Tyco Fire water contamination settlement checks
Readers have started to receive payments from a $17.5 million settlement with Tyco Fire Products over water contamination allegations.
The settlement benefits people who owned or lived in a property within the area of Peshtigo, Wisconsin, bounded on the north by University Drive, on the south by Heath Lane, on the west by Roosevelt Road and on the east by the Bay of Green Bay for at least one year between Jan. 1, 1965, and Dec. 31, 2020.
Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit claim Tyco Fire Products’ testing at its Ansul Fire Technology Center contaminated the local soil and groundwater with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, chemicals. PFAS are associated with serious health issues, including birth defects and cancer.
Tyco Fire agreed to pay $17.5 million to resolve the PFAS contamination class action lawsuit. Claimants could receive thousands of dollars for exposure and tens of thousands of dollars for property ownership. After receiving checks worth over $1,000 a year and a half ago, Top Class Actions readers recently received a second distribution of $717.

According to the class action lawsuit, Veriff violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) by collecting facial geometry scans for identity verification. BIPA requires companies to provide certain disclosures and obtain consumer consent, both of which Veriff allegedly failed to do.

In February 2022, Idelle Labs recalled Brut and Sure antiperspirant products after testing revealed that the products contained “unexpected” levels of benzene, a human carcinogen. Plaintiffs in the class action lawsuit claim they wouldn’t have purchased the products if they knew the truth about the benzene contamination.

The settlement benefits consumers who made a purchase on Sephora’s website between March 1, 2015, and June 30, 2021, that was shipped to Missouri where Sephora charged a tax rate higher than Missouri’s tax rate.
According to the class action lawsuit, Sephora violated Missouri law by charging a higher sales tax than that allowed by Missouri regulations. This increased tax rate allegedly caused financial injury to Missouri customers.

Plaintiffs in the debt collection class action lawsuit claim Great Lakes Educational Loan Services placed excessive debt-collection calls to consumers. These calls, which were made to contact consumers more than twice within a seven-day period, allegedly violated Massachusetts’ debt-collection regulations and other state laws.
The federal loan servicer agreed to pay $1.275 million to resolve the debt collection class action lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement, class members could receive an equal share of the net settlement fund.

According to the class action lawsuit, Keurig violated antitrust laws by monopolizing the single-serve coffee pod market. This monopoly allegedly allowed Keurig to raise and fix the price of K-Cup pods.
