On the Hardy home front the girls have been bouncier than ever! They were SUPER excited on Sunday when my parents had breakfast with us and experienced the chaos of taking the girls to Target! The girls had fun playing on the outdoor furniture; they attempted to convince a Target worker to let them jump in a box of Easter eggs (unsuccessfully) and then pushed toy shopping carts around the toy aisles while taking care of their new baby dolls. Target’s an adventure! It was great to see my parents and my girls were sad to see them leave. The girls also lucked out and received Easter baskets from Grandma and Grandpa so it was a SUPER special day.
On the class action side of things I’m wrapping up new agreements with new law firms and you’ll see some new cases coming in the next few weeks. I’m excited! On to the other class action and lawsuit updates!

Update from the Senior Editor / VP of Operations
Good morning, everyone! I’m filling in for Scott Hardy again to allow him and his beautiful wife time to celebrate her birthday. Cheers to her big day :)
In our quest to find every consumer class action settlement we can get our hands on, we’ve uncovered quite a few big ones, which we’ve reported above. We also have some news for those of you following the eMachines floppy disk class action settlement, OfficeMax ZIP code class action settlement, and Kashi false advertising class action lawsuit.
eMachines has extended the cash option deadline for consumers who filed a claim for the floppy disk settlement. Class Members now have until Dec. 1, 2013, to request a cash redemption.
On Thursday, a federal judge preliminarily approved a revised class action settlement over claims that OfficeMax illegally collected ZIP codes during debit and credit card transactions. The original settlement was rejected in July. A separate class action lawsuit involving claims that Kashi falsely advertised its food products as “all natural” now includes dozens of products. We’ll update you when and if claim filing instructions become available for both cases.
Here are more class action updates:
