers report receiving payments from a $2.4 million class action lawsuit settlement over a 2020 Ibex data breach.
The settlement benefits individuals who received a data breach notification letter from Ibex informing them their personal identifying information may have been impacted by a data security incident that occurred between July 27, 2020, and Aug. 17, 2020.
According to the data breach class action lawsuit, Ibex failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures to prevent the 2020 data breach. As a result, consumer information was compromised, allegedly putting them at risk for fraud and other harm.
Under the terms of the settlement, victims of the data breach could receive up to $5,000 in reimbursement for data breach-related losses. These payments include fraudulent charges, identity theft damages, lost time payments and more. One Top Class Actions reader reported receiving a payment of $125.
The Ibex data breach class action lawsuit is Sanders, et al. v. Ibex Global Solutions Inc., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-00591-TNM, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Sterling Jewelers discrimination settlement checks
Sterling Jewelers employees are receiving payments from a $175 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that the jeweler discriminated against women.
The settlement benefits women who worked as part-time sales associates, full-time sales associates, department managers, assistant managers, assistant general managers, store managers or general managers at retail stores owned by Sterling Jewelers.
The Sterling Jewelers class action lawsuit claims that the jeweler discriminated against female workers by paying them less and denying them promotions. According to plaintiffs in the case, Sterling Jewelers violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the federal Equal Pay Act.
Sterling Jewelers agreed to resolve the class action lawsuit with a $125 million settlement payment fund. Under the terms of the settlement, consumers could receive a cash payment based on the number of years they worked for the company. Top Class Actions readers have reportedly started receiving payments from this settlement.
The Sterling Jewelers class action lawsuit is Jock, et al. V. Sterling Jewelers Inc., Case No. 08 civ. 2875, in the Southern District of New York, and Case No. 11-16-00655-08 (aaa), before the American Arbitration Association.
Labrada false advertising class action rebates
Top Class Actions readers report receiving payments from a $625,000 class action lawsuit settlement with Labrada over supplement false advertising.
The settlement benefits consumers who purchased Labrada Green Coffee Bean Extract or Labrada Garcinia Cambogia supplements in California between Feb. 2, 2012, and July 15, 2022.
According to the false advertising class action lawsuit, Labrada portrayed its supplements as fat-loss solutions. The supplements allegedly included claims such as “Fat Buster” and “Fat Loss Optimizer” that were purportedly backed by peer-reviewed studies. In reality, there was no support for these claims, the plaintiffs allege.
Labrada agreed to pay $625,000 to resolve the class action lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement, consumers could receive up to $50 with proof of purchase or up to $20 without proof of purchase. Top Class Actions readers reportedly received settlement payments of $18.08.
