As another month draws to a close, consumers can look back on Top Class Actions at the wide range of class action rebates made available in November.

Check out the list below to see if you qualify for any of this month’s class action settlement rebates. Readers can also find more class action rebates in Top Class Actions’ settlement directory.

California iPhone 4, 4S, 5 Power Button Class Action Settlement

Apple agreed to pay into a massive $20 million settlement to resolve claims that their iPhone 4, 4S, and 5 smartphones were manufactured with defective power buttons. The defective buttons allegedly stopped working or worked only intermittently even if the phones had only been in use for a year.

The settlement benefits consumers from California who purchased iPhone 4 smartphones between June 24, 2010 and Oct. 10, 2011 or iPhone 4S smartphones between Oct. 11, 2011 and Sept. 20, 2012, and whose power button on their iPhone stopped working within a year of purchasing.

The iPhone class action settlement also benefits Californians who purchased an iPhone 5 before April 1, 2013 who experienced issues with their power button within three years of purchasing.

If consumers have already had their defective power button repaired or replaced by Apple for free, they do not qualify for the settlement.

Each Class Member can recover up to $24 per device if they file a valid Claim Form by March 23, 2020.

North Carolina NRP Group Eviction Fees Class Action Settlement

The NRP Group in North Carolina has agreed to pay $425,000 to resolve class action allegations that they illegally charge eviction fees to their tenants. The tenants claimed that, if they did not pay their rent by the 10th of the month, NRP Management Group slammed them with excessive eviction fees including filing fees, service fees, and attorneys’ fees. These fees were allegedly unfair.

The settlement will benefit current and former residents of North Carolina properties owned by The NRP Group LLC, NRP Management, NRP North Carolina, NRP Partners, NRP Alston Village (also known as Falls Ponte at the Park), or NRP Alston Management.

Class Members must have received a collection letter between Sept. 6, 2014 and June 25, 2018 or they must have been charged eviction fees.

Eligible consumers are reportedly able to receive around $50 for each eviction letter, up to $150. If Class Members were forced to pay eviction fees, they will reportedly receive an estimated $1,225.

In order to receive eviction letter benefits, consumers must file a valid Claim Form by Dec. 23, 2019. Individuals who were charged eviction fees will automatically benefit from the settlement.

Range Rover Suspension Defect Class Action Settlement

Jaguar Land Rover has agreed to pay $6.7 million into a settlement fund to resolve claims that certain Range Rovers were sold with defective suspensions.

A defect in the suspensions’ air springs allegedly causes a loss of air pressure and subsequent difficulties keeping the vehicles in control.

Under the settlement, consumers will be able to recover benefits if they are current or former owners or lessees of 2003 to 2006 Land Rover Range Rovers.

The amount each consumer can recover will depend on the mileage range of their vehicle at the time of repairs, with consumers receiving up to $500 in reimbursement for expenses.

Consumers who wish to recover benefits need to file a valid Claim Form within 90 days of the final approval hearing, or by May 3, 2020.

Rossi Revolver Drop Fire Gun Defect Class Action Settlement

A $38 million settlement between consumers and Forjas Taurus will resolve claims that Rossi revolvers can fire if they are dropped.

The “drop fire” defect is allegedly caused by a failure of the internal safety feature and failure to prevent accidental firing from hammer spur impact if the gun is dropped or jostled.

The settlement benefits consumers who purchased Rossi .38 Special and .357 Revolver models manufactured between Jan. 1, 2005 and Dec. 31, 2017, and who owned the guns as of March 15, 2019. The affected guns can reportedly be identified with serial numbers beginning with letters A through K, Y, or Z.

Under the settlement, consumers are able to receive $50 in cash, in addition to inspection, cleaning, and repair of their revolver. In order to receive benefits, consumers need to use their gun’s serial number to file a valid claim by Oct. 22, 2020.

Nissan Altima CVT Class Action Settlement

Nissan has agreed to a settlement that will provide various non-cash benefits to consumers who purchased Nissan Altima vehicles equipped with defective transmissions.

The powertrain defects allegedly caused the vehicles to fail prematurely – evidenced by shuddering, unexpected power surges, hesitation, stalling, and various noises.

The settlement will benefit consumers who purchased or leased a 2013 to 2016 Nissan Altima equipped with a continuously variable transmission.

Under the settlement, consumers are able to get a warranty extension, repairs reimbursement, and a $1,000 voucher towards the purchase of a new vehicle. In order to receive these benefits, Class Members need to file a valid Claim Form by Jan. 30, 2020.

Nissan Transmission Class Action Settlement

Along the same line, Nissan has also agreed to a settlement to resolve transmission claims regarding their Sentra, Versa or Versa Note vehicles. The consumers claim that the transmission defect can cause vehicles to jerk and shake while being driven – causing one plaintiff to lose control of their vehicle in the middle of a five lane freeway.

The settlement benefits consumers who purchased or leased a 2013 to 2017 Nissan Sentra, 2014 to 2017 Nissan Versa Note, or a 2012 to 2017 Nissan Versa vehicle that was equipped with a continuously variable transmission.

Like the other Nissan settlement, this class action settlement will provide warranty extensions, repairs reimbursement, and a $1,000 voucher. In order to receive benefits under this settlement, consumers need to file a valid Claim Form by Jan. 30, 2020 or 30 days after a qualifying transmission repair – whichever is later.

Spectracide Concentrate Herbicide Class Action Settlement

United Industries has agreed to a $2.5 million settlement to resolve claims that their Spectracide herbicides are mislabeled as “concentrated.”

A Spectracide class action claimed that the products are not as effective when diluted and that they are intended to be used undiluted, meaning they should not be labeled as concentrated.

The settlement benefits any consumers who purchased Spectracide herbicide products between Sept. 21, 2013 and Nov. 1, 2019.

The settlement allows consumers to collect $6.25 per eligible product, with up to four claims (or $25 in compensation) per household. In order to recover these class action rebates, consumers need to file a valid Claim Form by Jan. 20, 2020.

Ohio CVS HIV Class Action Settlement

CVS Pharmacy has agreed to pay $4.4 million to resolve claims that their transparent envelope windows inadvertently revealed certain Ohio residents’ HIV status.

The envelopes were reportedly sent to consumers after they participated in the state’s HIV drug assistance program. The transparent windows on these envelopes allegedly showed their name, address, and a billing code that indicated their HIV status to anyone who looked at the envelopes’ fronts.

The CVS settlement benefits consumers who received such a letter from the Ohio Department of Health that revealed their HIV status through a transparent window in August 2017.

Consumers are reportedly able to recover an automatic payment of $400 in addition to up to $10,000 for financial injuries and up to $2,500 for non-financial injuries. In order to receive these benefits, consumers need to file a valid Claim Form by Dec. 20, 2019.

It’s Just Lunch Matchmaking Class Action Settlement

It’s Just Lunch, a matchmaking service, has agreed to a settlement worth $60 million to resolve claims that their services were overpriced considering the poor outcomes.

The matches were allegedly not made by real professionals and failed to consider dating preferences, resulting in consumers being overcharged for what they got.

The settlement benefits consumers who joined It’s Just Lunch after Oct. 15, 2001 and the same consumers from New York who paid more than $1,000 for a year of services.

Under the settlement, consumers can recover a cash payment of at least $14.44 or a voucher for $450 in It’s Just Lunch services. New York consumers are eligible for an additional $200 cash payment.

Consumers need to file a valid Claim Form by Dec. 10, 2019 in order to receive benefits.

Younique Moodstruck Fiber Lashes Class Action Settlement

Younique has agreed to pay $3.25 million to resolve claims that their Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes mascara was deceptively marketed as consisting of “100% Natural Green Tea Fibers.” Instead, the mascara allegedly contains shredded nylon fibers.

The settlement benefits consumers who purchased the Moodstruck mascara between October 2012 and July 2015 while living in California, Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, or Washington.

The settlement provides an equal share of the settlement fund for all consumers who file a valid Claim Form by Jan. 21, 2020. Payment amounts will depend on the number of valid claims filed.

Bank of America Overdraft Fees Class Action Settlement

Bank of America has agreed to pay $4.95 million to resolve claims that they deceptively charged overdraft fees. The fees were allegedly charged on one time, non-recurring debit card transactions in violation of company policies.

The settlement benefits Bank of America customers who were charged overdraft fees on non-recurring charges from Lyft, Grubhub, Gett, Eatstreet, PicMonkey, Neighborfavor, AMI Entertainment Network, Seamless, Doordash, Postmates, and/or Eat24 between Jan. 1, 2012 and April 6, 2017.

Tarte High-Performance Naturals Class Action Settlement

Cosmetic company Tarte has agreed to pay $1.7 million to resolve claims that their High-Performance Naturals cosmetics are marketed as all natural despite containing synthetic ingredients.

The skincare and cosmetic products allegedly contain butylene glycol, glycerin, phenoxyethanol and other synthetic ingredients despite being marketed to consumers as all natural.

The settlement benefits consumers who purchased High-Performance Naturals cosmetics and skincare products between Nov. 13, 2013 and Jan. 21, 2020.

Consumers who have proof of purchase can recover a full refund of their purchase. Without proof of purchase, consumers can collect $5 per product, up to 10 products. In order to receive payments, consumers need to file a valid Claim Form by Jan. 21, 2020.

Sunrise Detox Text Message Class Action Settlement

Sunrise Detox has agreed to pay $500,000 to resolve claims that they sent unsolicited text messages to consumers. According to consumers, the rehab center violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act because they did not get consumer consent before sending telemarketing texts.

The settlement benefits consumers who received text messages from Sunrise Detox around Oct. 30, 2018 which were sent using the Textedly platform.

Class Members will be able to recover payments of $61.97 if they file a valid Claim Form by Dec. 18, 2019.
