Tempur Sealy International Leaked Customer Info, Plaintiff Claims

A class action lawsuit claims a data breach at Tempur Sealy International leaked customer info. Lawyers are now investigating potential claims by consumers allegedly impacted by the breach. If you or a loved one were impacted by a 2017 Tempur Sealy data breach, you may have a legal claim.

In June of 2017, plaintiff Michelle P. claims, she made two online purchases from Tempur Sealy — one on April 11, 2016, and another on June 16, 2016. In April of 2017, she allegedly received a written notice from Tempur Sealy that the company had experienced a data breach.

Michelle goes on to state that she then checked her bank statements, and saw that she had been charged for at least one fraudulent charge made on April 22, 2016.

She claims that had she known that Tempur Sealy International was vulnerable to a security breach, she would not have used her debit card to make the purchases. She claims that Tempur Sealy and the company that hosted its website, Aptos, did not take sufficient steps to ensure data security and waited two months to tell clients, including Tempur Sealy, about the data breach.

Michelle went on to claim that after April 2017, Tempur Sealy International then waited another two months to notify its customers of the data breach. In its communications with consumers, Tempur Sealy allegedly reported that customers’ name, address, email address, phone number, account numbers, card numbers, and expiration date were exposed in the breach.

Allegedly, the companies have yet to reveal the full nature of the breach, including the full extent of the breach, the number of customers affected, and the time frame in which the records were stolen.

Michelle argues that the exposure of personal information constitutes a concrete injury, because it can have significant impacts on an individual’s future — they can lose money from having bank account information stolen, have their credit reduced, and other consequences. Michele argues that personal information constitutes a form of “intangible property.”

On behalf of herself and other similarly affected consumers, Michelle seeks damages to compensate for injury done as a result of the breach, as well as relief to help prevent a future data breach. The Tempur Sealy International class action lawsuit claims Tempur Sealy International and Aptos were guilty of breach of implied contract, negligence, unjust enrichment, and violating consumer protection statues.

She claims that neither Tempur Sealy, Aptos, nor her bank reimbursed her for fraudulent charges to her account.

According to the Tempur Sealy International data breach class action lawsuit, “had [Tempur Sealy and Aptos] provided timely and accurate notice, [consumers and the companies] could have avoided or mitigated the harm done by the data breach.”

If you or a loved one were impacted by the Tempur Sealy International data breach reported in 2017, you may have a legal claim. You may be able to recuperate damages that can ease the strain of financial or emotional injury done by having your information exposed. Currently, lawyers are investigating potential claims by former Tempur Sealy customers.

The Tempur Sealy International Class Action Lawsuit is Case No. 1:17-cv-02120-ELR in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
