It’s only a little more than month into the new year, but 2015 is already shaping up to be a big one for class action settlement payouts.
Top Class Actions viewers are reporting they’ve received checks from four popular class action settlements involving FitFlop, Emergen-C, Big 5 Sporting Goods and Arctic Glacier/Reddy Ice. Payments ranged from $6 to $73.25 on average — a nice way to kick off 2015!
FitFlop Class Action Settlement
The FitFlop class action settlement was one of the most popular settlements with Top Class Actions viewers in 2014. The case involved allegations that the companies behind FitFlop Footwear deceptively advertised the health and fitness benefits of wearing the specially designed sandals, shoes, clogs and sneakers.
Consumers who purchased FitFlop Footwear from Jan. 1, 2007 to Jan. 8, 2014 were eligible to claim between $25 and $100 from the class action settlement. Most viewers reported receiving checks worth $73.25 this week.
The FitFlop Class Action Lawsuit is Rosales v. FitFlop USA LLC, Case No. 3:11-cv-973-W-KSC, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.
Emergen-C Class Action Settlement
Consumers who purchased Emergen-C products between June 1, 2006 and Feb. 27, 2012 were eligible to participate in a $6.45 million class action settlement reached early last year.
The Emergen-C class action settlement resolves allegations that manufacturer Alacer Corp. made misleading statements in its marketing, advertising and packaging for the products about the immunity-, energy- and metabolism-related benefits provided by Emergen-C.
Most of our viewers reported receiving checks worth $36 from the Emergen-C settlement toward the end of January.
The Emergen-C Class Action Lawsuit is Crystle Wong v. Alacer Corp., Case No. CGC-12-519221, in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco.
Big 5 Sporting Goods Class Action Settlement
Big 5 Sporting Goods reached a class action settlement last summer over allegations that store clerks illegally requested customers’ ZIP codes during credit card transactions. California law prohibits companies from requesting personal identification information in connection with credit card purchases.
Consumers who made credit card purchases at a California Big 5 store between Feb. 14, 2007 and Feb. 23, 2011, and who were asked to provide their ZIP code and/or other personal information were eligible to claim a $10 merchandise voucher or a $25 gift card. Viewers reported receiving vouchers and gift cards from the Big 5 Sporting Goods class action settlement this week.
The Big 5 Sporting Goods Class Action Lawsuit is Big 5 Sporting Goods Song-Beverly Cases, Case No. JCCP4667, in California Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles.
Packaged Ice Antitrust Class Action Settlement
Consumers who purchased Reddy Ice, Arctic Glacier Ice and other specific brands of packaged ice from Jan. 1, 2001 to March 6, 2008 were eligible to claim a cash award of $6 without proof of purchase, or more with proof of purchase, from the packaged ice antitrust class action settlement. Checks were mailed this week.
Arctic Glacier Inc. and Reddy Ice Corp. were among several defendants who settled allegations they violated U.S. antitrust law by conspiring to raise, fix, maintain or stabilize the price of packaged ice and/or allocate markets and customers. Plaintiffs alleged the conspiracy caused consumers to pay more for packaged ice than they would have if the alleged illegal conduct had not occurred.
Class Members included all individuals and businesses who purchased Packaged Ice from the defendants from a retailer in Arizona, California, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Tennessee, and/or Wisconsin.
The Packaged Ice Antitrust Class Action Lawsuit is In re Packaged Ice Antitrust Litigation, No. 07-md-1952, Eastern District of Michigan.
