AGRINEXT FUND INC: Jackson Sues Over Blind-Inaccessible Website
---------------------------------------------------------------
Sylinia Jackson, on behalf of herself and all other persons
similarly situated v. AGRINEXT FUND INC., Case No. 1:25-cv-07553
(S.D.N.Y., Sept. 11, 2025), is brought against the Defendants for
its failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its website
to be fully and equally accessible to and independently usable by
Plaintiff and other blind or visually impaired people.
The Defendant's denial of full and equal access to its website, and
therefore denial of its services offered thereby, is a violation of
the Plaintiff's rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Because the Defendant's website,
https://oleyhealthandwellness.com/, including all portions thereof
or accessed thereon (collectively, the "Website" or "Defendant's
website"), is not equally accessible to blind and visually-impaired
consumers, it violates the ADA. The Plaintiff seeks a permanent
injunction to cause a change in the Defendant's corporate policies,
practices, and procedures so that the Defendant's website will
become and remain accessible to blind and visually-impaired
consumers.
By failing to make its Website available in a manner compatible
with computer screen reader programs, the Defendant deprives blind
and visually-impaired individuals the benefits of its online goods,
content, and services--all benefits it affords nondisabled
individuals--thereby increasing the sense of isolation and stigma
among those persons that Title III was meant to redress, says the
complaint.
The Plaintiff is a visually-impaired and legally blind person who
requires screen-reading software to read website content using her
computer.
AGRINEXT FUND INC., operates the Oley Health and Wellness online
retail store, as well as the Oley Health and Wellness interactive
Website and advertises, markets, and operates in the State of New
York and throughout the United States.[BN]

AMAZON.COM INC: Parties Seek OK of Limited Sealing Request

compelling reasons exist to redact an additional statement in the

BEACH ENERGY CLASS ACTION NOTICE OF REGISTRATION AND OPT-OUT
This is an important notice about the BEACH ENERGY CLASS ACTION.
The Supreme Court of Victoria in Australia has ordered that a
Registration and Opt-Out Notice be published to group members who
have acquired AMERICAN DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS that represent ordinary
shares in BEACH ENERGY LIMITED (Beach), listed on the Australian
Securities Exchange (ASX). The Beach Energy Class Action has been
brought on behalf of those group members and their legal rights may
be affected by the action.
You can access the Registration and Opt-Out Notice at Slater and
Gordon's website at:
https://www.slatergordon.com.au/class-actions/current-class-actions/beach-energy-limited-class-action
Or the Supreme Court of Victoria's website at:
https://www.supremecourt.vic.gov.au/areas/group-proceedings/beach-energy/opting-out
THE REGISTRATION AND OPT-OUT NOTICE IS IMPORTANT,
THE NOTICE REQUIRES YOU TO REVIEW AND TAKE STEPS BY
NOVEMBER 7, 2025 PLEASE READ THE NOTICE CAREFULLY, AS IT MAY AFFECT
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS,
You should read the Notice of Registration and Opt-Out before
deciding what to do. This publication is not a substitute for the
Notice of Registration and Opt-Out, and you should read that Notice
on Slater and Gordon's website carefully as it may affect your
legal rights.
WHAT IS THE BEACH ENERGY CLASS ACTION ABOUT?
The class action claims that Beach engaged in misleading or
deceptive conduct and breached its continuous disclosure
obligations to the market as a company listed on the ASX.
The class action alleges that, because of this conduct, group
members who acquired ordinary shares, AMERICAN DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS
or long exposure to Beach shares by entering into equity swaps,
paid more than would have been the case had Beach complied with its
obligations. Beach denies these allegations.
AM I ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE?
You may be a Group Member in this class action if between
August 17, 2020 to April 29, 2021 (inclusive) you acquired, or
entered into a contract to acquire, any of the following:
* ordinary shares in Beach traded on the ASX (ASX: BPT); or
* AMERICAN DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS that represent ordinary shares
in Beach; or
* long exposure to Beach shares by entering into equity swap
confirmations in respect of Beach shares.
WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?
If you wish to participate in any settlement, or opt-out of this
proceeding, YOU MUST TAKE ACTION BY 4:00 PM (AEDT) NOVEMBER 7,
2025.
1. OPTION 1 - REGISTER. You must register by 4:00 p.m. (AEDT) on
7November 7, 2025 to be eligible to receive any compensation if
there is a settlement reached on or before 21 September 2026. You

https://
www.slatergordon.com.au/class-actions/current-class-actions/beach-energy-limited-class-action.
2. OPTION 2 - OPT OUT. If you do not want your rights determined
by the Beach Class Action, you must opt out by 4:00 p.m. (AEDT)
November 7, 2025. If you opt out, your claim will not be resolved
as part of the Beach Class Action but you may pursue such rights as
you may have independently. You can opt out at
https://www.supremecourt.vic.gov.au/areas/group-proceedings/beach-energy/opting-out
3. OPTION 3 - DO NOTHING. If you do nothing, you will remain a
Group Member in the Beach Class Action but, subject to further
order of the Court, you will not be permitted to participate in any
settlement reached on or before September 21, 2026. You will be
bound by any settlement reached but will not be able to seek any
benefit under that settlement. This means that your right to bring
a claim against Beach (and potentially its related entities and
officers) for matters related to those canvassed in the Beach Class
Action will be extinguished.
WHO SHOULD CONTACT FOR MORE INFORMATION?

CONTINENTAL TIRE: Slattery Sues to Recover Unpaid Overtime
----------------------------------------------------------
Tony Slattery, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. CONTINENTAL TIRE THE AMERICAS, LLC, an Ohio limited
liability company, Case No. 5:25-cv-01923 (N.D. Ohio, Sept. 11,
2025), is brought to recover unpaid overtime compensation,
liquidated damages, attorney's fees, costs, and other relief as
appropriate under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA").
The Plaintiff's most recent rate of pay was $34.47. In addition to
the base rate of pay, Defendant incorporated various types of
routine and non-discretionary pay into its compensation structure.
For example, Defendant provided Plaintiff and others with Annual
Bonus pay (ValShar) and Performance Bonus (PayPerf) pay
(collectively "bonus pay").
Throughout Plaintiff's employment with Defendant, Defendant failed
to properly calculate Plaintiff's bonus pay and other
non-discretionary remuneration in the regular rate for proper
overtime rate calculation. Throughout Plaintiff's employment with
Defendant, he earned bonus pay and other non-discretionary
remuneration. As non-exempt employees, Defendant's Hourly Employees
were entitled to full compensation for all overtime hours worked at
a rate of 1.5 times their "regular rate" of pay, says the
complaint.
The Plaintiff was employed by Defendant from December 2017 through
August 2025 as a non-exempt, hourly employee.
The Defendant has its office location in Fairlawn, Ohio, and
employs thousands of hourly employees in numerous states throughout
the United States.[BN]

PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY.
YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE AFFECTED BY THE ACTION AND THE PROPOSED

approval of the Court, as provided in a Stipulation and Agreement
of Settlement, Compromise, and Release dated August 21, 2025 (the
"Stipulation"). Under the terms of the proposed Settlement, UBS
will receive $115,000,000 (United States Dollars), together with
any interest earned on the payment and less any deductions for
attorneys' fees and expenses for Plaintiff's Counsel and any
applicable taxes and tax expenses.
A more detailed description of the Settlement terms, as well as a

Settlement of Stockholder Derivative Action (the "Notice"). The
Notice and the Stipulation are publicly available on the "Investor
Relations" section of UBS's website,
https://www.ubs.com/global/en/investor-relations.html, and on

Plaintiff's Counsel have adequately represented the interests of
the Company and its stockholders; (ii) determine whether the
proposed Settlement on the terms and conditions provided for in the
Stipulation is fair, reasonable, and adequate to the Company and
its stockholders, and should be approved by the Court; (iii)
determine whether a Judgment (substantially in the form attached as

the Settlement.
The Settlement Hearing may be adjourned by the Court without
further written notice to Company stockholders. In addition, the
Court may decide to conduct the Settlement Hearing remotely by

and stockholders are not required to take any action in response to
this notice.

services for Defendants without reimbursing Plaintiffs for those
monies. Defendants did not require Plaintiffs to fill out any
hiring paperwork or tax forms, nor did they provide them with a
Wage Notice and Acknowledgement as required by NYLL, says the
complaint.
The Plaintiff worked for the Defendants as a private chef and
server.
The Defendants employed Plaintiffs out of their home located in New

EARL'S RESTAURANT: Espinoza Sues Over Discriminative Website
------------------------------------------------------------
Alejandro Espinoza, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated v. EARL'S RESTAURANT (MIAMI WORLDCENTER, FL)
INC., a Florida Profit Corporation D/B/A EARLS KITCHEN + BAR, Case
No. 1:25-cv-24105-XXXX (S.D. Fla., Sept. 9, 2025), is brought under
the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), as a result of the
Defendant's discriminative website.
The Defendant was and still is an organization owning and operating
the website located at https://earls.ca/. Since the website is open
through the internet to the public as an extension of the retail
stores, by this nexus the website is an intangible service,
privilege and advantage of Defendant's brick and mortar locations,
the Defendant has subjected itself and the associated website it
created and maintains to the requirements of the ADA. The website
also services Defendant's physical stores by providing information
on its brand and other information that Defendant is interested in
communicating to its customers about its physical locations.
Although the Website appeared to have an "accessibility" statement
displayed and an "accessibility" widget/plugin added, the
"accessibility" statement and widget/plugin, when tested, still
could not be effectively accessed by, and continued to be a barrier
to, blind and visually disabled persons, including Plaintiff as a
completely blind person. Plaintiff, although she attempted to
access the statement, thus, was unable to receive any meaningful or
prompt assistance through the "accessibility" statement and the
widget/plugin to enable her to quickly, fully, and effectively
navigate the Website, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff uses the computer regularly, but due to his visual
disability, Plaintiff cannot use his computer without the
assistance of appropriate and available auxiliary aids, screen
reader software, and other technology and assistance.
EARLS KITCHEN, is a company that sells sushi, salads, soups,
noodles, bowls, pizza, burgers, chicken, salmon, crab cakes, ribs,
steaks, taco, desserts, benedicts, omelets, and drinks. There is a
retail location in Miami-Dade County.[BN]

FCA US: Appeals Tossed Class Decertification Bid in Soares Suit
---------------------------------------------------------------
FCA US LLC is taking a cross appeal from a court order denying its
motion to decertify the class in the lawsuit entitled Mario Soares,
et al., individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiffs, v. FCA US LLC, et al., Defendants, Case No.
1:20-cv-11810-ADB, in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Massachusetts.
The complaint is brought against the Defendants for design,
manufacturing, and distribution of vehicles with defective active
head restraint (AHR).
On Aug. 18, 2023, Plaintiff Soares filed a motion to modify class
definition.
On Sept. 1, 2023, Defendant FCA US LLC filed a motion to decertify
the class.
On Oct. 20, 2023, Judge Allison D. Burroughs denied the Defendant's
motion to decertify class and granted in part and denied in part
the Plaintiff's motion to modify class definition.
The class definition shall be modified to: All persons in
Massachusetts who currently own or lease a Class Vehicle
manufactured by FCA or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates that
is equipped with an AHR system and who have not received two free
replacement AHRs under FCA US's extended warranty program after
September 1, 2017.
The Court finds that it is appropriate to apply the majority
"substantially similar" test, and having previously held in
certifying the class that Soares had "presented sufficient evidence
that the AHR system and design was uniform across all Class
Vehicles, regardless of how the defect manifested," the Court finds
substantial similarity between the vehicle Soares owned and the
other Class Vehicles for purposes of standing. The Plaintiff thus
has standing to bring claims based on Class Vehicles he did not buy
or lease but which had AHR systems identical to his at the time the
vehicle was leased or purchased. The Court otherwise finds that the
modified class definition meets the requirements of numerosity,
commonality, typicality, adequacy, predominance, and superiority
for the reasons stated in the Court's class certification order.
The appellate case is entitled Soares v. FCA US LLC, Case No.
25-1859, in the United States Court of Appeals for the First
Circuit, filed on September 9, 2025. [BN]

FPG LABS: Court Dismisses Klosowski Class Action
------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as RACHEL KLOSOWSKI, et al.,
v. FPG LABS, LLC d/b/a OVATION FERTILITY, US GENETIC LAB, LLC d/b/a
OVATION GENETICS, et al., Case No. 1:24-cv-01210-MN (D. Del.), the
Hon. Judge Noreika grants without prejudice the Defendants' motions
to dismiss the Class Action Complaint.
Pursuant to their request, the Plaintiffs may attempt to replead.
An appropriate order will follow, the Court says.
Accordingly, the Court finds that the Plaintiffs have failed to
adequately allege Article III standing and will grant the motion to
dismiss on that basis.
The Plaintiffs initiated this action on Oct. 31, 2024, asserting 13
claims for violations of state consumer protection statutes, common
law fraud, breach of warranty, and unjust enrichment.
On Jan. 6, 2025, the Defendants moved to dismiss for lack of
standing and failure to state a claim.
The Plaintiffs claim they suffered economic losses after buying
PGT-A testing from Defendants based on "false, deceptive, unfair,
and misleading advertising, marketing, and/or promotion" between
November 2020 and October 2023. They bring this lawsuit on behalf
of themselves and all persons in the United States who have
purchased PGT-A testing from Defendants, and seek to represent a
nationwide class and five state subclasses from California,
Louisiana, Nevada, North Carolina, and Texas.
Ovation specializes in comprehensive fertility diagnostic

FPI MANAGEMENT: Data Breach Class Settlement Offers Cash Payments
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Chloe Gocher of ClassAction.org reports that a class action
settlement will end litigation against FPI Management over an
August 2020 data breach that may have exposed the personal
information of more than 21,000 people.
The FPI Management class action settlement received preliminary
approval from the court on July 9, 2025 and covers all of the
approximately 21,417 United States residents who were notified that
their personal information may have been affected by the data
breach that was discovered by FPI Management around August 14,
2020.
The court-approved website for the FPI Management settlement can be
found at FPIDataIncident.com.
FPI Management settlement class members who submit a timely, valid
claim form will be able to receive a cash payment of $100 for
consumers to whom a notice was mailed to a California address, two
years of identity theft protection and credit monitoring, ordinary
expense reimbursement of up to $400 and extraordinary expense
reimbursement for up to $4,250.
The class action settlement website defines "ordinary expenses" as
documented costs or time losses directly caused by or related to
the FPI Management data breach and its effects, including:
-- Costs of accessing, freezing or unfreezing credit reports with
any credit reporting agency;
-- Out-of-pocket expenses such as bank fees, accountant fees,
attorney fees, cell phone charges (if charged by the minute), data
charges (if charged by the amount of data used), long distance
phone charges, gasoline for local travel, postage, copying,
parking, notary, faxing or scanning;
-- Fees for credit monitoring, credit reports or other identity
theft insurance products purchased between August 14, 2020 and
November 6, 2025; and
-- Up to three hours of time spent dealing with the effects of
the data breach, reimbursed at a rate of $20 per hour.
Extraordinary expense reimbursement, the website states, is
intended for class members who suffered actual identity theft that
is fairly traceable to the FPI data breach and occurred between
August 14, 2020 and November 6, 2025, and whose related losses have
not already been covered or mitigated, and whose costs are not
covered in the "ordinary expenses" category.
Class members seeking reimbursement for ordinary or extraordinary
expenses must submit documented proof for each loss they seek to
claim, the settlement website says.
The two-year identity theft protection and credit monitoring
offered through the class action settlement includes $1,000,000
identity theft insurance with no deductible, credit monitoring from
TransUnion and identity restoration and recovery services.
To submit a claim form online, FPI Management settlement class
members must visit this page and log in with the unique ID and PIN
found in their copy of the settlement notice.
Alternatively, a PDF of the claim form is available to print, fill
out and mail back to the address listed on the form.
All claim forms must be submitted online or postmarked no later
than November 6, 2025.
FPI Management has also agreed, as part of the settlement, to
implement several enhancements to its data security systems and
network.
A hearing is scheduled for October 24, 2025 to determine whether
the settlement will receive final approval from the court.
Settlement benefits will begin to be distributed to class members
only after final approval has been granted and any appeals have
been resolved.
The FPI Management class action lawsuit claimed that the property
management firm failed to properly protect the personal data --
including names, dates of birth, addresses, driver's license
numbers, passport numbers, tax ID numbers, Social Security numbers,
digital signatures, payment card information, financial account
information, online credentials and medical information -- of
thousands of individuals from a data breach discovered on or around
August 14, 2020. [GN]

GANNETT CO: Court Dismisses Bradley's Claims
--------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as STEVEN BRADLEY, et al., V.
GANNETT CO. INC., Case No. 1:23-cv-01100-RDA-WEF (E.D. Va.), the
Hon. Judge Rossie Alston, Jr. entered an order that each of the
Named Plaintiffs' claims of discrimination, with the exception of
Plaintiff Barry, will be dismissed for failure to state a claim and
that the class allegations will be stricken from the Second Amended
Complaint based on their failure to facially establish the
ascertainability of the Proposed Class and the commonality of
issues presented by the Proposed Class.
Moreover, because this is the Plaintiffs' Second Amended Complaint
and because the Plaintiffs generally failed to materially alter
their allegations in the face of the prior Memorandum Opinion and
Order, it appears that permitting further amendment is futile and
no further leave will be granted.
Accordingly, the motion to dismiss is granted in-part and
denied-in-part. The motion is granted in all respects except with
respect to the claims of Plaintiff Barry; and it is further ordered
that claims of Plaintiffs Bradley, Crane, Hiles, and Augsdorfer are
dismissed.
The Proposed Class consists of
"All individuals who were subject to defendant's [sic] Reverse
Race Discrimination Policy described below and who 1) either
work or worked for Gannett based on any form of contractual
relationship 2) [sic] or were considered by Gannett to be
placed into a position to perform work for the Defendant based
on any form of contractual relationship.
The Defendant is a mass media holding company.

PLEASE READ THIS SUMMARY NOTICE CAREFULLY. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE
AFFECTED BY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING IN THIS COURT.
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED, pursuant to an Order of the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware (the "Court"), that the
stockholder class action (the "Action") has been preliminarily
certified as a class action on behalf of the Settlement Class.
YOU ARE ALSO NOTIFIED that (i) Plaintiff Paul Berger, as Trustee
for the Paul Berger Revocable Trust ("Plaintiff"), on behalf of
himself and the other members of the Settlement Class; and (ii)
Defendants James A. Graf, Michael Dee, Kevin Starke, Sabrina McKee,
Keith Abell, and Julie Levenson (the "Individual Defendants") and
Graf Acquisition LLC ("Graf Acquisition" and, together with the
Individual Defendants, "Defendants") (Plaintiff and Defendants,
together, the "Parties") have reached a proposed settlement of the
Action for $4,750,000.00 in cash (the "Settlement"). The terms of
the Settlement are stated in the Stipulation and Agreement of
Settlement, Compromise, and Release dated June 4, 2025 (the
"Stipulation"), a copy of which is available at
www.VelodyneSettlement.com. If approved by the Court, the
Settlement will resolve all claims in the Action as against

A hearing (the "Settlement Hearing") will be held on October 7,
2025 at 1:30 p.m., before The Honorable Lori W. Will, Vice
Chancellor, either in person at the Court of Chancery of the State
of Delaware, New Castle County, Leonard L. Williams Justice Center,

whether Plaintiff and Plaintiff's Counsel have adequately
represented the Settlement Class, and whether they should be
finally appointed as Class Representative and Class Counsel,
respectively, for the Settlement Class; (iii) determine whether the
proposed Settlement should be approved as fair, reasonable, and
adequate to, and in the best interests of, Plaintiff and the other
members of the Settlement Class; (iv) determine whether the
proposed Final Order and Judgment approving the Settlement,
dismissing the Action with prejudice, and granting the Releases
provided under the Stipulation should be entered; (v) determine
whether the proposed Plan of Allocation of the Net Settlement Fund

Fund.

HECTOR RIOS: Burk Loses Bid for Class Certification
---------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as LESLIE ROBERT BURK, et
al., v. HECTOR RIOS, et al., Case No. 3:25-cv-00199-LS (W.D. Tex.),
the Hon. Judge Leon Schydlower entered an order denying the
Petitioners' request for certification as a class pursuant to
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23.
The Court further entered an order that Leslie Robert Burk, Andres
Quevedo, Carlos Chavez, Anthony Rueda, Abel Gonzalez, Pu-Ruiz
Bielman Alexander, Guillermo Galaz Reyes, Jesus Manuel Camarillo,
and Rogelio Perez Figueroa's "Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus
under 28 U.S.C. section 2241" is dismissed without prejudice for
lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
The Petitioners claim that they were kept in cuffs, chains, and
shackles "while inside a series of locked, overcrowded, and
unsanitary holding cells" for two days during their transfer from
the Otero County Prison Facility in Chaparral, New Mexico, to the
El Paso County Jail in El Paso, Texas. They allege that some thirty
people were held in an eight-person cell with the expectation they
would sleep on the floor covered with feces and urine, the suit
says

HOSPITAL SISTERS: Natalie Bid to Seal Class Cert Docs Tossed
------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Brahm Natalie v. Hospital
Sisters Health System, et al., Case No. 3:23-cv-00444 (W.D. Wisc.,
Filed July 5, 2023), the Hon. Judge William M. Conley entered an
order denying the Plaintiffs motion to seal eight documents
associated with their motion for class certification.
The Plaintiffs contend that three of these documents contain
protected health information, as defined in the protective order,
and the documents bear confidential designations over this
information.
The other five documents were designated confidential by defendants
under the same order. While plaintiffs apparently disagree with at
least some of these designations, they have not sought relief from
the court on this front.
With a protective order in force in this case, the parties need not
file separate motions to seal designated documents because the
protective order already authorizes parties to file this type of
material under seal.
The Plaintiffs concede the material at-issue was designated under a
previously entered protective order, so their motion to seal is
unnecessary.
For the avoidance of doubt: The material is under seal and will
remain under seal pursuant to the protective order. The parties are
reminded that they must work in good faith to resolve any disputes
over designations and avoid court intervention if possible. They
are also reminded that they should contemporaneously file public
redacted versions with any sealed filings.
The nature of suit states Torts -- Personal Property -- Other
Fraud.

2024), the Hon. Judge Michael P. Shea entered an order that the

Certification on or before Sept. 25, 2025.
The suit alleges violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).

ITHACA ENERGY: Alberta Court Approves Securities Class Settlement

persons associated with the Defendants, wherever they may reside or
be domiciled, who purchased or otherwise acquired Ithaca Energy
Inc., now known as Ithaca Energy Limited ("Ithaca") common shares
in the secondary market, on or after October 9, 2014, and held some
or all of those securities until after the close of trading on
February 24, 2015 ("Class Members" and the "Class").
PURPOSE OF THIS NOTICE
A class action brought on behalf of Class Members has been settled.
The Settlement has been approved by the Alberta Court of King's
Bench. This Notice provides Class Members with information about
how to submit a Claim Form to the Administrator in order to
participate in the distribution of the Net Settlement Amount.
THE ACTION
On May 26, 2015, a proposed class action was commenced on behalf of
investors who purchased Ithaca common shares in the secondary
market during the Class Period, against Ithaca in the Alberta Court
of King's Bench: Stevens v. Ithaca Energy Inc. (now, Ithaca Energy
Limited) Court File no. 1501-05830 (the "Action"). The Plaintiff in
the Action alleges that the Defendants made misrepresentations
during the Class Period related to Ithaca's offshore oil and gas
business and operations concerning: (1) material modifications to
its floating production facility, the FPF-1; and (2) corresponding
2015 pro forma production and revenue projections for the Greater
Stella Area in the Central North Sea. Ithaca denies all such
allegations.
The settlement of the Action, without an admission of liability on
the part of the Defendant, was approved by The Honourable Justice
Neufeld on August 7, 2025. This notice provides a summary of the
settlement.
SUMMARY OF THE SETTLEMENT TERMS
Ithaca's insurers will pay CAD $9 million (the "Settlement
Amount"), in full and final settlement of all claims against Ithaca
in the Action. Class Counsel Fees, including out-of-pocket expenses
and taxes, were fixed by the Court as a first charge on the
Settlement Amount in the amount of thirty (30) percent of CAD $9
million, plus disbursements, plus taxes. The settlement for the
Class, less the Class Counsel Fees and disbursements,
administrator's expenses, and taxes, will be distributed to the
Class in accordance with the Court-approved Plan of Allocation. The
Settlement Agreement and Plan of Allocation may be viewed at

JEOMILL REALTY CORP: Lopez Sues Over Unlawful Barriers
------------------------------------------------------
Daniel Lopez, and the others similarly situated v. JEOMILL REALTY
CORP. and 1351 COLLINS RESTAURANT LLC, Case No. 1:25-cv-24114-XXXX
(S.D. Fla., Sept. 9, 2025), is brought for injunctive relief
pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (hereinafter, the
"ADA"), and the ADA's Accessibility Guidelines (hereinafter, the
"ADAAG") as a result of the unlawful barriers.
The Plaintiff has visited the Subject Premises and intends to
return to utilize the goods, services, and accommodations offered
to the public. However, he is deterred from returning while the
discriminatory barriers and non-compliant policies described herein
persist. The Plaintiff has been denied full and equal access to the
Subject Premises, preventing him from enjoying the goods and
services offered therein. These denials are caused by the physical
barriers, including those outlined in this Complaint, and will
continue until the barriers are removed.
The Plaintiff has suffered harm and injury as a result of
personally encountering barriers to access at the Subject Premises,
and she will continue to suffer harm due to the Defendants' failure
to address the ADA violations described herein. The Plaintiff has
experienced direct and indirect injury as a result of the physical
barriers and ADA violations at the Subject Premises and the
Defendants' actions or inactions in remedying these violations. The
Plaintiff attempted to access the Subject Premises accompanied by
her next friend but was unable to do so due to her disability and
the existence of physical barriers, dangerous conditions, and ADA
violations that restricted her access to the property and its
accommodations, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff is a double-leg amputee from above the knee, which
limits his major life activities including but not limited to
walking, and requires the use of a wheelchair for mobility
purposes.
JEOMILL REALTY CORP., is a New York profit corporation which is
authorized to and does transact business in the State of Florida
and within this judicial district.[BN]

JUST ENERGY: $25MM Class Settlement to be Heard on Oct. 15
----------------------------------------------------------
The Court-appointed representatives of a class of former
shareholders of Just Energy Group Inc. have reached a settlement of
the class action commenced following Just Energy's August 2019
restatement of its financial statements.
Just Energy's insurers have agreed to pay US$25,000,000 to settle
the claims made against Just Energy in the class action. In
connection with the settlement, the action will be dismissed in its
entirety. Just Energy does not admit any wrongdoing or liability.
Ernst & Young LLP previously paid C$1,500,000 to settle the claims
made against it in the class action. The Court approved the EY
settlement on October 31, 2023.
The Class is defined as all persons and entities, wherever they may
reside or be domiciled, who:
"acquired any Just Energy Securities during the Class Period
and retained some or all of them at the close of trading
on July 22, 2019, or August 14, 2019, other than Excluded
Persons."
In the above definition:
"Class Period" means the period from May 16, 2018, to August 14,
2019 inclusive.
"Excluded Persons" means (i) the Defendants; (ii) Just Energy's and
Ernst & Young LLP's past and present subsidiaries, affiliates,
officers, directors, senior employees, partners, legal
representatives, heirs, predecessors, successors and assigns; (iii)
any member of the Individual Defendants' immediate families; and
(iv) any entity in which the Individual Defendants have a
controlling interest.
"Securities" means: (i) common shares, previously listed for
trading on the TSX and NYSE under the symbol "JE"; and (ii) 8.50%
Series A preferred shares, previously listed for trading on the TSX
under the symbol "JE.PR.U" and on the NYSE under the symbol
"JE.PR.A".
(the "Class" or the "Class Members")
The class action was commenced following Just Energy's August 2019
restatement of its financial statements. The Plaintiffs allege,
among other things, that during the Class Period Just Energy made
misrepresentations by materially (i) overstating its Accounts
Receivable; and (ii) understating its Allowance for Doubtful
Accounts.
The settlement and dismissal of the action against Just Energy is
subject to the approval of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice.
If approved by the Court, the settlement will settle, extinguish,
and bar all claims of the Class against Just Energy relating in any
way to or arising out of the proceeding. The settlement is a
compromise of disputed claims.
The class is represented by the law firms of Siskinds LLP, Berger
Montague (Canada) PC, and The Rosen Law Firm. Class Counsel is
seeking the approval of legal fees not to exceed 30% of the
Settlement Amount under the settlement with Just Energy (i.e. US
$7,500,000), plus disbursements and applicable taxes. At the
hearing, Class Counsel will also seek payment of honoraria to the
representative plaintiffs in the amount of C$5,000 each.
A hearing to approve the settlement with Just Energy will be held
on October 15, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. via remote video conference,
during which the Court will consider whether the proposed
settlement and Class Counsel's fees and disbursements are fair and
reasonable and should be approved and consider a Plan of Allocation
for the distribution of the net settlement funds. Class Members
who wish to object to or comment on the settlement, Class Counsel's
fee and disbursement request, or the Plan of Allocation should do
so by no later than October 8, 2025. If the settlement is
approved, all Class Members will be bound by it.
For complete details regarding the proposed settlement, including
how to object/comment, please consult the long-form notice
available, in English and French, on Class Counsel's websites at

KANDLELIGHT LLC: Brown Sues Over Discriminative Premises
--------------------------------------------------------
Altaune Brown, and other similarly situated disabled individuals v.
KANDLELIGHT LLC, and FRANK & WALTER EBERHART L.P. NO. 1, Case No.
1:25-cv-07482 (S.D.N.Y., Sept. 9, 2025), is brought against the
Defendants seeking equitable, injunctive, and declaratory relief;
monetary and nominal damages; along with attorney9s fees, costs,
and expenses pursuant to: Title III of the Americans with
Disabilities Act ("ADA"), the New York City Human Rights Law
("NYCHRL"); and the New York State Human Rights Law ("NYSHRL") as a
result of discrimination regarding the Defendants' Premises.
On February 7, 2025, and other occasions, Plaintiff attempted to
enter Defendants' Premises, which operates as an Indian deli and
restaurant specializing in vegetarian and vegan dishes. Defendants'
Premises is less than 1.2 miles from Plaintiff's home.
The Plaintiff has since returned to Defendants' Premises because he
is trying to eat mostly at vegan restaurants for health purposes
and actively seeks vegan restaurants in his home neighborhood;
however, the barriers that prevent access and restrict the paths of
travel remain, and Plaintiff continues to be denied access and is
deterred from returning based on his knowledge that the barriers
exist. Accordingly, Plaintiff has and continues to suffer an injury
in fact.
The Defendants denying Plaintiff the opportunity to participate in
and benefit from the services or accommodations offered within
Defendants' Premises because of his disability has caused Plaintiff
to suffer an injury in fact, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff is a paraplegic who uses a wheelchair for mobility.
Desi owns, leases, operates, maintains, and controls all, or the
relevant portions, of Defendants' Premises.[BN]

NAVY FEDERAL: Faces Edey Suit Over Unauthorized Personal Loans
--------------------------------------------------------------
STACY EDEY, KELLIE HIGH, and RONNICE LEE, on behalf of themselves
and all similarly situated individuals v. NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT
UNION, Case No. 2:25-cv-00554-AWA-DEM (E.D. Va., Sept. 8, 2025)
concerns unauthorized personal loans that are now affecting the
credit profiles of Plaintiffs and countless other NFCU members.
According to the complaint, in late 2023 and early 2024, fraudsters
borrowed money via personal loans through Plaintiffs' NFCU
membership accounts without the Plaintiffs' authorization or
permission. The personal loans were approved by NFCU without
correctly verifying the applicants' identities, as NFCU promised to
do in its form Membership Agreement. NFCU also did not use
reasonable security procedures to confirm that the applicants were,
in fact, the NFCU members who they purported to be.
The Plaintiff contends that had NFCU considered information
available to it to verify personal loan applicants like the
fraudsters purporting to be Plaintiffs, it would have known that
Plaintiffs did not themselves apply for the personal loans. 10. But
most notably, NFCU sent documents and correspondence relating to
the personal loans, including the "ePromissory Note, Security
Agreement, and Disclosure" and requests for e-signatures, to email
addresses not belonging to Plaintiffs, at the instruction of the
perpetrators.
Callers purporting to represent NFCU then instructed Plaintiffs to
review their recent account activity and confirm the so-called
deposits reflected by NFCU's account records. The purported NFCU
employees called Plaintiffs using verified NFCU phone numbers,
including NFCU's "24/7 Member Services" telephone number, the suit
adds.
NFCU offers loans with affordable rates and manageable terms. They
wanted to encourage building financial security by providing a safe
place to deposit savings and earn dividends. So they pooled their
money and invited others to join.
NFCU is a member-owned and not-for-profit credit union exclusively
serving the military, veterans and their families.[BN]

NEW START: Appeals Arbitration and Dismissal Order in Lambert Suit

order granting in part and denying in part their motion to compel
arbitration and motion to dismiss in the lawsuit entitled Alana
Lambert, et al., individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiffs, v. New Start Capital LLC, et al., Defendants,

As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, the lawsuit is

NEW YORK AND PRESBYTERIAN: UFCW Local Files Antitrust Trust
-----------------------------------------------------------
UFCW LOCAL 1500 WELFARE FUND, on behalf of itself and all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. THE NEW YORK AND PRESBYTERIAN
HOSPITAL, Defendant, Case No. 2:25-cv-05023 (E.D.N.Y., September 8,
2025) is a class action complaint against the Defendant for
violations of federal antitrust law, the Donnelly Act, and common
law, seeking actual damages, treble damages, disgorgement of
profits, injunctive relief, a declaratory judgment, reasonable
costs and attorneys' fees, and pre and post-judgment interest.
According to the complaint, NYP has leveraged its market power in
New York City to limit price competition in the market for general
acute care inpatient hospital services. Specifically, NYP's
contracts with health insurers impose "anti-steering" provisions
which prevent the health plans from incentivizing their members to
seek out lower-cost services from other hospital systems, to the
detriment of payors of healthcare services, such as Plaintiff and
members of the Class. NYP imposes these provisions as a condition
of including any NYP facilities in the networks of commercial
health plans, says the suit.
As a result of NYP's practices, competition among hospitals based
on quality and cost has been severely constrained, and costs for
health plans have increased. NYP's contracting practices insulate
it from competitive market pressures that would otherwise force it
to lower prices or improve efficiency. Consequently, the Plaintiff
and members of the Class continue to suffer substantial financial
harm through excessive healthcare expenditures directly resulting
from NYP's anticompetitive restraints, the suit alleges.
Plaintiff UFCW Local 1500 Welfare Fund is a self-funded employee
welfare benefits fund with its principal place of business in
Westbury, New York. The Plaintiff is a multi-employer benefit fund
that provides healthcare benefits to members and dependents of the
union, UFCW Local 1500.
The New York and Presbyterian Hospital provides medical and
surgical hospital services.[BN]

NEW YORK: Deprives Medical Health Treatment, Dunn Suit Says
-----------------------------------------------------------
JAMES DUNN, et al., individually and on behalf of all similarly
situated individuals v. NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS
AND COMMUNITY SUPERVISION (DOCCS), COMMISSIONER DANIEL F.
MARTUSCELLO III, in his official capacity, SUPERINTENDENT BENNIE
THORPE, in his official capacity, NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF MENTAL
HEALTH, COMMISSIONER ANN MARIE T. SULLIVAN, in her official
capacity, RMHU UNIT CHIEF VINCENT LORUSSO, in his official
capacity, Governor KATHY HOCHUL, in her official capacity, and THE
STATE OF NEW YORK, Case No. 9:25-cv-01242-MAD-DJS (N.D.N.Y., Sept.
8, 2025) alleges that the Defendants are knowingly depriving
individuals in the Residential Mental Health Unit at Marcy
Correctional Facility of all out-of-cell programming and mental
health and medical treatment and keeping them almost entirely
isolated in violation of the U.S. Const. amend. VIII; Title II of
the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. sections 12131,
12132; and 29 U.S.C. section 794.
According to the complaint, years in the making, the RMHU was
designed in response to a 2002 lawsuit filed by Disability
Advocates, Inc. (DAI) Prisoners' Legal Services of New York, and
others, Disability Advocates, Inc. v. New York State Office of
Mental Health, that alleged that the Department of Correctional
Services and the Office of Mental Health (OMH) provided inadequate
mental health services within the prison system.
The underlying complaint detailed prisoners being isolated in their
small, cramped cells for 24 hours a day for months on end, absent
the occasional "call-out." There was no opportunity to attend
programs or other rehabilitative activities, no congregate
recreation, and little to no mental health treatment aside from
medication.
The underlying lawsuit alleged these conditions caused significant
life-threatening psychiatric deterioration. The 2007 settlement
agreement aimed to bar the long-established practice of placing
incarcerated individuals with serious mental illness into
segregated confinement settings that have been proven to be
countertherapeutic. The creation of RMHUs was specifically
articulated in the 2007 settlement agreement and was codified into
law in 2008.
The Defendants are aware that RMHU residents should be getting
out-of-cell therapeutic programming, and interactions with mental
health professionals, counselors, offender rehabilitation
coordinators (ORC), group therapy, and other out-of-cell
therapeutic activities, asserts the suit.
As a result of the Defendants' actions, incarcerated individuals in
the Marcy RMHU are denied the opportunity to participate in and
benefit from DOCCS services and programs for which they are
otherwise eligible solely on the basis of their disability. With
this lawsuit, the Plaintiffs and all class members seek declaratory
and injunctive relief to redress the violation of their rights
pursuant to Title II of the ADA, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation
Act, and the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution
The Plaintiffs include LACQUAN BERKLEY, LUIS GARCIA, DEJOUR
NESMITH, GILBERT CARRION, TYRELL ESCOBAR, SAMUEL DENIS, JOSE
CORNEJO, and DEVIN HOYT.
NYS DOCCS states that it is "responsible for the care, custody, and
treatment" of the people held in the state prisons.[BN]

When is the Octapharma Plasma settlement payout date?
The settlement administrator will distribute payments approximately
60 days after the court grants final approval of the settlement and
resolves any appeals.
Why did this class action settlement happen?
The class action lawsuit alleged Octapharma Plasma Inc. failed to
implement adequate cybersecurity measures, resulting in
unauthorized access to sensitive personal information. The
plaintiffs claimed this led to risks of identity theft and other
harms.
Octapharma denied any wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid the
risks and costs of further litigation. [GN]

Case No. 1:25-cv-01885 (N.D. Ohio, Sept. 9, 2025), is brought
against Defendant pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act
("ADA") due to the Defendant's place of public accommodation which

The Plaintiff has a realistic, credible, existing and continuing
threat of discrimination from the Defendant's non-compliance with
the ADA with respect to this property as described but not
necessarily limited to the allegations contained in this complaint.
Plaintiff has reasonable grounds to believe that he will continue
to be subjected to discrimination in violation of the ADA by the
Defendant.
The Plaintiff desires to visit the Defendant's place of business
again on future occasions, not only to avail himself of the goods
and services available at the property but to assure himself that
this property is in compliance with the ADA so that he and others
similarly situated will have full and equal enjoyment of the hotel
and its amenities without fear of discrimination.
The Defendant has discriminated against the individual Plaintiff by
denying him access to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods,
services, facilities, privileges, advantages and/or accommodations
of the buildings, as prohibited by the ADA, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff qualifies as an individual with disability.

PROPERTIES 2000-RICHMOND, LLC, Case No. 4:25-cv-01372 (E.D. Mo.,
Sept. 11, 2025), is brought based upon Defendant's failure to
remove physical barriers to access and violations of Title III of

The Plaintiff has visited the Property a dozen times before as a
customer and advocate for the disabled. The Plaintiff intends to
revisit the Property within six months after the barriers to access

lawsuit for Advocacy Purposes.
The Plaintiff intends on revisiting the Property to purchase goods
and/or services as a return customer as well as for Advocacy

barriers to access and engage in a futile gesture of visiting the
public accommodation known to Plaintiff to have numerous and
continuing barriers to access, says the complaint.

SANTANDER CONSUMER: Wins Summary Judgment v. Hanson
---------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as RANDY HANSON and JENNIFER
HANSON, v. SANTANDER CONSUMER USA, INC., Case No. 3:22-cv-00623-wmc
(W.D. Wis.), the Hon. Judge William Conley entered an order that:
1) The Plaintiffs' motion to stay is denied.
2) The Defendant's motion for summary judgment is granted.
3) The Plaintiffs' motion for class certification is denied as
moot.
4) The Clerk of Court is directed to enter judgment consistent
with this opinion and close this case.
Accordingly, the Defendant has demonstrated that there is no
dispute as to a material fact and that it is entitled to summary
judgment as a matter of law on all alleged violations of the UCC.
Therefore, the Plaintiffs' claims for monetary relief (Counts I-IV)
as well as injunctive relief (Counts V-VI) are dismissed.
Finally, because the Plaintiffs' claims lack merit, plaintiffs are
not proper class representatives and their motion for class
certification is denied as moot.
The court finds that while it has jurisdiction to decide the
principal legal issue presented -- whether the UCC precludes
Santander from reducing the Hanson's outstanding debt by the amount
it obtained at a wholesale auction to other dealers, rather than at
a retail, public auction or based on a "fair market value"
assessment -- the Hansons have failed to show that Santander
violated that law, nor that this court should.
Accordingly, the Defendant is entitled to summary judgment as to
all claims, rendering plaintiffs’ motion for class certification
moot.
The Plaintiffs Randy and Jennifer Hanson brought this putative
class action in state court, seeking injunctive and monetary relief
for themselves and other Wisconsin buyers allegedly harmed by
Santander's repossession and deficiency collection practices in
violation of the Wisconsin Uniform Commercial Code.
Santander provides automotive financing services.

TESLA INC: Court Certifies Rule 23 Classes in Matsko Lawsuit
------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Matsko v. Tesla, Inc., et
al. (RE TESLA ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS LITIGATION), Case
No. 3:22-cv-05240-RFL (N.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Rita Lin entered
an order certifying classes as follows:
23(b)(2) Class:
"All members of the California Arbitration Opt-Out Class and
California Pre-Arbitration Class, who have stated that they
would like to purchase or subscribe to FSD in the future but
cannot rely on the product's future advertising or labelling."
Two 23(b)(3) classes:
California Arbitration Opt-Out Class:
"All persons who purchased or leased from Tesla, Inc. (or any
entity it directly or indirectly owns or controls, including
but not limited to Tesla Lease Trust and Tesla Finance LLC) a
Tesla vehicle and paid a separate amount, either through
purchase or subscription, for the Full Self Driving technology
package at any time from May 19, 2017, to July 31, 2024, and
who either purchased or leased that vehicle in California or
who currently reside in California, who opted out of Tesla's
arbitration agreement."
California Pre-Arbitration Class:
"All persons who purchased or leased from Tesla, Inc. (or any
entity it directly or indirectly owns or controls, including
but not limited to Tesla Lease Trust and Tesla Finance LLC) a
Tesla vehicle and paid a separate amount, either through
purchase or subscription, for the Full Self-Driving technology
package at any time from Oct. 20, 2016, through May 19, 2017
("Pre-Arbitration Period"), and who either purchased or leased
that vehicle in California or who currently reside in
California."
The Court appoints the Plaintiff Thomas LoSavio as the
representative of the certified classes. The Court appoints
Cotchett Pitre & McCarthy LLP, Casey Gerry Francavilla Blatt LLP,
and Bottini & Bottini, Inc. as class counsel.
The Plaintiff alleges that Tesla's conduct violates California's
Unfair Competition Law ("UCL"), Consumer Legal Remedies Act
("CLRA"), and False Advertising Law ("FAL"), and further
constitutes fraud, negligent misrepresentation, and negligence.
The Plaintiff filed a motion for class certification on May 6,
2025.
In early 2017, the Plaintiff paid Tesla $5,000 for EAP and $3,000
for the FSD packages for his new Tesla Model S car. LoSavio alleges
he purchased these packages because he was misled by the Hardware
Statement and Cross-Country Statements.
Tesla designs, develops, manufactures, tests, markets, distributes,
sells, and leases electric vehicles under the brand name "Tesla."

TRANSUNION LLC: Fails to Secure Customers' Personal Info, Engh Says
-------------------------------------------------------------------
MARTIN ENGH, individually and on behalf of those similarly situated
v. TRANSUNION, LLC, Case No. 1:25-cv-10790 (N.D. Ill., Sept. 8,
2025), alleges that the Defendant failed to properly secure and
safeguard Plaintiff's and Class members' personally identifiable
information (PII) stored within the Defendant's information
network.
According to the complaint, the harm resulting from a breach of
private data manifests in a number of ways, including identity
theft and financial fraud. The exposure of a person's PII through a
data breach ensures that such person will be at a substantially
increased and certainly impending risk of identity theft crimes
compared to the rest of the population, potentially for the rest of
their lives.
Mitigating that risk -- to the extent it is even possible to do so
-- requires individuals to devote significant time and money to
closely monitor their credit, financial accounts, health records,
and email accounts, and to take a number of additional prophylactic
measures, says the suit.
The Plaintiff is a current or former customer of TransUnion and a
victim of the Data Breach. On Aug. 26, 2025, the Plaintiff was
notified of the Data Breach and of the impact to his PII via letter
from the Defendant.
TransUnion represents itself as "a global information and insights
company that makes trust possible in global commerce."[BN]

TTI OUTDOOR: Faces Class Lawsuit Over Defective Pressure Washers
----------------------------------------------------------------
Top Class Actions reports that plaintiff Ken Angelini filed a class
action lawsuit against TTI Outdoor Power Equipment Inc.
Why: Angelini claims the company sold RYOBI defective electric
pressure washers that can explode and injure users.
Where: The RYOBI class action lawsuit was filed in California
federal court.
A new class action lawsuit claims that TTI Outdoor Power Equipment
sold defective RYOBI electric pressure washers that can explode and
injure users.
Plaintiff Ken Angelini filed the class action lawsuit against TTI
Outdoor Power Equipment on Sept. 2 in California federal court,
alleging violations of state and federal consumer laws.
According to the RYOBI class action lawsuit, TTI Outdoor Power
Equipment manufactured, imported, distributed and sold defective
electric pressure washers. Specifically, the pressure washer's
capacitor can overheat and burst, causing parts to be forcefully
ejected, posing a risk of serious injury from impact to the user or
bystanders, the lawsuit states.
Consumers who have experienced the defect have repeatedly described
the pressure washers "blowing up," the complaint claims.
RYOBI refuses to refund recalled pressure washers, lawsuit says
TTI has received 135 reports of capacitors overheating, including
41 reports of explosions, resulting in 32 injuries and/or fractures
to the fingers, hands, face and eyes, the class action lawsuit
states.
RYOBI issued a recall instructing customers to "immediately stop
using" the tools. However, TTI refuses to provide refunds for the
defective pressure washers, the lawsuit alleges. Instead,
consumers' only option is to attempt to repair the product
themselves, regardless of whether they have the tools, aptitude or
time to do so, the class action lawsuit explains.
Angelini alleges that TTI's policy violates section 1793.2 of the
Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act, which prohibits manufacturers
from requiring consumers to repair products themselves while a
product is still under warranty.
TTI's recall also is inconsistent with general industry practices,
Angelini says. It has become common practice for U.S. companies
that sell small consumer goods to offer refunds as an alternative
to repairs or replacements when products are recalled, the RYOBI
class action lawsuit states.
Angelini is looking to represent anyone who purchased a RYOBI
electric pressure washer for personal, family or household use in
one of 26 states within the applicable statute of limitations. He
is suing for violations of California's consumer laws, breach of
implied warranty and unjust enrichment and seeks certification of
the class action lawsuit, damages, fees, costs and a jury trial.
Earlier this year, TTI Outdoor Power Equipment was hit with a class
action alleging certain RYOBI mowers are prone to overheating and
catching fire.
The plaintiff is represented by Yeremey O. Krivoshey and Joel D.
Smith of Smith Krivoshey P.C.
The RYOBI class action lawsuit is Angelini v. TTI Outdoor Power
Equipment Inc., Case No. 5:25-cv-02280, in the U.S. District Court
for the Central District of California. [GN]

V.F. CORP: Faces Class Action Suit for Misleading Investors
-----------------------------------------------------------

alleges that Defendants made materially false and/or misleading
statements and/or failed to disclose material adverse information
regarding VFC's turnaround plan, Reinvent, including that
additional significant reset actions would be necessary to return
the Vans brand to growth, resulting in significant setbacks to
Vans' revenue growth trajectory which were neither contemplated nor

turnaround progress, specifically.

WEBTPA EMPLOYER: Final Approval Hearing in $13.75M Deal Set Nov. 19
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Chloe Gocher of ClassAction.org reports that a $13.75 million
settlement will end a consolidated class action lawsuit against
WebTPA Employer Services and several health insurance companies
over an April 2023 data breach.
The WebTPA class action settlement received preliminary approval
from the court on August 20, 2025 and covers anyone who was
notified by WebTPA Employer Services, Hartford Life and Accident
Insurance, Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health Insurance or Elevance
Health that their personal data may have been compromised in the
April 2023 data breach.
The court-approved website for the WebTPA data breach settlement
can be found at WebTPASettlement.com.
Per the official settlement site, WebTPA settlement class members
who submit a timely, valid claim form will be able to receive
medical information monitoring and either reimbursement up to
$5,000 for losses resulting from the data breach or a flat cash
payment of $100.
Class members who were California residents from April 18 to April
23, 2023 will be able to submit a claim for an additional cash
payment of approximately $50, the class action settlement website
says.
In order to claim loss reimbursement, class members must submit
documentation to support each claimed loss. A loss can only be
claimed if it has not already been reimbursed or compensated by
another source, the site says.
Class members can, alternatively, choose to receive a flat cash
payment of $100, which does not require the submission of any
documentation or proof. This flat payment is mutually exclusive
from the loss reimbursement option, and class members can only
claim one or the other, the settlement website explains.
All cash payments may be subject to adjustment on a pro-rata, or
equal-share, basis depending on the total number of valid claims
filed.
The medical monitoring offered through the settlement is available
to all class members and includes two years of CyEx Medical Shield
monitoring, which will provide up to $1,000,000 insurance coverage
for medical identity theft, medical identity monitoring and
real-time alerts.
To file a claim form online, class members can visit this page and
log in with the class member ID found in their copy of the
settlement notice.
All WebTPA settlement claim forms must be submitted online or
postmarked by November 4, 2025.
As part of the settlement, the defendants have also agreed to
increase security in their systems and environments to better
protect customers' personal information.
A hearing is scheduled for November 19, 2025 to determine whether
the class action settlement will receive final court approval.
Settlement benefits will begin to be distributed to class members
only after final approval has been granted and any appeals have
been resolved.
The WebTPA class action lawsuit claimed that WebTPA, The Hartford,
Anthem Blue Cross and Elevance Health failed to properly protect
customers' personal data against an April 2023 data breach. [GN]
