Class action settlement checks have been sent out in four lawsuits have been sent to consumers affected by false advertising and Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) violations.
Bargain Hunt FACTA Settlement Checks
Top Class Actions readers are reporting settlement checks of $100 from a $2 million Bargain Hunt class action settlement payout.
The settlement benefits consumers who purchased products from a Bargain Hunt store between Aug. 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017, and received a receipt which listed more than the last five digits of their card number.
Plaintiffs in the Bargain Hunt class action lawsuit claimed the bargain store violated the federal FACTA with its electronically printed receipts. FACTA allows only the last five digits of a payment card number to be shown on receipts. Bargain Hunt allegedly violated these requirements by printing receipts showing the first six and last four digits of payment card numbers.
Bargain Hunt did not admit any wrongdoing but agreed to resolve the FACTA class action lawsuit with a $2 million settlement.
The FACTA settlement distributed $200,000 of the settlement amongst Class Members with payments capped at $100 per claimant. TCA readers reportedly received maximum payments of $100 from this settlement deal.
In order to receive a payment, Class Members needed to submit a valid claim form by July 12, 2021.
Plaintiffs and Class Members in the case are represented by Charles Austin Gower Jr. and Shaun Patrick O’Hara of Charles A. Gower PC, Chant Yedalian of Chant & Company PLC, and William Dixon James of Wm. Dixon James PC.
The Bargain Hunt Class Action Lawsuit is Nowe, et al. v. Essex Technology Group LLC, Case No. SC-2020-CV-694 in the Muscogee County State Court of the State of Georgia.
Godiva FACTA Class Action Rebates
Payments ranging from $30 to over $150 are in the mail from another FACTA class action settlement — a $6.3 million deal with Godiva.
The settlement benefits consumers who made a purchase at a Godiva store between April 6, 2013, and Nov. 20, 2015, and received a receipt which showed more than the last five digits of a payment card number.
According to the Godiva class action lawsuit, the chocolatier violated FACTA by printing the first six and last four digits of payment card numbers on consumer receipts. The plaintiffs in the case contend that these receipts put them at risk for identity theft and fraud.
Godiva agreed to pay $6.3 million to resolve these allegations but did not admit any wrongdoing.Â
Under the terms of the settlement, Class Members were projected to receive between $55 and $60. Final payment amounts varied, with some Top Class Actions readers receiving payments as low as $32 or as high as $162.
In order to receive a payment, Class Members were required to submit a valid claim form by March 22, 2021.
The settlement Class is represented by lawyers from Keogh Law Ltd, Scott D. Owens PA, and Bret Lusskin PA.
The Godiva FACTA Class Action Lawsuit is David S. Muransky, et al. v. Godiva Chocolatier Inc., Case No. 2020CH07156 in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, County Department, Chancery Division.
Guinness Class Action Settlement Checks
Top Class Actions readers received payments of up to $5 from a false advertising settlement with Guiness.
The settlement benefited consumers who purchased six-pack or 12-pack cases of Guinness Extra Stout Beer in Massachusetts between Dec. 15, 2011, and Sept. 3, 2015.
According to the Guinness class action lawsuit, Guinness Extra Stout Beer was falsely advertised as being produced in and imported from Ireland. Despite these advertising claims, the beer is allegedly produced in Canada. Consumers say they paid a higher price for Guinness Extra Stout Beer based on the false representations.
Under the terms of the settlement, Class Members were eligible to receive $0.50 per six-pack and $1.00 per 12-pack purchased. Payments were capped at $10 without proof of purchase or at $20 with proof of purchase. TCA readers reported receiving payments of $4 or $5 from the settlement.
In order to receive these payments, Class Members needed to submit a valid claim form by Oct. 26, 2021.
Class Members in the Guinness settlement are represented by Kevin McCullough of Forrest Mazow Mccullough Yasi & Yasi PC.
The Guinness False Ad Class Action Lawsuit is O’Hara, et al. v. Diageo Beer Company USA, et al., Civil Action No. 1:15-cv-14139-MLW in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts.
TULA Class Action Rebates
Payments of $4 are being reported in a $5 million TULA class action settlement alleging the skincare company misrepresented their products as containing live probiotics.
The settlement Class included consumers who purchased TULA Life skincare products between Jan. 1, 2013, and Aug. 30, 2021.
According to the TULA class action lawsuit, the company falsely advertised its products as containing live probiotic cultures. In reality, the products did not contain live probiotics, the plaintiffs contend. These false claims allegedly caused consumers to pay more for cleansers, serums, scrubs, and creams sold by TULA.
TULA Life didn’t admit to any wrongdoing but agreed to resolve the class action lawsuit with a $5 million settlement.
Under the terms of the settlement, Class Members could receive a 10 percent refund on all purchases made on TULA products or a flat $4 payment — whichever was greater. Payments were capped at $25 when proof of purchase was provided. Without proof of purchase, Class Members could receive a $4 payment.Â
Top Class Actions readers have reported receiving $4 payments from this settlement.
Plaintiffs and Class Members in the settlement are represented by Philip L. Fraietta, L. Timothy Fisher, and Brittany S. Scott of Bursor & Fisher PA and Nick Suciu III of Barbat Mansour Suciu & Tomina PLLC.
The TULA Life Class Action Lawsuit is Morrissey, et al. v. TULA Life Inc., Case No. 2021L000646 in the Circuit Court of Dupage County, Illinois, 18th Judicial District.
