Ill., April 8, 2026) is a civil rights action against the Defendant for its failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its website, https://123stitch.com to be fully accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff Cole and other blind or visually-impaired individuals in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. On March 25, 2026, while searching online for cross-stitch embroidery supplies, Plaintiff Cole discovered the Defendant's website. He browsed the embroidery floss and thread category with the intent to find supplies for his projects. However, while navigating the website using screen reader software, the Plaintiff encountered multiple accessibility barriers. Plaintiff Cole asserts that contains access barriers that prevent free and full use by him and visually impaired individuals using keyboards and screen-reading software. These barriers are pervasive and include, but are not limited to: inaccurate landmark structure, inaccurate heading hierarchy, inadequate focus order, changing of content without advance warning, unclear labels for interactive elements, inaccurate alt-text on graphics, the lack of adequate labeling of form fields, the denial of keyboard access for some interactive elements, and the requirement that transactions be performed solely with a mouse. The Plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in Defendant's policies, practices, and procedures so that its 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. 1-2-3 Stitch!, Inc. operates the website that offers a variety of needlecraft products, including cross-stitch and embroidery patterns and kits, floss and threads, needles, hoops, and stitching tools, as well as quilting fabrics, sewing patterns, and accessories such as scissors, organizers, rulers, and lighting.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: David B.

Super., Los Angeles Cty., March 19, 2026) arises from the Defendants' alleged unlawful labor practices in violation of the California Labor Code. The Plaintiff alleges that she and the aggrieved employees were subjected to violations of the California Labor Code stemming from Defendants' willful misclassification, failure to pay wages for all hours worked, including minimum, regular, and overtime wages, failure to provide meal periods, failure to provide rest breaks, failure to reimburse business expenses, failure to timely pay wages upon separation of employment, and failure to provide accurate itemized wage statements. The Plaintiff was employed by the Defendants from approximately 2015 through August 2025 as a surveyor, although she was improperly classified as an independent contractor.

CAPITAL ONE SERVICES, LLC, Case No. 3:25-cv-00825-RCY (E.D. Va.), the Parties ask the Court to enter an order modifying the briefing schedule for the Plaintiff's motion for class certification pursuant to Federal Rule 23 and motion for Fair labor Standards Act (FLSA) conditional certification, providing for more time for the Defendant to file its opposition and the Plaintiff to submit her Reply. The Parties request that the Court order the Defendant to file any opposition to the Plaintiff's motion for class certification pursuant to Federal Rule 23 and motion for FLSA conditional certification by May 8, 2026, and that the Plaintiff's reply be due 14 days from the Oppositions' filing. Good cause for the requested extension exists due to the Defendant's need to prepare a thorough response to the claims set forth in the Plaintiff's memoranda and because the Plaintiff does not oppose the requested relief. The Defendant provides financial services.

CLEANCHOICE ENERGY, INC., Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-03967 (N.D. Ill., April 9, 2026) seeks to redress CleanChoice's deceptive and bad faith pricing practices that have caused Plaintiff and other residential and commercial customers in Illinois to pay considerably more for their electricity than they should have paid. According to the complaint, the Defendant has taken advantage of the deregulation of Illinois' retail electricity market by misrepresenting how its electricity rates are calculated. Among other conduct challenged in this action, CleanChoice makes these false and deceptive claims in the customer contracts and enrollment materials CleanChoice provides to Illinois customers. CleanChoice's representation in its customer contract regarding how its variable electricity rate is determined is false and deceptive, and designed to take advantage of consumers' good faith and their lack of knowledge about, and access to, accurate information about the cost of renewable energy certificates, taxes, generation and transmission charges, and wholesale market (or marketing) conditions. In reality, CleanChoice did not provide its customers with prices based on these factors but instead used a pricing methodology that focused on maximizing profits, alleges the suit. With this class action, the Plaintiff and the Class seek to level the playing field and make sure that companies like CleanChoice engage in fair and contractually-compliant business practices. CleanChoice Energy, Inc. is an alternative retail energy supplier that sells residential and commercial electricity in Illinois' deregulated retail electricity market.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Daniel J.

Environmental Seeds West LLC, Defendant, Case No. 3:26-cv-00305 (W.D. Wis., April 8, 2026) is a civil rights action against the Defendant for its failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its website, https://naturesseed.com to be fully accessible to and independently usable by the Plaintiff and other blind or visually impaired individuals in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. On March 25, 2026, Plaintiff Corbett was searching online for wildflower seeds for her home garden and discovered the Defendant's website. After reviewing the website and reading customer feedback, Corbett decided to explore the available options and purchase the California Native Wildflower Mix. However, the Plaintiff encountered multiple accessibility barriers that made the website inaccessible for screen reader use and prevented her from completing the purchase. The website contains access barriers that prevent free and full use by Plaintiff Corbett and visually impaired individuals using keyboards and screen-reading software. These barriers are pervasive and include, but are not limited to: incorrectly formatted lists, inadequate focus order, ambiguous link texts, changing of content without advance warning, inaccessible drop-down menus, and the requirement that transactions be performed solely with a mouse, says the suit.

EYEBUYDIRECT, INC., Defendant, Case No. 245765995 (Cir. Ct., Miami-Dade Cty., Fl., April 10, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant for sending unsolicited telemarketing text messages, in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"). The complaint relates that to promote its goods and services, Defendant engages in aggressive text message solicitations to consumers with no regards for consumers' rights under the TCPA, even after customers request Defendant to stop texting them. Beginning in February 5, 2024, the Defendant began bombarding Plaintiff with telemarketing text messages to Plaintiff's cellular telephone number ending in 9961 from Defendant's 95693 short-code telephone number.

Through this action, Plaintiff seeks to halt Defendant's illegal conduct, which has resulted in the invasion of privacy, harassment, aggravation, and disruption of the daily life of thousands of individuals.

HONEY BAKED HAM COMPANY, LLC, Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-01979-JPB (N.D. Ga., April 10, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant for deploying tracking technologies to intercept and collect Plaintiffs' and the Nationwide Class Members' Sensitive Information and transmit the same to the Tracking Entities. The complaint relates that the Defendant's Website displays a cookie banner (the "Cookie Banner") and a "cookie preferences" interface (the "Cookie Settings") purporting to give users meaningful control over what data the Website shares with third parties. Defendant's assurances are false. The Website begins placing and transmitting cookies and other third-party tracking technologies (the "Tracking Tools") capable of transmitting users' data the moment users visit the Website, before they can interact with the Cookie Banner or select their preferences in the Cookie Settings. The users were misled by Defendant's Cookie Banner and Cookie Settings, which led users to believe that their data would only be shared through continued use and interaction with the Website and with user consent. The Defendant invaded Plaintiffs' fundamental right to privacy and fraudulently misrepresented the Website's data-collection practices by facilitating the Tracking Entities' unlawful interception of and intrusion into Plaintiffs' Sensitive Information. In doing so, Defendant violated the federal Wiretap Act; California's Invasion of Privacy Act ("CIPA"), including illegal wiretapping and unlawful use of a pen register or trap and trace device; California's Consumer Legal Remedies Act ("CLRA"); California's Unfair Competition Law ("UCL"); Florida's Security of Communications Act ("FSCA"); and common law, including invasion of privacy, intrusion upon seclusion, fraud and deceit, and unjust enrichment, says the suit. The Plaintiffs bring this action on behalf of themselves and a putative class of similarly situated persons who were harmed by Defendant's deceptive and unlawful surveillance practices.

KEURIG DR PEPPER, INC., Defendant, Case No. 26-cv-6420 (W.D.N.Y., April 10, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant for deceptively labeling and advertising its K-Cup single-use beverage pods as "recyclable," despite the fact that a majority of consumers are unable to recycle K-Cups. The complaint relates that the Plaintiff purchased the Products in reliance on Defendant's false representations that the Products are recyclable. Plaintiff viewed Defendant's false representations on the labels and other marketing materials for the Products. If Plaintiff had known that the Products were not recyclable, Plaintiff would not have purchased the Products and would have instead sought out single-serve pods or other coffee products that are otherwise compostable, recyclable, or reusable. At a minimum, Plaintiff would not have paid as much as he did if she had known the Products could not be recycled. The Defendant's misrepresentations concerning the Products have the tendency or capacity to deceive or confuse reasonable consumers. As such, Defendant's practices violate New York consumer protection statutes, specifically New York General Business Law (GBL), says the suit. The alleged conduct of Defendant constitutes recurring, "unlawful" deceptive acts and practices in violation of GBL and as such, Plaintiff and the other New York Members seek monetary damages against Defendant. Plaintiff Tracy Sulli purchased the Products from a local retailer on numerous occasions throughout the class period.

NACOGDOCHES COUNTY HOSPITAL DISTRICT d/b/a NACOGDOCHES MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, Defendant, Case No. 9:26-cv-00262 (E.D. Tex., April 10, 2026) arises out of the recent data security incident and data breach that was perpetrated against Defendant (the "Data Breach"), which held in its possession certain personally identifiable information ("PII") and protected health information ("PHI") (collectively, the "Private Information") of individuals whose information was provided to Defendant in connection with Defendant's healthcare services. The complaint relates that in the course of providing healthcare services, Defendant received PII and PHI from numerous individuals, including Plaintiff. In turn, Defendant came into the possession of, and maintains extensive files containing PII and PHI of these individuals, and owes these individuals an affirmative duty to adequately protect and safeguard this private information against theft and misuse. Despite such duties created by statute, regulation, and common law, at all relevant times, Defendant utilized deficient data security practices, thereby allowing sensitive and private data to fall into the hands of strangers. On January 31, 2026, Defendant "became aware of a data security incident as a result of a cyber-attack in which an unauthorized party compromised Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital's computer network and information systems." Defendant's investigation revealed that the unauthorized actor first gained access to Defendant's network on January 15, 2026. The Defendant did not begin notifying affected individuals until on or around March 27, 2026. Plaintiff and Class Members have been harmed because they are at immediate risk of having their personal information used against them, adds the complaint. The Plaintiff, individually and on behalf of a nationwide class, alleges claims of (1) Negligence, (2) Negligence Per Se, (3) Breach of Implied Contract, (4) Unjust Enrichment, and (5) violation of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. Plaintiff also seeks declaratory and injunctive relief. Plaintiff asks the Court to compel Defendant to adopt reasonable information security practices to secure the sensitive PII and PHI that Defendant collects and stores in its databases and to grant such other relief as the Court deems just and proper. Plaintiff Matthew Duckworth is a citizen and resident of Nacogdoches, Texas and is a data breach victim.

NUTRIEN AG SOLUTIONS, INC.; THE MOSAIC COMPANY; MOSAIC FERTILIZER, LLC; CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.; CF INDUSTRIES NITROGEN, LLC; CF INDUSTRIES INC.; KOCH AG & ENERGY SOLUTIONS, LLC; KOCH FERTILIZER LLC; KOCH FERTILIZER WEVER, LLC; KOCH FERTILIZER BEATRICE, LLC; KOCH FERTILIZER DODGE CITY, LLC; YARA NORTH AMERICA, INC.; and DOES 1–20, Defendants, Case No. 1:26-cv-00282 (D.N.H., April 10, 2026) seeks to hold Defendants accountable for the billions of dollars they unlawfully extracted from American agriculture, and to restore for the farmers the benefits of the competitive market conditions to which they are entitled under federal law. The complaint relates that the Defendants collectively control the American fertilizer supply chain from mine to farm gate. Beginning in 2021 and continuing through the present, Defendants engaged in a conspiracy to fix, raise, and maintain fertilizer prices at supracompetitive levels and to restrict supply in order to sustain those prices. The result was predictable and documented: fertilizer prices tripled, quadrupled, and in some products quintupled from their 2020 baseline, generating record profits for each Defendant while imposing catastrophic input cost increases on American farmers. During the Class Period, Defendants entered into, continued, and gave effect to a combination and conspiracy in unreasonable restraint of trade and commerce, in violation of the Sherman Act. Defendants' anticompetitive and unlawful conduct has proximately caused injury to Plaintiff and members of the Class by restraining competition and thereby raising, maintaining, and/or stabilizing the price of Fertilizer Products at levels above the prices that would have prevailed in a competitive market, says the suit. The Plaintiff and members of the Class seek treble damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys' fees and costs. Plaintiff Blake Drohman operates a farm at 240 Road 316, Hastings, Nebraska and produces corn, seed corn, soybean, and milo. Defendants are direct competitors and among the largest producers and sellers of NPK Fertilizers in the United States.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Jonathan Voegele, Esq.

Speculative Product Design, LLC, Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-03910 (N.D. Ill., April 8, 2026) is a civil rights action against the Defendant for its failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its website, https://speckproducts.com to be fully accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff Booker and other blind or visually-impaired individuals in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. On March 3, 2026, the Plaintiff was searching online for an AirTag holder to easily keep track of his electronic devices. During his search, he came across the Defendant's website and decided to make a purchase. However, while navigating the website using his screen reader software, Plaintiff Booker encountered multiple accessibility barriers. The website contains access barriers that prevent free and full use by Plaintiff Booker and visually impaired individuals using keyboards and screen-reading software. These barriers are pervasive and include, but are not limited to: inadequate focus order, ambiguous link texts, changing of content without advance warning, lack of alt-text on graphics, inaccessible drop-down menus, and the requirement that transactions be performed solely with a mouse, says the suit. The Plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in Defendant's policies, practices, and procedures so that its 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.
