1800 Contacts Class Action Settlement

California consumers who called or received a telephone call from 1-800 Contacts Inc. between 2011 and 2012 have until Nov. 14, 2013, to participate in a class action settlement over claims the company secretly recorded the phone calls.

The 1-800 Contacts settlement is part of a class action lawsuit (Reed v. 1-800 Contacts) alleging the company recorded telephone calls received from or placed to California in violation of California law. The company denies the allegations but has agreed to pay $11.7 million into a class action settlement fund to compensate consumers and resolve the litigation.

Class Members of the 1-800 Contacts settlement include anyone who, while present in California, participated in at least one recorded telephone call with 1-800 Contacts Inc. between Aug. 15, 2011, and Sept. 10, 2012.

Class Members who submit a valid Claim Form postmarked no later than Nov. 14, 2013, will receive a pro rata share of the class action settlement after payment of attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses, a service payment to the plaintiff, and the costs of administration. Claim filing instructions can be found below.

A Final Approval Hearing will be held Dec. 16, 2013.

The case is Reed v. 1-800 Contacts Inc., Case No. 12-cv-02359-JM-BGS, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.

    I noticed that there have been few people stating that they have received checks,not good should be more recipients than this!!!!!!!!

    1. julie says:

      the claim form wasn’t even posted until this site until two days before it was due. those of us who received a claim form had it since September. it would make sense that most of the 13,000 people who got a check aren’t active on this website. If there were, someone would have notified the staff about posting it on here.

  2. DEELO says:

    mailed in appropriate claim form in northern California and never received a check. sent an email and was told they never received my claim form. Likely story as this is the second time this has happened
