$2.45M Panda Restaurant Group data breach class action settlement

Panda Restaurant Group agreed to pay $2.45 million as part of a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims surrounding a 2023 data breach.

The Panda Express settlement benefits individuals who received a data breach notice from Panda Restaurant Group informing them that their information may have been compromised in a March 2023 data breach.

According to the data breach class action lawsuit, Panda Restaurant Group failed to prevent a 2023 data breach that compromised sensitive consumer information, such as Social Security numbers. The breach was allegedly the result of Panda’s failure to implement reasonable cybersecurity measures.

Panda Restaurant Group is the parent company of Panda Express, a fast-casual restaurant chain with locations across the country.

Panda Restaurant Group has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $2.45 million class action settlement to resolve the data breach allegations.

Under the terms of the Panda Express data breach settlement, class members can receive up to $5,000 for documented data breach losses. These losses may include bank fees, fraudulent charges and credit monitoring costs.

Class members can also receive a pro rata cash payment of $100 from the settlement. California class members can receive an additional statutory payment of up to $125.

All class members can receive three years of free credit monitoring from the settlement.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is March 23, 2026.

The final approval hearing for the Panda Express data breach settlement is scheduled for April 20, 2026.

To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by April 10, 2026.
