Plaintiffs v. ADANA RESTAURANT LLC, NASEEB RANA, OKAN OZYURTERI,
Defendants, Case No. 1:25-cv-07275-TWT-AWH (N.D. Ga., December 19,

server in April 2025.
According to the complaint, the Defendants discriminated against

a hostile work environment. The Defendants also failed to pay
Plaintiff Oattes overtime wages and engaged in retaliatory conduct
and defamatory statements, says the suit.

BURLINGTON COAT: Marquez Files Suit Over Disability Discrimination
------------------------------------------------------------------
OLGA SANCHEZ MARQUEZ, Plaintiff v. BURLINGTON COAT FACTORY
WAREHOUSE CORPORATION, a foreign for-profit corporation, Defendant,
Case No. 1:25-cv-25992 (S.D. Fla., December 19, 2025) is a class
action brought by the Plaintiff, on behalf of others similarly
situated blind and visually disabled individuals, for declaratory
and injunctive relief, attorney's fees, costs, and litigation
expenses for unlawful disability discrimination in violation of
Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The Plaintiff is and at all relevant times has been a visually
disabled person who has been medically diagnosed with pathologic
myopia with central chorioretinal atrophy secondary to her myopia
and Addisson's disease.
On October 15, 2025, the Plaintiff visited and sought to patronize
and purchase merchandise from Defendant's Cutler Bay store. During
her visit, the Plaintiff attempted to use one of the store's point
of sale devices to complete her purchase using her debit card and,
in doing so, attempted to access the information displayed on the
POS device's screen by plugging her personal headset into the
device. However, the Plaintiff was unable to independently and
privately pay for her order through the POS device because the
device did not have any place on it for Plaintiff to plug in her
headset nor was the device configured with screen reader software
or tactile feedback that would effectively communicate to Plaintiff
the visual information displayed on the POS device's screen.
As a result of the store's POS device not being fully accessible
to, and not being independently and privately usable by, blind and
visually disabled persons, the Plaintiff was unable to fully access
and use the device to effectively, efficiently, and independently
make her purchase in the physical store, says the suit.

CERNER CORP: Faces Tatum Suit Over Private Data Breach
------------------------------------------------------
CARRINGTON TATUM, individually and on behalf of all others

HEALTH, INC., and ADVENTIST HEALTH SYSTEM SUNBELT HEALTHCARE
CORPORATION d/b/a ADVENTHEALTH, Defendants, Case No. 6:26-cv-00010
(M.D. Fla., January 4, 2026) arises from a recent cyberattack
resulting in a data breach of sensitive information in the
possession and custody and/or control of Defendants.
Following an internal investigation, Defendants learned the data
breach which occurred on January 22, 2025, resulted in unauthorized
disclosure, exfiltration, and theft of current and former patients'
personally identifying information, including names, Social
Security number as well as personal health information.
The Plaintiff alleges that Defendants failed and/or continue to
fail to promptly inform Class Members even though Plaintiff and
thousands of Class Members had their most sensitive personal
information accessed, exfiltrated, and stolen. Accordingly,
Plaintiff seeks redress for Defendants' unlawful conduct and
asserts claims for negligence, negligence per se, breach of implied
contract, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and unjust
enrichment.

CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS: Barber Sues Over Improper TV Surcharges
---------------------------------------------------------------
BARBARA BARBER; ANTONIO DUENAS; ALFRED HOLGUIN; and ANDREW EPSTEIN,
individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated,
Plaintiffs v. CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS, INC. d/b/a SPECTRUM,
Defendant, Case No. 2:25-cv-12361 (C.D. Cal., Dec. 30, 2025) is an
action against Charter to challenge its unfair, deceptive, and
unlawful business practice of advertising artificially low monthly
prices for cable television services while concealing and
misrepresenting the true cost of service through an undisclosed and
ever-increasing charge known as the "Broadcast TV Surcharge" (the
"BTS").
According to the Plaintiff in the complaint, the hidden fee,
imposed without adequate disclosure or contractual basis, functions
as a deceptive price increase in violation of federal truth-in
billing requirements, state consumer protection statutes, and
well-established principles of contract law.
By concealing and misrepresenting the BTS, Charter has duped
millions of consumers nationwide into paying unlawful and inflated
charges. This deceptive scheme enables Charter to market ostensibly
low prices while quietly shifting the true cost of service onto
unsuspecting subscribers. Charter's conduct not only causes
substantial economic injury to consumers but also distorts
competition in the marketplace by allowing Charter to advertise
prices that appear lower than those of rival providers who
accurately disclose their charges, the suit alleges.
Charter Communications, Inc. operates as a cable telecommunications
company. The Company offers cable broadcasting, internet, voice,

CREDIT WHOLESALE: Misclassifies Sales Managers, Pyle Suit Says
--------------------------------------------------------------
JEREMIAH PYLE, Plaintiff v. CREDIT WHOLESALE COMPANY, INC, d/b/a
WHOLESALE PAYMENTS, and JOHN DOES 1-20, Defendants, Case No.
5:25-cv-00277-H (N.D. Tex., December 19, 2025) is a class action
brought by the Plaintiff, on his behalf and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, for Defendants' unlawful labor practices in
violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act and Texas law.
The case arises from Credit Wholesale's uniform scheme to classify
managers and related sales personnel as independent contractors on
paper while exercising pervasive control over their day-to-day
work, paying them as W-2 employees, providing benefits and company
infrastructure, and imposing standardized compensation and
chargeback policies.
Credit Wholesale's policies, handbooks, contracts, and centralized
practices applied uniformly to Plaintiff and the putative
class/collective members and resulted in common injuries including
unpaid overtime, improper deductions/set-offs, and manipulation of
residual compensation through company-controlled reporting systems,
says the suit.
Class Plaintiff Jeremiah Pyle worked for Credit Wholesale in Texas
as a sales manager and team leader from approximately August 1,
2020, through 2024.
Credit Wholesale Company, Inc. d/b/a Wholesale Payments, Inc. is a
Texas corporation with its principal place of business in Lubbock.
The Company operates as a payment processing company that employed

members.[BN]

EMBLEMHEALTH INC: Engages in Unfair Business Practices, Suit Says
-----------------------------------------------------------------
THE AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION; THE NEW YORK STATE

capacity on behalf of their members; MILEN BEYENE; VALERIA
CALDERON; ELIZABETH CANTY; BONNIE DORIS ELLIOTT; DANIEL RICCOBONO;

similarly situated, Plaintiffs v. EMBLEMHEALTH, INC.; and
EMBLEMHEALTH PLAN, INC., Defendants, Case No. 1:25-cv-10783
(S.D.N.Y., Dec. 30, 2025) alleges that the Defendants are engaged
in unfair competition and false affiliation in violation of Section
43 of the Lanham Act.
The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that EmblemHealth
misrepresented the size and quality of its network, where
EmblemHealth attracts more members and increases its share of the
market. This increased number of members' premiums and
administrative fees are then paid to EmblemHealth. EmblemHealth is
thus unjustly enriched from its misrepresentations about its
network's breadth.
By misrepresenting the size and quality of its network,
EmblemHealth also attracts more employers, including New York City,
to retain EmblemHealth to administer health plans offered to their
employees, says the suit.
EmblemHealth Inc. provides health care insurance and benefit plans.
The Company offers health risk assessments, personal health records

GALDERMA LABORATORIES: Albrigo Sues Over Mislabeled Sunscreens
--------------------------------------------------------------
LAURA WILLIS ALBRIGO, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. GALDERMA LABORATORIES, L.P.,
Defendant, Case No. 3:25-cv-03819-H-JLB (S.D. Cal., Dec. 30, 2025)
seeks to redress and put a stop to the false, deceptive, and
unlawful manner in which the Defendant has labeled, distributed,
advertised, promoted, and marketed its sunscreen product "Cetaphil
Sun Sheer Mineral Face Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Liquid Sunscreen."
According to the complaint, on the Product's labeling, its outer
packaging (the box), and in advertising and promotional materials
for the Product, Defendant represents that the Product provides a
sun protection factor that is far higher than the SPF that the
Product actually provides, thereby deceiving consumers into
believing that the Product offers better protection against
sunburns and other dangerous effects of exposure to ultraviolet
radiation (such as skin cancer and premature aging) than it
actually provides, and that the Product is thus worth purchasing at

LUXOTTICA OF AMERICA: Faces Moore Suit for Invasion of Privacy
--------------------------------------------------------------
BRANDON MOORE, DANIEL ALDANA, and HOPE KAMBICK, as individuals, on
behalf of themselves, the general public, and those similarly
situated, Plaintiffs v. LUXOTTICA OF AMERICA, INC., Defendant, Case
No. 3:25-cv-10840-SK (N.D. Cal., December 19, 2025) arises from the
Defendant's egregious privacy violation and total breach of
consumer trust in violation of California's Constitution and the
California Invasion of Privacy Act.
When Plaintiffs and other consumers visit Defendant's websites, the
Defendant displays to them a popup cookie consent banner, each of
which differs slightly in appearance across the websites, but each
of which is substantially similar to the others in content and
function. The Defendant's cookie banner on each website discloses
that the website uses cookies but expressly gives users the option
to control how they are tracked and how their personal data is
used.
The Defendant designed the websites to include resources and
programming scripts from third parties that cause those parties to
place cookies and other similar tracking technologies on visitors'
browsers and devices and/or transmit cookies along with user data.
However, unlike other websites, the Defendant's websites offer
consumers a choice to browse without being tracked, followed, and
targeted by third party data brokers and advertisers.
But Defendant's promises are outright lies, designed to lull users
into a false sense of security, asserts the complaint. Even after
users elect to "REJECT" cookies, or specifically "opt out" of all
cookies that sell or share users' personal information by way of
the privacy preferences window, the Defendant surreptitiously
causes several third parties -- including Adobe, Inc., Google LLC,
Meta Platforms, Inc., LiveRamp Holdings, Inc., X Corp, Wunderkind
Corporation, and others -- to place and/or transmit cookies that
track users' website browsing activities and eavesdrop on users'
private communications on the Websites, the complaint adds.
The complaint alleges that the Defendant falsely told users of the
websites that it respected their privacy and that they could avoid
tracking and data sharing when they browsed the websites. Despite
receiving notice of consumers' express declination of consent, the
Defendant defied it and violated state statutes, and tort duties
owed to Plaintiffs and those similarly situated users of the
websites, the suit says.

TI NG, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated
Plaintiff v. MEHRI & SKALET, PLLC, Defendant, Case No.
1:25-cv-04452 (D.D.C., December 19, 2025) is a class action seeking
redress for the Defendant's unlawful and negligent disclosure of
Plaintiff and other clients' personally identifiable information in
a massive data breach on December 17, 2024, in violation of common
law and in breach of express and implied contract.
The Plaintiff and other Class Members are individuals and current
and former clients of Defendant who either entrusted or had their
personally identifiable information held by M&S. However, the
Defendant betrayed Plaintiff's trust by failing to properly
safeguard and protect her PII and by disclosing her PII to
cybercriminals, the complaint says.
For the rest of their lives, the Plaintiff and the Class Members
will bear an immediate and heightened risk of all manners of
identity theft, adds the complaint. The Plaintiff has incurred and
will continue to incur damages in the form of, inter alia, loss of
privacy and/or the additional damages. Accordingly, the Plaintiff
brings this action as a direct and/or proximate result of the data
breach.

CORPORATION; MOJANG AB, and DOES 1-10, Defendants, Case No.
3:25-cv-11078-SK (N.D. Cal., Jan 2, 2026) alleges violation of the
California Invasion of Privacy Act.
According to the Plaintiff in the complaint, Defendants Microsoft

record, and transmit the contents of users' communications and

------------------------------------------------------------------
Cynthia Webking, and other similarly situated victims v. MONSANTO
COMPANY and BAYER CROPSCIENCE LP, Case No. N25C-12-523 MON (Del.

sustained by exposure to Roundup containing the active ingredient
glyphosate and the surfactant polyethoxylated tallow amine
("POEA"), as well as many, many other proven, probable, and/or

dangers associated with its use, says the complaint.

NAHGA INC: Fails to Prevent Data Breach, Rich Suit Alleges
----------------------------------------------------------
AMBER RICH, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. NAHGA, INC. d/b/a NAHGA CLAIM SERVICES,
Defendant, Case No. 2:25-cv-00645-KFW (D. Me., Dec. 26, 2025) is a
class action arising out of the Defendant's failures to properly
secure, safeguard, encrypt, and timely and adequately destroy
Plaintiff's and Class members' sensitive personal identifiable
information that it had acquired and stored for its business
purposes.
According to the Plaintiff in the complaint, due to the Defendant's
data security failures which resulted in the Data Breach,
cybercriminals were able to target Defendant's computer systems and
exfiltrate highly sensitive and personally identifiable information
and protected health information belonging to Plaintiff and Class
members. As a result of this Data Breach, he Plaintiff's and Class
members' Private Information was compromised and stolen and remains
in the hands of those cybercriminals.
The Data Breach was a direct result of Defendant's failure to
implement adequate and reasonable cybersecurity procedures and
protocols necessary to protect Plaintiff's and Class members'
Private Information with which it was entrusted for either
treatment or employment or both, says the suit.
NAHGA, Inc. d/b/a NAHGA Claim Services is a third-party

NOAH HODGIN: Bid to Compel Arbitration in Isagenix Suit OK'd
------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Isagenix International
LLC, et al., v. Noah Hodgin, Case No. 2:25-cv-01587-DGC (D. Ariz.),
the Hon. Judge Campbell entered an order as follows
1. Hodgin's Motion to Dismiss the Petition is denied.
2. The Motion to Compel Arbitration is granted. The parties
shall arbitrate Hodgin's individual claims in accordance with
the Arbitration Provision .
3. Isagenix's request for attorneys' fees and costs is denied.
4. The Clerk is directed to terminate this matter.
5. The California Class Action is not pending in this Court, and
its status therefore will not be addressed by this judge.
The Court says that Hodgin fails to satisfy any of the requirements
of § 187(2)(b). He has not shown that California law would be
chosen under section 188, that application of Arizona
unconscionability law would undermine a fundamental policy of
California law, or that California has a materially greater
interest in this case than Arizona. Because none of the factors in
section 187(2)(b) have been shown to apply, the Agreement's choice
of Arizona law will be enforced by the Court.
The Court is not persuaded by Hodgin's argument that the
Arbitration Provision is unconscionable because it does not require
an arbitrator familiar with the state law governing the
arbitration, creating the possibility that the arbitrator may
"substitute industry customs for actual law."
Isagenix is a network marketing company. It sells health-related
products.
Noah Hodgin resides in California. He has a high school education
and obtained a certification in health and wellness from the
Spencer Institute.

SAYSH CORP: Website Inaccessible to the Blind, Pittman Suit Claims
------------------------------------------------------------------
DEBBIE PITTMAN, on behalf of herself and all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. Saysh Corporation, Defendant, Case No.
1:26-cv-00015 (N.D. Ill., January 2, 2026) arises from Defendant's
failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its website to
be fully accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff and
other blind or visually-impaired individuals.
The Plaintiff browsed and intended to make an online purchase of
sneakers on Defendant's website. Despite her efforts, however, the
Plaintiff was denied a shopping experience like that of a sighted
individual due to the website's lack of a variety of features and
accommodations, says the suit.
Accordingly, the Plaintiff seeks redress for Defendant's
discriminatory conduct and asserts claims for violations of the
Americans with Disabilities Act.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, Saysh Corporation owns and
operates the website, https://saysh.com, which sells women's

SHINESTY INC: Youngren Sues Over Blind-Inaccessible Website
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dustin Youngren, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated v. Shinesty, Inc., Case No. 1:25-cv-15751 (N.D. Ill., Dec.
30, 2025), is brought against Defendant for its failure to design,
construct, maintain, and operate its Website
https://www.shinesty.com/ (hereinafter “Website” or “the
Website”) to be fully accessible to and independently usable by
the Plaintiff and other blind or visually impaired individuals.
The Defendant is denying blind and visually impaired individuals
throughout the United States equal access to the goods and services
the Defendant provides to their non-disabled customers through the
Website. The Defendant’s denial of full and equal access to its
Website, and therefore denial of its products and services offered,
and in conjunction with its physical locations, is a violation of
the Plaintiff’s rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act
(the “ADA”).
Because the 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
Defendant’s policies, practices, and procedures to that
Defendant’s Website will become and remain accessible to blind
and visually-impaired consumers. This complaint also seeks
compensatory damages to compensate Class Members for having been
subjected to unlawful discrimination, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff is a visually-impaired and legally blind person who
requires screen-reading software to read website content using the
computer.
The Defendant provides to the public the Website, which provides
consumers access to an array of goods and services, including, the
ability to purchase a variety of bold and quirky apparel including
fun-print men’s and women’s underwear, swimwear, matching sets,
themed holiday suits and dresses, loungewear, novelty outerwear and
accessories.[BN]

The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendant's Web
site, https://www.skratchlabs.com, is not fully or equally
accessible to blind and visually-impaired consumers, including the

The Plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in the

SNOW COMMERCE: Calcano Sues Over Blind-Inaccessible Website
-----------------------------------------------------------
Marcos Calcano, on behalf of himself and all other persons
similarly situated v. SNOW COMMERCE LLC, Case No. 1:25-cv-10806
(S.D.N.Y., Dec. 31, 2025), is brought against the Defendant for its
failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its website to
be fully accessible to and independently usable by the Plaintiff
and other blind or visually-impaired persons.
The Defendant's denial of full and equal access to its website, and
therefore denial of its products and services offered thereby, is a
violation of Plaintiff's rights under the Americans with
Disabilities Act ("ADA"). Because Defendant's interactive website,
https://shop.drseuss.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. Plaintiff seeks a permanent
injunction to cause a change in Defendant's corporate policies,
practices, and procedures so that 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, 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 his
computer.

SUBARU OF AMERICA: Court Narrows Claims in Robinson Suit
--------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as KATELYN ROBINSON, et al.,
v. SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC., Case No. 1:24-cv-09334-KMW-EAP
(D.N.J.), the Hon. Judge Williams entered an order granting
Defendant's Motion, in part, and dismisses with prejudice:
-- The Plaintiffs' claims for fraudulent concealment asserted
under the laws of California and Utah (Count I, to the extent
so pleaded); the Plaintiffs' unjust enrichment claims (Counts
II–III); and the Plaintiff Brenner's SBA claim for breach of
express warranty under California Civil Code section
1793.2(d)(2) (Count XII).
-- The Motion is also granted as to Brenner's UCL claim (Count
XV) to the extent it seeks monetary damages, and that aspect
of the claim is likewise dismissed with prejudice. The
remainder of the motion is denied.
The Court finds that Brenner's allegations are sufficient to
maintain a cause of action for breach of express warranty under UCC
section 2-313. Accordingly, the Defendant's Motion is denied as to
Count XI.
The Plaintiffs seek to preserve an equitable claim as a fallback in
the event their legal theories fail on the merits. That is not a
basis to proceed on unjust enrichment where Plaintiffs have alleged
legal claims seeking the same relief for the same alleged conduct.
Accordingly, the Defendant's Motion is granted as to the
Plaintiffs' unjust enrichment claims set forth in Count II.
The Defendant's final argument concerns Chaidez’s Utah-law class
claims for damages outside the Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act
(UCSPA).
The Defendant contends that, under Utah law, the UCSPA provides the
exclusive avenue for class-wide damages relief, such that any
non-UCSPA damages theories may not proceed on a class basis.
This putative multistate class action arises from allegations that
certain Subaru vehicles contain a defect in their side-view
mirrors. The Plaintiffs each purchased or leased a Subaru vehicle
in their respective home states—Alaska, California, Florida,
Texas, and Utah.
The Plaintiffs allege that, after taking possession and driving
their vehicles, they discovered the side-view mirrors shake and
vibrate while the vehicle is in motion, impairing visibility and
creating a safety risk.
The Defendant markets, distributes, and sells Subaru-branded
vehicles in the United States through a network of authorized
dealerships.

TRIZETTO PROVIDER: Barbera Sues Over Failure to Secure PHI/PII
--------------------------------------------------------------
Joseph Barbera, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. TRIZETTO PROVIDER SOLUTIONS, LLC; COGNIZANT TECHNOLOGY
SOLUTIONS CORPORATION; and BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD OF RHODE ISLAND,
Case No. 4:25-cv-01886 (D. Mo., Dec. 30, 2025), is brought against
Defendant for its failure to properly secure and safeguard the
protected health information and other personally identifiable
information of certain individuals including name, address, date of
birth, Social Security number, and health insurance information
(“PHI/PII”).
On October 2, 2025, Defendant TriZetto discovered that an
unauthorized party gained access to its system that contained
private information (hereafter referred to as the “Data
Breach”). The unauthorized access to Defendant TriZetto’s
system began in November 2024 and continued almost a year before
the unauthorized access was detected.
The Defendants have not disclosed the details of the root cause of
the Data Breach, the vulnerabilities exploited, or the remedial
measures undertaken to ensure such a breach does not occur again.
To date, these omitted details have not been explained or clarified
to Plaintiff, who retains a vested interest in ensuring that their
Private Information remains protected.
The Data Breach was a direct result of Defendants’ failure to
implement reasonable safeguards to protect PHI/PII from a
foreseeable and preventable risk of unauthorized disclosure. Had
Defendants implemented administrative, technical, and physical
controls consistent with industry standards and best practices,
they could have prevented the Data Breach.
The Defendants’ negligence resulted in the unauthorized
disclosure of Plaintiff’s Private Information to cybercriminals.
The unauthorized disclosure of Plaintiff’s PHI/PII constitutes an
invasion of a legally protected privacy interest, that is traceable
to the Defendants’ failure to adequately secure the PHI/PII in
their custody, and has resulted in actual, particularized, and
concrete harm to the Plaintiff, says the complaint.
The Plaintiff is a customer of BCBS and was a victim of the Data
Breach.
TriZetto is a revenue management service that provides care
management services to physicians, hospitals, and health
systems.[BN]

UNILEVER UNITED: Gardner Sues Over Mislabeled Deodorant Product
---------------------------------------------------------------
DORIS GARDNER, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. UNILEVER UNITED STATES, INC., Defendant,
Case No. 1:25-cv-07113 (E.D.N.Y., Dec. 29, 2025) is an action
alleging that the Defendant mislabeled its Dove Men+Care 0%
Aluminum Deodorant (the "Products").
According to the Plaintiff in the complaint, the Defendant
prominently advertises, markets, and sells the Products as a
deodorant that contains "no alcohol" (the "Alcohol
Representation"). The Alcohol Representation promises that the
Products do not contain alcohol ingredients.
The Defendant intentionally misleads consumers into believing that
the Products do not contain alcohol ingredients. It does this
because consumers believe that alcohol ingredients can be harmful
and cause skin irritation and allergic reactions. As a result,
consumers are seeking out products without alcohol ingredients to
nourish and protect their skin. However, unbeknownst to consumers,
the Products do contain an alcohol ingredient in the form of benzyl
alcohol, says the suit.
Unilever United States, Inc. manufactures personal care products.
The Company offers laundry detergents, shampoos, soaps, fragrances,

UNITED STATES: Rodriguez Balks at Withdrawal of Assistance Claims
-----------------------------------------------------------------
VELMA PACHECO-RODRIGUEZ, et al., Plaintiffs, v. FEDERAL EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT AGENCY AND DOES 1-20, Defendants, Case No. 1:26-cv-00009
(D.N.M., January 3, 2026) seeks to challenge Federal Emergency
Management Agency's practice of administratively closing or
withdrawing claims submitted under the Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon
Fire Assistance Act without issuing determinations, without
providing lawful notice or required procedures, and without
engaging in reasoned decision-making as required by law.
According to the complaint, FEMA has declared Plaintiffs' claims to
be closed and/or withdrawn without a reasoned explanation, lawful
justification, or procedural protections required by the
Administrative Procedure Act and the HPFAA. Moreover, FEMA has
refused to process Plaintiffs' Proofs of Loss (POLs) based on
unwarranted, inconsistent, and ambiguous determinations that
Plaintiffs failed to satisfy regulatory requirements, even where
FEMA's own records reflect claim development, draft POLs, or
acceptance of supporting documentation, says the suit.
Federal Emergency Management Agency is an executive agency of the
United States government that coordinates federal disaster
response, preparation, and recovery for natural and man-made
disasters. [BN]

the Plaintiff asks the Court to enter an order modifying the

VOLUSIA COUNTY, FL: Powell Amended Complaint Tossed w/o Prejudice
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as KIMBERLY POWELL, et al.,
v. THE SCHOOL BOARD OF VOLUSIA COUNTY, FLORIDA, Case No.
6:21-cv-01791-JSS-NWH (M.D. Fla.), the Hon. Judge Sneed entered an
order as follows:
1. The magistrate judge's recommendation is adopted.
2. The Defendant's motion to dismiss is granted.
3. The Plaintiff's amended complaint is dismissed without
prejudice. The Plaintiffs may file an amended complaint on or
before Jan. 30, 2026.
4. The Plaintiff's motion for class certification is denied
without prejudice. The Plaintiffs may file a renewed motion
for class certification on or before May 1, 2026
The Plaintiffs initiated this putative class action alleging
violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Specifically,
Plaintiffs allege that the Defendant failed to accommodate their
minor children's disabilities and engaged in a pattern of
discrimination and deliberate indifference on account of those
disabilities.
The Plaintiffs filed the operative second amended complaint on
April 24, 2025. The Defendant moves to dismiss the amended
complaint. The Plaintiff opposes the motion. On Dec.9, 2025, the
magistrate judge issued a recommendation that the court grant the
motion and dismiss the complaint with leave to amend. No party has
filed objections to the recommendation, and the time to do so has
passed. Upon consideration, the court adopts the recommendation.

WEAR THE PEACE: Calcano Sues Over Blind-Inaccessible Website
------------------------------------------------------------
Marcos Calcano, on behalf of himself and all other persons
similarly situated v. WEAR THE PEACE CLOTHING, INC., Case No.
1:25-cv-10758 (S.D.N.Y., Dec. 30, 2025), is brought against the
Defendant for its failure to design, construct, maintain, and
operate its website to be fully accessible to and independently
usable by the Plaintiff and other blind or visually-impaired
persons.
The Defendant's denial of full and equal access to its website, and
therefore denial of its products and services offered thereby, is a
violation of Plaintiff's rights under the Americans with
Disabilities Act ("ADA"). Because Defendant's interactive website,
https://wearthepeace.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. Plaintiff seeks a permanent
injunction to cause a change in Defendant's corporate policies,
practices, and procedures so that 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, 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 his
computer.

XERIS PHARMACEUTICALS: Faces Suit Over Unprotected Personal Info
----------------------------------------------------------------
M.D.F., on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
Plaintiff v. XERIS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., Defendant, Case No.
1:26-cv-00010 (N.D. Ill., January 2, 2026) arises from the
Defendant's failure to keep its patients' private personal and
health information confidential.
According to the complaint, the Defendant collected and transmitted
personally identifiable and sensitive health information pertaining
to Plaintiff's medical conditions, prescriptions and medical
expenses to unauthorized third parties, including Alphabet, Inc.,
Meta Platforms, Inc., Microsoft Corporation, and ByteDance, Inc.,
through the use of surreptitious online tracking tools without
Plaintiff's or Class Members' consent.
As a result of the Defendant's conduct, the Plaintiff and Class
Members have suffered numerous injuries, including: (i) invasion of
medical privacy; (ii) lack of trust in communicating with medical
providers; (iii) emotional distress and heightened concerns related
to the release of sensitive health information to third parties,
(iv) loss of benefit of the bargain; (v) diminution of value of the
sensitive health information; (vi) statutory damages and (vii)
continued and ongoing risk to their sensitive health information.
Accordingly, the Plaintiff seeks, on behalf of himself and a class
of similarly situated persons, to remedy these harms and assert the
following statutory and common law claims against Defendant:
invasion of privacy; breach of confidence; breach of fiduciary
duty; negligence; breach of implied contract; unjust enrichment;
and violations of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act.
