Wis., April 15, 2026) is a civil rights action against the Defendant for its failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its website, www.360fitnesssuperstore.com to be fully accessible to and ndependently usable by Rice and other blind or visually-impaired individuals in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. On January 13, 2026, while searching online for fitness equipment for his home workouts, the Plaintiff discovered the Defendant's website. Plaintiff Rice intended to purchase a treadmill, but due to the fact that the treadmill he wanted was out of stock, he decided to explore other product categories. While browsing, he found bike pedals and decided to buy them. However, he could not complete his purchase due to multiple accessibility barriers. The Plaintiff asserts that the website 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: inadequate focus order, unclear labels for interactive elements, inaccurate alt-text on graphics, inaccessible drop-down menus, the lack of adequate labeling of form fields, redundant links where adjacent links go to the same URL address, and the requirement that transactions be performed solely with a mouse. Plaintiff Rice 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. 360 Fitness LLC operates the website that offers fitness equipment and accessories, including cardio machines, strength training equipment, and home gym systems, along with workout accessories and products designed for recovery and wellness.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: David B.

The Defendant knew or should have known that the time spent by Plaintiff and the Hourly Employees in connection with the pre- and post-shift tasks was compensable under the law. Despite knowing Plaintiff and the Hourly Employees performed the pre- and post-shift tasks, Defendant failed to make any effort to stop or disallow the off-the-clock work and instead suffered and permitted it to happen. Depending on when the uncompensated work was performed, unpaid wages related to the pre- and post-shift tasks described herein are owed to Plaintiff and the Hourly Employees at the mandated overtime premium or at their standard rate of pay, says the complaint. The Plaintiff worked for Defendant at its Grand Rapids, Michigan as a non-exempt hourly employee from approximately 2003 to October 2025. The Defendant supplies fresh breads throughout the Midwest and frozen breads across the United States, serving restaurants, schools, and institutions.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Jason J.

Southfield, MI 48076 AMERICAN GENERAL: Hill Seeks Leave to Oppose Dismissal Bid ---------------------------------------------------------- In the class action lawsuit captioned as ADEAN HILL, JR., individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, v. AMERICAN GENERAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Case No. 4:26-cv-00025-ALM (E.D. Tex.), the Plaintiff asks the Court to enter an order granting the motion for leave to file opposition to motion to dismiss out of time. The Opposition was filed two days after the deadline due to a calendaring mistake by the Plaintiff's counsel. The delay was brief, the Opposition was substantive and fully briefed on the merits, and the Defendant suffered no cognizable prejudice. As the Plaintiff's counsel emphasized in his correspondence to opposing counsel, it is unfortunate that the Defendant declined to extend professional courtesy for a two-day calendaring error. That refusal has now forced the Court to address not only the pending Motion to Dismiss, but two additional, entirely unnecessary motions. These two motions, together with their respective oppositions and replies, add up to six additional briefs the Court must consider — all of which could have been avoided had Defendant agreed to a routine professional courtesy stipulation. The Defendant filed its Motion to Dismiss on March 16, 2026. Due to a calendaring error, the Plaintiff's counsel did not correctly enter the deadline in the case management system. The Plaintiff filed the Opposition early in the morning of April 1, 2026 — two days after the deadline. The Defendant operates as an insurance company. A copy of the Plaintiff's motion dated April 15, 2026, is available from PacerMonitor.com at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=l85SO7 at no extra charge.[CC] The Plaintiff is represented by: Mark L.

THIS NOTICE OF PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF CLASS ACTION ("NOTICE") WAS AUTHORIZED BY THE COURT. IT IS NOT A LAWYER SOLICITATION. PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY. WHY SHOULD I READ THIS NOTICE? This Notice is given pursuant to an order issued by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Court"). This Notice serves to inform you of the proposed settlement of the class action lawsuit (the "Litigation") for $72.5 million in cash (the "Settlement"), and the hearing (the "Settlement Hearing") to be held by the Court to consider the fairness, reasonableness, and adequacy of the Settlement, as set forth in the Stipulation of Settlement dated March 27, 2026, by and between Settlement Class Representative Jane Doe ("Class Representative"), on behalf of herself and the Class, on the one hand, and Defendant Bank of America, N.A. ("Defendant"), on the other hand.1 You may be a Class Member eligible to receive compensation related to the Settlement. HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM A CLASS MEMBER? You are a "Class Member" if you were abused or trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein ("Epstein"), or by any person who is connected to or otherwise associated with Jeffrey Epstein or any Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking venture during the period between June 30, 2008 and July 6, 2019, as defined below: All women who were sexually abused or trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein, or by any person who is connected to or otherwise associated with Jeffrey Epstein or any Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking venture, between June 30, 2008 and July 6, 2019, inclusive. This includes, but is not limited to: (1) girls under the age of 18 who engaged in sexual contact with Epstein and/or a person connected to or otherwise associated with Epstein, and received money or something else of value in exchange for engaging in that sexual contact; (2) women aged 18 or older who were forced, coerced, or defrauded into engaging in sexual contact by Epstein, and/or anyone connected to Epstein or otherwise associated with Epstein by, for example, using physical force, threatening harm or legal action, making a false promise, or causing them to believe that not engaging in sexual contact would result in harm, and who received money or something else of value in exchange for engaging in that sexual contact; and (3) girls or women of any age with whom Epstein, and/or a person connected to or otherwise associated with Epstein, engaged in sexual contact without consent (even if the sexual contact was perceived to be consensual provided that the girl or woman was under the age of 18 at the time of engaging in that contact). CAN I EXCLUDE MYSELF FROM THE SETTLEMENT? Yes. If you do not want to receive a payment from this Settlement, or you want to keep the right to sue or continue to sue Defendant on your own about the legal issues in this case, then you must take steps to exclude yourself from, or "optout" of, the Class. If you are requesting exclusion because you want to bring your own lawsuit based on the matters alleged in this Litigation, you may want to consult an attorney and discuss whether any individual claim that you may wish to pursue would be time-barred by the applicable statutes of limitation or repose. To exclude yourself from the Class, you must send a signed letter by First-Class Mail saying that you want to be excluded from the Class in the following Litigation: Jane Doe v. Bank of America, N.A., No. 1:25-CV-8520 (JSR). Be sure to include your name, address, telephone number. Your exclusion request must be postmarked no later than May 13, 2026 and sent to the Fund Administrator at: Simone Lelchuk Resolution Services LLC c/o FREJKA PLLC 415 East 52nd Street | Suite 3 New York, New York 10022 CAN I OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT, THE REQUESTED ATTORNEYS' FEES, THE REQUESTED PAYMENT OF COSTS AND EXPENSES AND/OR THE PLAN OF ALLOCATION?

BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., Case No. 6:26-cv-00021-JSS-RMN (M.D. Fla.), the Plaintiff asks the Court to enter an order granting unopposed motion for clarification of class certification deadline and motion to extend class certification deadline. The Plaintiff Castellon requests that the Court: (i) pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(a), provide clarification relating to a possible clerical error of the deadline to move for class certification in the Case Management and Scheduling Order; and (ii) to the extent necessary, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4), extend that deadline to July 6, 2027. The Plaintiff cannot meet the June 1, 2026, class certification deadline, despite his diligence. That is why the parties jointly proposed a class certification deadline in May 2027. In addition, the Plaintiff has been diligent in seeking clarification and modification of this deadline. This motion was filed promptly after Plaintiff’s counsel identified the discrepancy and conferred with opposing counsel. There is no suggestion that any delay by Plaintiff contributed to the current circumstances. Finally, there is no potential for prejudice if the class certification deadline was moved to July 6. 2027. To the contrary, Plaintiff would be prejudiced if the schedule was not modified. Moreover, correcting the deadline now—before it expires—promotes the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of this action. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 1. Resetting the class certification would also not require modification of any other deadline in the Order. All other deadlines relating to discovery, expert disclosures, dispositive and Daubert motions remain undisturbed—as does the March 6, 2028, trial date. The Defendant is a U.S.-based financial institution.

BBG SERVICE GROUP INC, MARCOS BRITO GARCIA, and JORGE BELLO, Defendants, Case No. 1:26-cv-22574-XXXX (S.D. Fla., April 14, 2026) is an action to recover money damages for unpaid overtime wages under the laws of the United States. This action is brought by the Plaintiff and those similarly situated to recover from the Corporate Defendant unpaid overtime compensation, as well as an additional amount as liquidated damages, costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees under the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The complaint relates that during the Plaintiff's employment with the Defendants, he worked approximately 75 hours per week without being properly compensated for any of the overtime that the Plaintiff worked for the Defendants. The Corporate Defendant did not pay Plaintiff at the federally mandated overtime rate, says the suit. Plaintiff LESTER BAEZ was employed by the Defendants as a driver from August 2025 to March 27, 2026. Defendant BBG SERVICE GROUP INC is a company engaged in the business of transporting non-emergency patients to and from medical facilities throughout Florida. MARCOS BRITO GARCIA, and JORGE BELLO, are a Florida company and Florida residents, respectively, having their main place of business in Miami-Dade County, Florida, where Plaintiff worked for the Defendants.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Ruben Martin Saenz, Esq.

BISSELL INC., Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-04223 (N.D. Ill., April 15, 2026) arises from the Defendant's engagement in unfair and deceptive conduct by making material representations about its steam cleaners' safety, and omissions regarding the product's dangers. According to the complaint, the Defendant designed, marketed, distributed, and sold the Cleaners with attachments that can unexpectedly detach from the steam cleaners and expel hot water onto users, posing a serious burn hazard. On April 9, 2026, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, together with Bissell, announced the recall of approximately 1.7 million Cleaners (in addition to 96,000 Cleaners in Canada) sold at major retailers nationwide from October 2024 to March 2026. This resulted in Bissell receiving at least 206 reports of hot water or steam unexpectedly escaping from the steam cleaners' attachments, including 161 reports of burn injuries with a report of one second degree burn. Allegedly, the Recall fails to offer any monetary relief to the Plaintiff and Class Members who purchased the defective Cleaners. Instead of providing a proper remedy, Bissell merely supplies customers with new attachments and offers no access to a qualified technician. As a result, consumers are forced, without substantive instruction or professional help, to attach components to a defective Cleaner, which may lead to additional burn injuries. Bissell's assertion that these attachments are a simple, effective fix is misleading, contends the suit. Had the Plaintiff and Class Members known about the Defect, they would not have purchased the Cleaners or paid less. This action seeks to hold Defendant accountable for its conscious decision to use a dangerous design, conceal the known hazard associated with the defect, and its insufficient recall remedy. Bissell Inc. provides cleaning products. The Company offers vacuums, steams, sweepers, floor cleaning formulas, febreze freshness, mops brooms, and carpet cleaning products.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Kevin Laukaitis, Esq.

BLACK CULTURAL ZONE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, a California nonprofit corporation; and DOES 1 through 10, inclusive, Case No. 26CV180431 (Cal. Super.

The Defendants are subject to the California Labor Code, Wage Orders issued by the Industrial Welfare Commission ("IWC"), and the California Business & Professions Code. Despite these requirements, throughout the statutory period Defendants maintained a systematic, company-wide policy and practice of: Failing to pay employees for all hours worked, including all minimum wages, and overtime wages in compliance with the California Labor Code and IWC Wage Orders; Failing to provide employees with timely and duty-free meal periods in compliance with the California Labor Code and IWC Wage Orders, failing to maintain accurate records of all meal periods taken or missed, and failing to pay an additional hour's pay at the regular rate of pay for each workday a meal period violation occurred; Failing to authorize and permit employees to take timely and duty-free rest periods in compliance with the California Labor Code and IWC Wage Orders, and failing to pay an additional hour's pay at the employee's regular rate of pay for each workday a rest period violation occurred; Failing to indemnify employees for necessary business expenses incurred; Willfully failing to pay employees all minimum wages, overtime wages, meal period premium wages, and rest period premium wages due within the time period specified by California law when employment terminates; Failing to maintain accurate records of the hours that employees worked; and Failing to provide employees with accurate, itemized wage statements containing all the information required by the California Labor Code and IWC Wage Orders, says the complaint.

Cal., March 30, 2026) is a putative class action brought against the Defendant pursuant to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. To promote its goods and services, the Defendant allegedly engages in telemarketing text messages at unlawful times. The Defendant violated TCPA by initiating telephone solicitations to telephone subscribers such as Plaintiff and the Class members before the hour of 8 a.m. or after the hour of 9 p.m., says the suit. Through this action, the Plaintiff seeks injunctive relief to halt Defendant's unlawful conduct which has resulted in intrusion into the peace and quiet in a realm that is private and personal to Plaintiff and the Class members.

BRIDGES CONSUMER HEALTHCARE, LLC, Case No. 1:26-cv-03246 (S.D.N.Y., April 21, 2026), is brought for violations of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), arising from Defendant's failure to ensure that its e-commerce Websites, https://econugenics.com and https://www.thermacare.com are accessible to blind and visually impaired individuals. This action arises from Defendant's failure to make its digital properties accessible to Plaintiff Angel Jenkins and all others similarly situated, which violates the effective communication and equal access requirements of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"). The Defendant's Websites contains pervasive, systemic accessibility barriers that deny blind and visually impaired users full and equal access to the goods, services, information, and purchasing functions available to sighted users. The pervasive accessibility barriers on these Websites prevent Plaintiff and other legally blind individuals from independently browsing, researching, comparing, and purchasing products, thereby denying them the full and equal enjoyment of the Defendant's goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations in violation of applicable federal, state, and city law, says the complaint. The Plaintiff is legally blind due to Retinitis Pigmentosa, a progressive retinal degenerative disease that causes severe visual field constriction and substantial central vision loss.

CARECLOUD, INC., Defendant, Case No. 3:26-cv-03963-GC-RLS (D.N.J., April 15, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant for its failure to properly secure and safeguard Plaintiff's and other similarly situated individuals' personally identifiable information ("PII") and protected health information ("PHI"), resulting in a devastating data breach. The complaint relates that as a condition of receiving services, Defendant requires that patients entrust it with highly sensitive PII and PHI. By obtaining, collecting, using, and deriving a benefit from Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information, Defendant assumed legal and equitable duties it owed to them and knew or should have known that it was responsible for protecting Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information from unauthorized access and exfiltration. However, the Defendant notified the SEC about a data security incident that caused a network disruption on March 16, 2026. The following types of PII and PHI were accessed and/or acquired without authorization in the Breach, including: (i) full names; (ii) addresses; (iii) Social Security numbers; (iv) dates of birth; (v) health insurance information; and/or (vi) medical information (e.g., treatment, diagnosis, and prescription information). The Defendant has not yet provided individual notice of the Data Breach to all victims of the Data Breach. As such, the risk of identity theft and fraud will remain for Plaintiff's and Class Members' respective lifetimes, the complaint asserts. The Plaintiff brings this class action lawsuit to address Defendant's inadequate safeguarding of Class Members' Private Information that it collected and maintained. Plaintiff Adria Avery and Class Members are current and former patients of Defendant.

Balks at Real Estate Market Monopoly ------------------------------------------------------------ MALM, INC., individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v. COSTAR GROUP, INC., and COSTAR REALTY INFORMATION, INC., Defendants, Case No. 2:26-cv-04052 (C.D. Cal., April 15, 2026) is an antitrust class action brought by the Plaintiff, on behalf of itself and others similarly situated, under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, and on behalf of itself and a California Subclass under the California Cartwright Act and the California Unfair Competition Law. The suit challenges CoStar's willful acquisition and maintenance of monopoly power in the United States markets for commercial real estate including information services and listing databases. CoStar has wielded that power to charge supracompetitive prices to Plaintiff and the proposed Class and California Subclass -- CRE brokers and professionals who have no viable alternative to CoStar's services. According to the complaint, CoStar achieved this dominance not through superior products or competitive pricing, but through a decades-long campaign to eliminate rivals, followed by an exclusionary scheme to ensure that no new competitor can emerge. With its competitors eliminated, CoStar implemented a scheme to foreclose future competition by controlling the CRE data that any would-be rival would need to build a viable alternative platform. CoStar's Scheme has substantially foreclosed competition in the relevant antitrust markets and continues to do so. The Plaintiff and the members of the proposed Class and California Subclass have paid and continue to pay supracompetitive prices for CRE information and listing services -- prices no firm could sustain in a competitive market -- because CoStar has eliminated meaningful alternatives, says the suit. CoStar operates commercial real estate platforms and databases in the United States.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Halley W. Josephs, Esq.

D1 Installation Corp d/b/a Umbrella, Central Construction Management LLC, Gregory Kalamaras, Edwin Samaniego Caivinagua, and Jorge Enciso, Case No. 1:26-cv-03239-JPC (S.D.N.Y., April 21, 2026), is brought to recover damages for the Defendants' egregious violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and the New York Labor Law ("NYLL") arising from Plaintiffs' employment with Defendants at various worksites throughout New York as a result of the Defendants' failure to pay overtime wages. The Defendants regularly required Plaintiffs to work in excess of 40 hours per week without paying them appropriate overtime compensation at the rate of one and one-half times their regular rate of pay, as required by federal and state laws. The Defendants' flat weekly rate structure did not account for or compensate Plaintiffs for the overtime hours they were required to work each week. The Plaintiffs were victims of Defendants' common policy and practices which violated their rights under the FLSA and the NYLL, by failing to pay all wages earned for hours worked, failing to timely remit wages, and unlawfully withholding wages as a purported "deposit." The Defendants' pay practices resulted in Plaintiffs not receiving payment for all hours worked and not receiving wages on a timely basis as required by applicable federal and state law, says the complaint. The Plaintiffs were employed by Defendants construction workers/laborers. D1 and Central LLC operate and/or operated as a construction business(es), and the construction workers/laborers of the Defendants were assigned various tasks, including assembling suspended scaffolds and pipes, working in the scaffolds, laying bricks, caulking, pointing, and welding.[BN] The Plaintiffs were represented by: Diana Seo, Esq.

DABELLA EXTERIORS, LLC, a foreign limited liability company, and DOES 1-10, inclusive, Case No. 1:26-cv-01705 (D. Colo., April 21, 2026), is brought for unpaid minimum wages and overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"); a Colorado Rule 23 class action for unpaid wages, minimum wage violations, overtime violations, waiting time penalties, and misclassification penalties under the Colorado Wage Claim Act ("CWCA") and the Colorado Overtime and Minimum Pay Standards Order ("COMPS Order"). This case challenges DaBella's uniform, company-wide business model of recruiting, classifying, and operating door-to-door and in-home sales representatives, whom it titles "3508 Direct Sellers," as 1099 independent contractors while controlling them as employees through mandatory daily trainings, centrally dictated scripting, scheduling control, manager-on duty approvals, performance discipline, uniform compensation structures, and retaliation. The result has been systematic underpayment and nonpayment of earned wages, shifting of core business expenses to workers in a manner that depressed effective wages below lawful minimums, failure to pay federal weekly and Colorado daily overtime premiums, failure to maintain accurate pay and time records, and retaliation against workers who raised concerns. After receiving a pre-filing demand identifying these violations, DaBella reclassified a portion of its sales workforce as W-2 employees. That reclassification is an admission against interest. It also confirms that the prior independent contractor structure operated to shift employer-side costs onto workers rather than to reflect a genuine independent business relationship. The reclassification of Plaintiff is illustrative. Upon conversion to W-2, his effective hourly compensation decreased, because DaBella controlled the compensation levers in both classifications. If the prior classification reflected economic reality, a conversion to employee status would not have produced a reduction in effective compensation, says the complaint. The Plaintiffs worked for DaBella in Colorado as "3508 Direct Sellers." DaBella is a residential home-improvement company that markets, sells, and arranges installation of exterior products, including roofing, windows, siding, gutters, and bath systems.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Joseph P.

[CC] DANAHER CORP: Continues to Defend Shareholder Derivative Suits -------------------------------------------------------------- Danaher Corp. disclosed in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, for the period ending March 27, 2026, dated April 20, 2026, and delivered to the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2026, that the Company continues to defend itself from shareholder derivative suits in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. In March 2026, putative shareholder derivative cases (relating to substantially the same factual allegations as those made in the Hawkins Action) were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the Delaware Court of Chancery. The outcomes of these proceedings remain uncertain, and the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any. The Company reviews the adequacy of its legal reserves on a quarterly basis and establishes reserves for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Danaher Corp is a global science and technology company that designs, manufactures, and markets professional, medical, industrial, and commercial products and services. The company operates through a portfolio of businesses focused on life sciences, diagnostics, and environmental and applied solutions. DANAHER CORP: Settlement Reached in Securities Suit --------------------------------------------------- Danaher Corp. disclosed in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, for the period ending March 27, 2026, dated April 20, 2026, and delivered to the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2026, that a putative securities class action was filed on July 17, 2023, in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, captioned Hawkins v. Danaher Corporation et al., Case No. 1:23-cv-02055 (the Hawkins Action). The complaint was amended on December 29, 2023, and names the Company and certain of its current or former officers. The complaint asserts claims under Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), SEC Rule 10b-5, and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, purportedly on behalf of persons and entities who acquired the Company's securities between January 27, 2022, and October 23, 2023 (the Class Period). Plaintiffs allege that, during the Class Period, defendants made material misrepresentations or omissions regarding, among other things, the Company's anticipated revenues for its bioprocessing business that artificially inflated the Company's stock price. Plaintiffs seek, among other things, damages in an unspecified amount, as well as fees and costs. Defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint on February 27, 2024, and on August 4, 2025, the court granted in part and denied in part defendants' motion to dismiss. The parties have executed a settlement agreement to resolve this matter, and based on the terms of the agreement, the Company recorded a settlement liability as well as an offsetting insurance receivable. The settlement agreement remains subject to court approval. The Company does not expect the resolution of this litigation to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or cash flows. Danaher Corp is a global science and technology company that designs, manufactures, and markets professional, medical, industrial, and commercial products and services. The company operates through a portfolio of businesses focused on life sciences, diagnostics, and environmental and applied solutions.

This action seeks appropriate monetary, declaratory, and equitable relief based on Defendants' willful failure to compensate Plaintiff with overtime wage as required by the FLSA.

DJI SERVICE LLC, Case No. 1:26-cv-03302 (S.D.N.Y., April 21, 2026), is brought against the Defendant for its failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its interactive website to be fully accessible to and independently usable by 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://store.dji.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 the computer. DJI SERVICE LLC, operates the DJI online retail store, as well as the DJI interactive Website and advertises, markets, and operates in the State of New York and throughout the United States.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Dana L.

DWWVF INC. dba VILLA FORD OF ORANGE; and DOES 1 through 100, Case No. 30-2026-01561121-CU-OE-CJC (Cal. Super. Ct., Orange Cty., April 7, 2026), is brought as a result of the Defendants failure to provide compliant meal periods; failure to pay for all hours worked; failure to pay all overtime owed; wage statement penalties; and violations of the Unfair Competition Law. The Defendants failed to provide Plaintiff and the Class Members with compliant meal breaks because Defendants' management instructed the Class Members to clock back in from lunch breaks early to provide coverage, resulting in shortened meal periods throughout their employment. Additionally, Plaintiff and the Class Members were called during their meal breaks to assist customers, requiring them to leave the upstairs lunchroom and return to the sales floor to help with customer needs. Despite not being provided with compliant meal breaks, Defendants did not pay premium pay for these missed breaks at Plaintiff's and the Class Members' regular rate of pay. Defendants failed to pay Plaintiff and the Class Members for all hours worked, including but not limited to, all hours Plaintiff and the Class Members were subject to the control of Defendants while off-the-clock and therefore did not receive minimum wage for each hour worked. Plaintiff and the Class Members were required to perform work off-the-clock on frequent occasions. The Defendants failed to pay Plaintiff and the Class Members all overtime owed. Plaintiff and the Class Members periodically worked hours that entitled them to overtime compensation under the law but were not fully compensated for those hours, says the complaint. The Plaintiff was employed by Defendants as a Direct Sales Manager at Defendants' Orange, California location from approximately July 2020, through the present. DWWVF Inc., doing business as David W.

ESN SWIM SCHOOL, LLC, Case No. 4:26-cv-03146 (S.D. Tex., April 20, 2026), is brought under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") to recover unpaid wages and other damages from the Defendant. The Plaintiff and the other Straight Time Employees regularly work more than 40 hours per workweek. But the Defendant does not always pay the Plaintiff and its other Straight Time Employees required overtime wages. Instead, the Defendant pays the Plaintiff and its other Straight Time Employees the same hourly rate for all hours worked, including those worked after 40 in a workweek, for at least part of their employment (a practice known as "straight time for overtime"). the Defendant does not pay the Plaintiff and its other Straight Time Employees on a "salary basis" as required to qualify for any relevant overtime exemption. The Defendant likewise requires the Plaintiff and the other Straight Time Employees to clock out for their meal periods. However, the Defendant does not relieve the Plaintiff and the other Straight Time Employees of all work duties during their unpaid meal periods. Instead, as a matter of understaffing, the Defendant regularly requires the Plaintiff and the other Straight Time Employees to remain on-duty during their unpaid meal periods and interrupts them with work duties on a frequent basis. As a result, the Plaintiff and the other Straight Time Employees cannot truly use the unpaid meal period time effectively for their own purposes, says the complaint. The Plaintiff worked for ESN as a lifeguard, instructor, and team manager in Spring, Texas from April 2022 to March 2026.

Ct., San Diego Cty., April 1, 2026), is brought against thee Defendants actions of spam and the surveillance which are illegal under California law, The Defendant funds a network of affiliate marketers who blanket California consumers with illegal spam. They deploy every deceptive tactic in the proverbial playbook--falsified headers, spoofed domains, and deceptive subject lines--to trick unwary recipients into opening messages they would otherwise ignore. In short, Defendant is the definition of a company that profits from modern spam abuse. The harm does not stop at the inbox. After being deceived into engaging with the spam, Plaintiff was funneled to Defendant's website at firstam.com where Defendant installed a web of illegal tracking pixels on Plaintiffs device. Those tracking technologies enable Defendant and its partners to follow Plaintiff s behavior across the internet, converting a single deceptive email into ongoing digital surveillance, says the complaint. The Plaintiff received a misleading spam e-mail from Defendant and visited Defendant's website after engaging with the deceptive spam.

Securities Class Suit ---------------------------------------------------------------- Fly-E Group, Inc. disclosed in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, for the period ending Dec. 31, 2025, dated and delivered to the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2026, that it discloses that the Company continues to defend itself from the Kurt federal securities class suit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. On September 8, 2025, a federal securities class action was filed in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York, by plaintiff Dino Kurt, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, against defendants the Company, chief executive officer (the CEO) Zhou Ou, and former chief financial officer (the CFO) Shiwen Feng (the Class Action). The complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 during the class period spanning from July 15, 2025, to August 14, 2025. The plaintiff claims that defendants provided materially false and misleading positive statements about revenue growth, brand reputation, and business expansion, while concealing or minimizing material adverse facts concerning the safety of the Company's lithium battery and inadequate forecasting processes, which were already taking a material toll on E-vehicle (the EV) sales revenue. The plaintiff further alleges that when the Company filed a Form NT 10-Q on August 14, 2025, which disclosed a 32% decrease in net revenues primarily driven by a decline in total units sold, attributed by the Company to recent lithium-battery accidents involving E-Bikes and E-Scooters, the price of the Company's common stock declined dramatically by about 87% in a single day, resulting in economic loss for the plaintiff and the class. The relief sought includes determining that the action may be maintained as a class action, requiring defendants to pay damages sustained by the plaintiff and the class, and awarding pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, along with reasonable attorneys fees, expert fees, and other costs, with the monetary damages sought being certified to be in excess of $150,000. Fly-E Group, Inc. is a mobility technology company focused on the design, manufacture, and sale of electric vehicles, including e-bikes and e-scooters, powered by lithium battery systems. The Company markets its products to consumers and commercial customers in domestic and international markets. FLY-E GROUP: Continues to Defend Shareholder Derivative Suit in NY ------------------------------------------------------------------ Fly-E Group, Inc. disclosed in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, for the period ending Dec. 31, 2025, dated and delivered to the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2026, that it discloses that the Company continues to defend itself from a consolidated shareholder derivative suit in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. On October 28, 2025, a shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed purportedly on behalf of the Company, as nominal defendant, against certain of its current and former directors and officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, captioned Flynn v. Ou et al., No. 1:25-cv-06036 (E.D.N.Y.) (the Flynn Action). It further explains that the Flynn Action and a related action captioned Shah (the Shah Action) are based on the same alleged facts and circumstances as the Class Action and seek damages from the current and former directors and officers and an order directing the Company and current and former directors and officers to take actions to reform and improve corporate governance and internal procedures. On December 9, 2025, the Court consolidated the Flynn Action and Shah Action into a single consolidated action captioned In re Fly-E Group, Inc. Stockholder Derivative Litigation, No. 1:25-cv-06036 (E.D.N.Y.) (the Consolidated Derivative Action), and appointed co-lead counsel. The disclosure notes that the current and former director and officer defendants dispute the allegations in the complaints and intend to vigorously defend against all claims, and that, given the preliminary stage of the lawsuit and the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the Company cannot determine with certainty the outcome of the Consolidated Derivative Action at this time. Fly-E Group, Inc. is a mobility technology company focused on the design, manufacture, and sale of electric vehicles, including e-bikes and e-scooters, powered by lithium battery systems. The Company markets its products to consumers and commercial customers in domestic and international markets.

Global Intimates LLC, Defendant, Case No. 2:26-cv-655 (E.D. Wis., April 15, 2026) is a civil rights action against the Defendant for its failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its website, https://www.leonisa.com to be fully accessible to and independently usable by Cruz and other blind or visually-impaired individuals in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. On November 6, 2025, while searching on Google for undergarments with sculpting and supporting features, Plaintiff Cruz came across Defendant's website. Encouraged by customers' reviews, she decided to explore the website with the intention of making a purchase. During her visit, she became interested in the "Stay-In-Place Seamless Shapewear Shorts" and attempted to purchase them. However, while navigating the website using her screen reader software, she encountered multiple accessibility barriers that limited her ability to complete the transaction independently. These barriers are pervasive and include, but are not limited to: changing of content without advance warning, unclear labels for interactive elements, inaccurate alt-text on graphics, inaccessible drop-down menus, the denial of keyboard access for some interactive elements, and the requirement that transactions be performed solely with a mouse, says the suit. Plaintiff Cruz 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. Global Intimates LLC operates the website that offers a selection of intimate apparel and shapewear, including bras, panties, bodysuits, shaper shorts, posture correctors, swimwear, and men's underwear.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: David B.

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES INSURANCE COMPANY, et al., Case No. 8:23-cv-03033-PX (D. Md.), the Plaintiff asks the Court to enter an order granting its motion, pursuant to Local Rule 105.2(a), for leave to file a short surreply in further support of its motion to compel production of documents, motion to strike the declaration of Dr. Andrew Hildreth, and motion for sanctions. Good cause exists to permit the short surreply. Local Rule 105.2(a) permits a surreply when the moving party could not have addressed the matters at issue in its reply. That standard is readily satisfied here: Dr. Hildreth's deposition testimony did not exist when the Plaintiff filed its Reply, and the Defendants' April 13, 2026, production post-dates both the reply and the deposition. The proposed surreply is brief, limited to the new material, and does not reargue the law. The Defendant is an American vehicle insurance company.

The Plaintiff and the Putative Class Members regularly worked more than 40 hours in a week. But the Defendant does not pay its Nurses, including the Plaintiff and the Putative Class Members, for all overtime hours they work. But due to the nature of the healthcare industry, the Plaintiff and the Putative Class Members are routinely forced to work overtime, outside of their scheduled shifts, off the clock to complete their job duties. the Defendant knew, or should have known, the Plaintiff and the Putative Class Members were regularly working off the clock because the Defendant expected and required these employees to do so. In fact, the Plaintiff and the Putative Class Members made multiple complaints to the Defendant that its policies resulted in the underpayment and/or outright denial of their overtime. Thus, under the Defendant's common policies and practices, the Plaintiff and the Putative Class Members were denied overtime for all hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a workweek in violation of the FLSA, says the complaint.

JBS USA FOOD COMPANY, TYSON FOODS, INC., et al., Case No. 1:22-cv-02946-PAB-STV (D. Colo.), the Hon. Judge Brimmer entered an order granting the Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary approval of settlements with Greater Omaha and Agri Stats and to direct notice. The Court further entered an order that plaintiffs shall send notice of the Greater Omaha and Agri Stats settlement pursuant to the notice schedule approved by the Court in this order. Because class members will receive the same type of relief and have claims that present common questions of fact and law, the Court finds that class certification is appropriate because the class questions predominate over individual questions and the settlement class is a superior method of resolving this litigation. The Court finds that the presumption of fairness, see In re Warfarin Sodium, 391 F.3d at 535, is sufficient to preliminarily approve the terms of the proposed settlement agreements.

Scott, individually, and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. KLOECKNER METALS CORPORATION, Case No. 1:26-cv-02258-VMC (N.D. Ga., April 23, 2026), is brought for its failure to properly secure and safeguard Plaintiff's and Class Members' personally identifiable information stored within Defendant's information network, including, without limitation, full name and Social Security number (these types of information, inter alia, being thereafter referred to, collectively, as ("Private Information" or "PII"). With this action, Plaintiff seeks to hold Defendant responsible for the harms it caused and will continue to cause Plaintiff and other similarly situated persons in the massive and preventable cyberattack purportedly discovered by Defendant on February 23, 2026, in which unauthorized third-party gained access to its IT Network between February 17, 2026, and February 23, 2026 and accessed highly sensitive PII that was being kept unprotected ("Data Breach"). The Defendant maintained the Private Information in a reckless manner. In particular, Private Information was maintained on and/or accessible from Defendant's network in a condition vulnerable to cyberattacks. Upon information and belief, the mechanism of the cyberattack and potential for improper disclosure of Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information was a known risk to Defendant, and thus, Defendant knew that failing to take reasonable steps to secure the Private Information left it in a dangerous condition. By obtaining, collecting, using, and deriving a benefit from Plaintiff's and Class Members' PII, Defendant assumed legal and equitable duties to those individuals. These duties arise from state and federal statutes and regulations, and common law principles. The Defendant disregarded the rights of Plaintiff and Class Members by intentionally, willfully, recklessly, and/or negligently failing to take and implement adequate and reasonable measures to ensure that Plaintiff's and Class Members' PII was safeguarded, failing to take available steps to prevent unauthorized disclosure of data and failing to follow applicable, required and appropriate protocols, policies, and procedures regarding the encryption of data, even for internal use, says the complaint. The Plaintiff is a former employee of Defendant who entrusted his Private Information to Defendant as a condition of obtaining employment. The Defendant is a leading producer-independent distributor of steel and metal products.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Casondra Turner, Esq.

NUTRIEN LTD.; NUTRIEN AG SOLUTIONS; THE MOSAIC CO.; MOSAIC FERTILIZER, LLC; CF INDUSTRIES HOLDINGS, INC.; KOCH INDUSTRIES, LLC; KOCH AG & ENERGY SOLUTIONS, LLC; KOCH FERTILIZER WEVER, LLC; KOCH AGRONOMIC SERVICES, LLC; KOCH FERTILIZER, LLC; YARA INTERNATIONAL ASA; YARA NORTH AMERICA, INC.; CANPOTEX LTD.; INTERNATIONAL FERTILIZER ASSOCIATION; AND THE FERTILIZER INSTITUTE, Defendants, Case No. 5:26-cv-06065-FJG (W.D. Mo., April 9, 2026) arises out of Defendants' conduct to raise, fix, maintain, or stabilize the price of NPK Fertilizers in the United States. The complaint alleges that beginning January 1, 2020, Defendants entered into an agreement, combination, or conspiracy to limit the supply and fix, raise, maintain, or stabilize prices of NPK Fertilizer sold in the United States at supra-competitive levels. The Defendants' conspiracy has enabled the Manufacturer Defendants to increase their profit margins exponentially, while forcing U.S. farmers to pay inflated prices even when market conditions do not predict or deliver net crop income. The Manufacturer Defendants maintain elevated prices without concern that their competitors will try to steal their market share or for potential new market entrants because high barriers to entry prevent new competitors from entering the market. The complaint notes that the Plaintiff and the Class have paid supra-competitive prices for the NPK Fertilizers during the Class Period. By reason of the alleged antitrust violations, Plaintiff and Class Members have sustained injury, having paid higher prices for the NPK Fertilizers than they would have paid in the absence of Defendants' illegal contract, combination, or conspiracy, and as a result, they have suffered damages, says the suit. The Plaintiff seek equitable and injunctive relief, and other relief pursuant to federal antitrust laws. Plaintiff Brian Miller is an independent family farmer located near Rushville, Missouri. Plaintiff Miller has purchased NPK fertilizer directly from at least one Defendant. The Nutrien Defendants, the Mosaic Defendants, CF Industries Holdings, Inc., the Koch Defendants, the Yara Defendants, and Cantopex Ltd.

Minn., April 20, 2026), is brought arising because Defendant's Website (www.armra.com) (the "Website" or "Defendant's Website") is not fully and equally accessible to people who are blind or who have low vision in violation of both the general non-discriminatory mandate and the effective communication and auxiliary aids and services requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA") and its implementing regulations. In addition to her claim under the ADA, Plaintiff also asserts a companion cause of action under the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA). The Defendant owns, operates, and/or controls its Website and is responsible for the policies, practices, and procedures concerning the Website's development and maintenance. As a consequence of her experience visiting Defendant's Website, including in the past year, and from an investigation performed on her behalf, the Plaintiff found Defendant's Website has a number of digital barriers that deny screen-reader users like Plaintiff full and equal access to important Website content--content Defendant makes available to its sighted Website users. Still, the Plaintiff would like to, intends to, and will attempt to access Defendant's Website in the future to browse, research, or shop online and purchase the products and services that Defendant offers. The Defendant's policies regarding the maintenance and operation of its Website fail to ensure its Website is fully accessible to, and independently usable by, individuals with vision-related disabilities. The Plaintiff and the putative class have been, and in the absence of injunctive relief will continue to be, injured, and discriminated against by Defendant's failure to provide its online Website content and services in a manner that is compatible with screen reader technology, says the complaint. The Plaintiff is and has been legally blind and is therefore disabled under the ADA. The Defendant offers colostrum supplements and accessories for sale including, but not limited to, colostrum health revival supplements, colostrum performance revival supplements, bundles, carafes, apparel, supplement mixers, and more.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Patrick W.

RAW NUTRITION, INC., a New Jersey corporation, Case No. 2:26-cv-04163-CV-RAO (C.D. Cal., April 7, 2026), is brought alleging that its Raw Isolate Protein shakes, which are manufactured, packaged, labeled, advertised, distributed, and sold by Defendant, are misbranded and falsely advertised because the Products contain less grams of protein than is claimed on the Products' labels. The Products all state on the front label that they contain 30 grams of protein per shake and repeat the same claim regarding protein content in the Nutrition Facts panel on the back label. The Plaintiff reviewed the front label and Nutrition Facts panel on the Products prior to his purchases, and reviewed the statements regarding protein being made in those places. Consumers such as Plaintiff who viewed the Products' labels reasonably understood the Products to contain 30 grams of protein. These representations were false. Consumers including Plaintiff reasonably relied on these label statements such that they would not have purchased the Products from Defendant if the truth about the Products was known, or would have only been willing to pay a substantially reduced price for the Products had they known that Defendant's representations were false and misleading. In the alternative, because of its deceptive and false labeling statements, Defendant was enabled to charge a premium for the Products relative to key competitors' products, or relative to the average price charged in the marketplace, says the complaint. The Plaintiff purchased the chocolate flavor on or about January 8, 2026 from a Vitamin Shoppe store in Thousand Oaks, California.

The complaint relates that the Plaintiffs have regularly worked over 40 hours per week during their employment by Defendants. The Defendants, however, did not compensate Plaintiffs with overtime pay for the hours in excess of 40 that they worked in these weeks.

SPROUTS FARMERS MARKET, INC. (d/b/a Sprouts Farmers Market and d/b/a Sprouts); SF MARKETS, LLC (d/b/a Sprouts Farmers Market, d/b/a Sprouts, and d/b/a SFM, LLC); and DOES 1 through 100, inclusive, Defendants Case No.: 22STCV26572 [Consolidated with Case No. 23STCV08339] Hon. William F. Highberger NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND SETTLEMENT What is this About? Two class actions lawsuits are pending against Sprouts. One lawsuit is titled Larry Tran v. Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. et al., Case No. 22STCV26572, and the other lawsuit is titled Robert Cohen v. Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc., et al., Case No. 23STCV08339. Both lawsuits were consolidated effective May 2, 2023, and they are both pending in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. The lawsuits allege that Sprouts violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act or FACTA, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681c(g), by printing on customer receipts more than the last five digits of the customer's credit card or debit card number, which for purposes of this settlement includes EBT cards. Sprouts disputes the class action allegations and denies that it violated FACTA. Sprouts challenged the operative complaints in both of the lawsuits and the Court granted Sprouts' request to dismiss both of the operative complaints. Plaintiffs Larry Tran and Robert Cohen each appealed the Court's dismissal of the operative complaints. The parties agreed upon a proposed Settlement of the class action lawsuits to avoid the uncertainty and cost of further legal proceedings, including the appeals, and to provide benefits to Class members. The Court of Appeal remanded the lawsuits to the Trial Court for settlement approval proceedings. Sprouts does not admit any violation of FACTA by agreeing to the proposed Settlement. Am I a Class Member? You are a member of the Class if you used your personal credit card or debit card at any Sprouts grocery store within the United States at any time during the period (1) from August 16, 2020 through October 31, 2022 for debit and credit cards excluding EBT cards or (2) March 15, 2021 through April 15, 2023 for EBT cards, and you were provided an electronically printed receipt at the point of the sale or transaction, on which receipt was printed more than the last five digits of your credit card or debit card number. What are The Settlement Benefits and What Can I Get From the Settlement? Sprouts will establish a non-reversionary cash fund in the amount of $5,000,000 (the "Cash Fund"). If the Court approves the proposed Settlement, Sprouts shall also implement a written company policy which states that it will not print more than the last 5 digits of the credit or debit card number or the credit or debit card expiration date upon any printed receipt provided to any customer who uses a credit or debit card to transact business with Sprouts. If I Submit a Valid and Timely Claim, What Will Be The Amount of My Payment? Sprouts will establish a non-reversionary cash fund in the amount of $5,000,000 (the "Cash Fund"). After subtracting from the Cash Fund (1) Class Counsel's attorneys' fees ($1,666,666.67) and costs (not to exceed $75,000), (2) an enhancement payment to the Class Representatives (total of $20,000.00), and (3) Administration Costs (not to exceed $661,000 but may decrease depending on the number of claims submitted by Settlement Class members), the remaining amount (the "Net Cash Fund") will be divided by the total number of Settlement Class members who submit a valid and timely claim to determine each claiming Settlement Class member's pro-rata share (the "Pro-Rata Share"). Each Settlement Class member who submits a valid and timely claim will be mailed a check in the amount of the Pro-Rata Share (less any applicable backup withholding), to be paid from the Net Cash Fund. For purposes of determining the Pro-Rata Share, each Eligible Settlement Class Member will be counted once, and may not receive more than the ProRata Share, regardless of whether they made one or more than one transaction during the Settlement Class Period. Each Eligible Settlement Class Member will be mailed a check in the amount of the ProRata Share, to be paid from the Net Cash Fund. All settlement checks will have an expiration date stated on them that will be calculated as 180 days from the date the check is issued. If any residual funds from the Net Cash Fund remain after claims payments are made to the Settlement Class members, any and all such residual funds will not revert to Sprouts and, instead, will be distributed as follows: To the extent postage and other costs render it economically feasible, then (1) the total amount of any settlement checks not cashed after 180 days shall be sent out in a second distribution to those Settlement Class members who have cashed checks in the first round of payments; and (2) any settlement checks that remain uncashed after the second round of distribution shall be distributed cy pres to the following 501(c)(3) charity: Electronic Frontier Foundation. How Can I Get Payment? Did you receive written notice with a Notice Number that begins with the letter P?: If you have already received written notice by e-mail which contains a Notice Number that begins with the letter P, this means that the records show that you used a credit card or debit card for one or more transactions at a Sprouts grocery store within the United States during the period between August 16, 2020 and April 15, 2023. Therefore, if you received written notice by e-mail which contains a Notice Number that begins with the letter P, in order to obtain a payment, you must submit a Short-Form Claim Form attesting that at least one transaction shown in the records was made with your personal credit card or debit card. Once you timely submit your Short-Form Claim Form and it is approved you will become an Eligible Settlement Class Member. If you are mailing the Short-Form Claim Form, your completed form must be mailed to the following address postmarked no later than August 5, 2026: Atticus Administration LLC P.O.

You may also submit your Short-Form Claim Form by completing and submitting an electronic version of the Short-Form Claim Form on the internet at www.SettleInfo.com, by no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on August 5, 2026. If you have NOT received written notice by e-mail with a Notice Number, then you must submit a Claim Form-R in order to obtain payment: If you have NOT received written notice by e-mail with a Notice Number, then, to become an Eligible Settlement Class Member and obtain a payment, you must complete and return a valid Claim Form. R. The Claim Form-R requires you to provide proof in either one of the following two ways: Option (1): You may attach an original or a copy of your customer receipt that (a) contains more than the last five digits of your credit card or debit card number and shows that you made a transaction at any Sprouts grocery store within the United States during the period from August 16, 2020 through October 31, 2022 or (b) contains more than the last five digits of your EBT card number and shows that you made a transaction at any Sprouts grocery store within the United States during the period from March 15, 2021 through April 15, 2023. You must also state that you used your own personal card for the transaction. Once you timely submit your Claim Form-R and it is approved you will become an Eligible Settlement Class Member. OR Option (2): You may attach (a) an original or a copy of your credit card or debit card (excluding EBT card) statement which shows that you made a transaction at any Sprouts grocery store within the United States during the period from August 16, 2020 through October 31, 2022 or (b) an original or a copy of your EBT card statement which shows that you made a transaction at any Sprouts grocery store within the United States during the period from March 15, 2021 through April 15, 2023.

You may make only one claim regardless of whether you have made one or more than one eligible credit or debit card transaction. Accordingly, if you had more than one eligible transaction, you only need to provide proof of either one receipt or one statement showing that you made one card transaction using your personal card at any Sprouts grocery store within the United States during any of the relevant time periods described above. Once you timely submit your Claim Form-R and it is approved, you will become an Eligible Settlement Class Member. If you are mailing the Claim Form-R, your completed form (together with the required documentation) must be mailed to the following address postmarked no later than August 5, 2026: Atticus Administration LLC P.O.

Yes. If you don't want to receive benefits from this Settlement, but you want to keep the right to sue Sprouts or any of the other persons or entities referenced in the "Release by the Settlement Class" paragraph above, about the issues in the lawsuits, then you must take steps to exclude yourself from the Settlement. To exclude yourself from the Settlement you must include your name, address, telephone number, and your signature on correspondence requesting that you be excluded as a Class member from Tran, et al. v. Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc., et al., Case No. 22STCV26572. To be effective, you must mail your request for exclusion, postmarked no later than April 7, 2026, to the Settlement Administrator at the following address: Atticus Administration LLC P.O. BOX 64053 St. Paul, MN 55164 If you request to be excluded from the Settlement, then: (a) you will not be a part of the Settlement; (b) you will have no right to receive any benefits under the Settlement; (c) you will not be bound by the terms of the Settlement; and (d) you will not have any right to object to the terms of the Settlement or be heard at the fairness (final approval) hearing. What if I Don't Like the Settlement? If you are a Class member and you do not like any part of the Settlement, you can object to the terms of the Settlement, including, but not limited to, an award to Class Counsel of attorneys' fees which Class Counsel will seek in the amount of $1,666,666.67 and which will be paid from the Cash Fund, an award to Class Counsel of Class Counsel's litigation costs of up to $75,000 also to be paid from the Cash Fund, and an incentive payment to the Class Representatives Larry Tran and Robert Cohen with each receiving an incentive payment of $10,000, to be paid from the Cash Fund. You must give reasons why you think the Court should not approve the Settlement or any of its terms. The Court will consider your views.

The fees and costs would pay Class Counsel for investigating the facts and law, prosecuting the matter as well as appeals, negotiating the Settlement, causing Sprouts to change its receipt printing processes and implement a new written policy concerning FACTA, and implementing the Settlement. Class Counsel will also ask the Court to approve payment of $10,000 each, to be paid from the Cash Fund, to Larry Tran and Robert Cohen for their services as the Class Representatives.

CLAIR COUNTY, MI: Lindke Suit Seeks to Certify Class -------------------------------------------------------- In the class action lawsuit captioned as KEVIN LINDKE; MICHAEL SCHULTZ; DURRAND ASHFORD; CARRIE SIMONS; JUSTIN CARDELLA; and all those similarly situated, v. MAT KING, in his official and personal capacities; TIMOTHY DONNELLON, in his official and personal capacity; COUNTY OF ST. CLAIR; TRACY DECAUSSIN, in her official and personal capacity; and THOMAS BLISS, in his official and personal capacity, Case No. 2:22-cv-11767-MFL-JJCG (E.D. Mich.), the Plaintiffs ask the Court to enter an order certifying a class, and appointing Durrand Ashford as class representative, and the undersigned counsel as appointed class counsel under Rule 23(a)(4) and (g). Although class discovery remains ongoing, the record before the Court is sufficient to resolve class certification. Targeted discovery necessary to identify class members has been completed. There has been the elimination of all individualized defenses. There is a class defined with precision. Any remaining discovery will not alter the Rule 23 analysis but will instead go to the merits or damages. Accordingly, certification at this stage is not only appropriate, but consistent with Rule 23's directive that the Court decide certification at an early practicable time without demanding a decision or proof of success on the merits. This class lawsuit seeking damages related to the denial of liberty and freedom of individuals, by unlawful over-detainment, when Defendants failed to respect "good time" credits of those serving sentences of criminal contempt – including things like missing court dates or failing to timely pay court costs – within the St. Clair County Jail. The following class definition is proposed: "just the individuals listed in Exhibit A, who were confined to the St Clair County jail for contempt for a period in excess of what is permitted by Michigan law due the failure to respect "good time" credit pursuant to M.C.L. section 51.282(1) from April 22, 20197 to Jan. 10, 2022 and was sentenced either by State Court Judge John Tomlinson or by another St. Clair County judge via a judgment of sentence did not contain a statement of 'no good time.'" St. Clair is a county located in the U.S. state of Michigan and bordering the west bank of the St. Clair River.

Starbucks Corporation, Case No. 8:20-cv-01311-CEH-TGW (M.D. Fla.), the Parties ask the Court to enter an order granting an extension of time for each party to file their respective responses to the pending motions for preliminary approval of the class settlement. The Defendant needs additional time to gather information it believes is important regarding the dispute on class size. Thus, the Defendant needs additional time to respond to the Plaintiff's motion for preliminary approval up until and including April 30, 2026. The Plaintiff also would like an extension of time for its response to the Defendant's pending motion for preliminary approval until after the Defendant's response and following the Defendant's disclosure of additional information relating to class size. As such the Plaintiff is seeking until May 7, 2026, to respond to the Defendant's motion for preliminary approval. The extended time potentially may enable the Parties to potentially file a joint motion for preliminary approval of the class action settlement, which was the Parties' intention when the Court was notified that the Parties had reached an agreement. If the Parties are able to reach an agreement on the remaining issues, they will file a joint motion for preliminary approval of the class action settlement within the requested extension dates.

STERLING SEACREST PRITCHARD, INC., Case No. 1:26-cv-01752-TWT (N.D. Ga., April 1, 2026), is brought against Defendant for its failure to properly secure and safeguard Plaintiff's and Class Members' sensitive and personally identifying information ("PII" or "Private Information"), which, as a result, was targeted, accessed, and stolen from Defendant's care in a foreseeable, preventable, data breach (the "Data Breach"). The Plaintiff and Class Members entrusted Defendant with their sensitive, non-public Private Information. Defendant could not perform its regular business operations without collecting Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information. Companies like Defendant that collect, use, and benefit from individuals' Private Information owe the individuals to whom that data relates a duty to adopt reasonable measures to protect such information from disclosure to unauthorized third parties, and to keep it safe and confidential. The Defendant maintained the Private Information in a reckless manner. In particular, Private Information was maintained on and/or accessible from Defendant's network in a condition vulnerable to cyberattacks. The mechanism of the cyberattack and potential for improper disclosure of Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information was a known risk to Defendant, and thus, Defendant knew that failing to take reasonable steps to secure the Private Information left it in a dangerous condition. To recover from Defendant for these harms, Plaintiff, on behalf of himself and the Class as defined herein, brings claims for negligence/negligence per se, breach of implied contract, and unjust enrichment to address Defendant's inadequate safeguarding of Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information in its custody and Defendant's failure to provide timely or adequate notice to Plaintiff and Class Members that their information was compromised in the Data Breach, says the complaint. The Plaintiff entrusted his Private Information to Defendant. The Defendant is a provider of insurance, risk management, and employee benefit services across the United States.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Casondra Turner, Esq.

SUN ENERGY SERVICES LLC, Case No. 2:23-cv-02155 (W.D. Pa., Filed Dec. 28, 2023), the Hon. Judge Christy Criswell Wiegand entered an order granting in part Plaintiff's motion for class certification and for final certification of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) collective. Accordingly, the Court ordered the parties to meet and confer and file a status report regarding their proposed next steps in this case. On April 16, 2020, the parties filed a joint status report advising the Court that they are still finalizing proposed class notice, that they are still determining whether additional discovery is needed, and that they are still finalizing a proposed briefing schedule for summary judgment motions. The parties request additional time to align on these topics. Additionally, the joint status report avers that Defendants are considering filing a motion to consolidate this case with another case that was recently filed in this Court, "Blitz v. Sun Energy Services, LLC, Case No. 2:26-cv-437." The Defendants request a telephonic status conference "sometime in the next 2-3 weeks" to discuss possible consolidation of this case with Blitz. Accordingly, with respect to the issue of class notice, the parties shall, on or before May 5, 2026, file either an agreed-upon proposed class notice with a motion for this Court to approve such notice, or if the parties cannot agree, by that same date each party must file its proposed notice with a supporting statement of objections to any disputed language of the other party's notice.

Ariz.), the Defendants ask the Court to enter an order extending the date to file a response to the Plaintiff's motion for conditional certification. The Defendant requests an extension of 30 days because as of today's date, the Defendant is no longer represented by counsel and is now proceeding pro se. Good cause exists for the requested extension because the Defendant requires additional time to familiarize himself with applicable law and procedural rules, he needs adequate time to review the Plaintiff's motion and prepare a substantive response without the assistance of counsel.

Ct., Los Angeles Cty., Cal., April 14, 2026) is a class action against the Defendants for alleged violations of the California Labor Code. The complaint relates that the Plaintiff and other aggrieved employees were responsible for a wide range of tasks critical to Defendants' operations, such as installation and maintenance, providing customer service, medical care, and overall workforce solutions. Their work ensured the effective operation of Defendants' assets. Despite the essential nature of their contributions, Plaintiff and other aggrieved employees allege that Defendants failed pay all overtime compensation and sick pay wages due to its failure to correctly calculate the "regular rate of pay." Moreover, Plaintiff alleges that Defendants' meal and rest period policies and practices failed to allow and permit aggrieved employees to take all compliant and timely meal and rest periods or pay premium wages at the "regular rate of pay" in lieu thereof. Plaintiff further alleges that Defendants failed to provide aggrieved employees with accurate written itemized wage statements, failed to reimburse all necessary business expenses incurred, and failed to timely pay all final wages upon separation of employment in violation of the California Labor Code. The Plaintiff seeks all civil and statutory penalties available and applicable under the California Labor and for attorneys' fees and costs.

TARGET CORPORATION, Case No. 3:26-cv-02534-H-BLM (S.D. Cal., April 21, 2026), is brought alleging violations of the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act ("CLRA"), Unfair Competition Law ("UCL"), and False Advertising Law ("FAL"), as a result of the Defendants' deceptively labeled and misrepresented their Product Up&Up Ashwagandha Gummies 300 mg. The Defendant deceptively labels the Product by misrepresenting the dosage amount of each gummy. Specifically, the Product's front label prominently advertises a certain dosage amount, for example, "300 mg ashwagandha." The front label also advertises the number of gummies in the Product as 60 gummies. Reasonable consumers are therefore led to believe that each coated gummy contains the advertised dosage amount: 300 mg of ashwagandha in each gummy. The truth, however, is that each gummy does not contain the advertised dosage amount. Instead, consumers must ingest two gummies to achieve the advertised dosage. As a result, consumers grossly overpay for the Product, receiving only half of the advertised value while paying the full purchase price. The Plaintiffs read and relied upon Defendant's advertising when purchasing the Product and were damaged as a result, says the complaint. The Plaintiff purchased the Product from a Target store in Encinitas, California in March 2025. The Defendant makes, distributes, sells, and markets Up&Up Ashwagandha Gummies 300 mg.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Lilach H. Klein, Esq. Zachary M. Crosner, Esq.

TD BANK, N.A. AND AIRLINES REPORTING CORPORATION, Case No. 1:26-cv-00460-UNA (D. Del., April 21, 2026), is brought against Defendants for their violations of federal and state laws as a result of an unprecedented betrayal of TD Bank, N.A. and Airlines Reporting Corporation in connection with the sale of personal and financial data entrusted to them when processing payment for consumer travel to federal government agencies without notice to consumers. The Defendants have years operated a secret pipeline for that delivers, for profit, detailed personal and financial information--including over three years' worth of passengers' full names, addresses, complete credit-card numbers, travel itineraries, and payment amounts--directly to multiple federal agencies. The sale of data occurs in bulk, without warrants, without subpoenas, without notice to the individual, and without the individual's knowledge or consent. The mechanism is ARC's Travel Intelligence Program ("TIP"), a commercial data product that gives agencies ranging from ICE and CBP to the IRS, Secret Service, ATF, and DOD "unrestricted access" to search more than one billion travel records by name or credit-card number alone. In short, when Americans purchase an airline ticket and that transaction is processed through TD Bank and ARC, Defendants treat that transaction as an open invitation to monetize the data by selling access to the COMPASS ARC database to governmental entities. To give context as to scope, TD Bank and ARC work together to process transactions for 241 airlines and 10,047 travel agencies, including online platforms like Expedia. Without Plaintiffs' knowledge or consent, Plaintiffs' full credit-card number, name, itinerary, and transaction details were ingested into ARC's databases and made available for unrestricted government searching through the TIP. No notice was ever sent to Plaintiffs. No opportunity to challenge the disclosure was ever afforded. No certification of RFPA compliance was ever obtained. Plaintiffs were not even made aware that Defendants would have access to their personal and financial information. Plaintiffs' statutory right to financial privacy--a right Congress deemed fundamental--was simply erased for the convenience and profit of a bank and an airline-owned data broker that was using TD Bank's charter, says the complaint. The Plaintiffs purchased airline tickets through a travel agency whose payments flowed through ARC's TD Bank-powered settlement system. TD Bank, N.A. is one of the ten largest banks in the United States.[BN] The Plaintiffs are represented by: Mark D. Richardson, Esq.

TODD LYONS, et al., Case No. 3:26-cv-02174-BAS-JLB (S.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Bashant entered an order granting petition for writ of habeas corpus. Petitioner Pamatz filed a habeas petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 2241, requesting a bond hearing. The Government responded to the Petition, indicating that Respondents "do not oppose an order from this Court directing a bond hearing be held pursuant to 8 U.S.C. section 1226(a)." For the reasons stated below, the Court grants the Petition and orders that Petitioner be given a bond hearing within 14 days. Accordingly, the Court issues the following writ: The Court ORDERS a bond hearing before an Immigration Judge for Florencio Pamatz Pamatz within 14 days of the date of this Order. The bond hearing shall be governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1226(a), not § 1225(b)(2). If no bond hearing is held within 14 days, Petitioner is ordered released forthwith. The Clerk of the Court shall close the case. IT IS SO ORDERED. Regardless, this Court has previously held in multiple cases that it agrees with the Court in Maldonado Bautista that an individual in Petitioner's situation is not subject to mandatory detention under Section 1225. Petitioner entered the United States without inspection or apprehension in 2005 and has lived continuously in the United States since then. He has no criminal record. He was arrested in the interior of the United States.

TruStile Doors, LLC, Case No. 0:26-cv-02320-JMB-LIB (D. Minn., April 22, 2026), is brought arising because the Defendant's Website (www.trustile.com) is not fully and equally accessible to people who are blind or who have low vision in violation of both the general non-discriminatory mandate and the effective communication and auxiliary aids and services requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA") and the Minnesota Human Rights Act ("MHRA"). The Defendant owns, operates, and/or controls its Website and is responsible for the policies, practices, and procedures concerning the Website's development and maintenance. As a consequence of the Plaintiffs experience visiting Defendant's Website, including in the past year, and from an investigation performed on their behalf, the Plaintiffs found Defendant's Website has a number of digital barriers that deny screen-reader users like the Plaintiffs full and equal access to important Website content--content the Defendant makes available to its sighted Website users. Still, the Plaintiffs would like to, intend to, and will attempt to access the Defendant's Website in the future to browse, research, or shop online and purchase the products and services that the Defendant offers. The Defendant's policies regarding the maintenance and operation of its Website fail to ensure its Website is fully accessible to, and independently usable by, individuals with vision-related disabilities. The Plaintiffs and the putative class have been, and in the absence of injunctive relief will continue to be, injured, and discriminated against by the Defendant's failure to provide its online Website content and services in a manner that is compatible with screen reader technology, says the complaint. The Plaintiffs are and have been legally blind and are therefore disabled. The Defendant offers interior doors for sale including, but not limited to, natural wood doors, MDF doors, panel doors, glass doors, modern doors, and more.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Chad A.

TURNPIKE FOOD CORP., Case No. 2:26-cv-02349 (E.D.N.Y., April 20, 2026), is brought pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") and the New York Labor Law ("NYLL"), that he and similarly situated individuals are entitled to recover from Defendants unpaid minimum wage, overtime wages, spread of hours pay, liquidated damages, statutory damages, and attorneys' fees and costs. Throughout his employment, Plaintiff typically worked 52 hours per week. The Defendant automatically deducted a thirty-minute meal break from Plaintiff's work time. However, Plaintiff was never allotted a full meal break. The Defendant automatically deducted a meal break from The FLSA Collective Plaintiffs and the Class members' work time. The FLSA Collective Plaintiffs and the Class members had their meal breaks interrupted or were not taken at all. FLSA Collective Plaintiffs and the Class similarly worked weeks of 40 hours or more. The Plaintiff and Class members were not paid all of their wages or their overtime premiums at the rate of time and one half of the regular hourly rate, for all hours worked. The Defendants knowingly and willingly operated their business with a policy of not paying the New York State minimum wage, and the proper overtime rate thereof for all hours worked to Plaintiff, and Class members, in violation of the FLSA and the NYLL, says the complaint.

UMASS MEMORIAL HEALTH CARE, INC.; JOHN and JANE DOES 1-30 IN THEIR CAPACITIES AS FIDUCIARIES; Defendants, Case No. 4:26-cv-40109 (D. Mass., April 15, 2026) seeks to remedy Defendants' breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of the Employee Retirement Income and Security Act. As fiduciaries of the UMass Memorial Health Care 401(k) Plan and the UMass Memorial Health Care 403(b) Plan, at all times relevant to this complaint, the Defendants were obligated to act (1) prudently; and (2) for the exclusive benefit of participants and beneficiaries. However, the Defendants violated their fiduciary duties by both (1) initially selecting; and (2) consistently retaining higher cost investment options which materially reduced Plans' participants' retirement funds as compared to readily available alternatives, asserts the complaint. As a result of these breaches in fiduciary duty, the Plaintiffs and the proposed class lost millions of dollars in assets under the Plans. To remedy Defendants' fiduciary breaches, the Plaintiffs bring this action individually and on behalf of the Plans to obtain the relief provided under ERISA, for losses suffered by the Plans, from six years prior to the filing of this complaint to the date of judgment and for other appropriate equitable and injunctive relief under ERISA. UMass Memorial Health Care, Inc. provides health care services.[BN] The Plaintiffs are represented by: Casondra Turner, Esq.

Topo Designs, LLC, Case No. 0:26-cv-02301 (D. Minn., April 24, 2026), is brought arising because Defendant's Website (www.topodesigns.com) (the "Website" or "Defendant's Website") is not fully and equally accessible to people who are blind or who have low vision in violation of both the general non-discriminatory mandate and the effective communication and auxiliary aids and services requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA") and its implementing regulations. In addition to her claim under the ADA, Plaintiff also asserts a companion cause of action under the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA). The Defendant owns, operates, and/or controls its Website and is responsible for the policies, practices, and procedures concerning the Website's development and maintenance. As a consequence of her experience visiting Defendant's Website, including in the past year, and from an investigation performed on her behalf, the Plaintiff found Defendant's Website has a number of digital barriers that deny screen-reader users like Plaintiff full and equal access to important Website content--content Defendant makes available to its sighted Website users. Still, the Plaintiff would like to, intends to, and will attempt to access Defendant's Website in the future to browse, research, or shop online and purchase the products and services that Defendant offers. The Defendant's policies regarding the maintenance and operation of its Website fail to ensure its Website is fully accessible to, and independently usable by, individuals with vision-related disabilities. The Plaintiff and the putative class have been, and in the absence of injunctive relief will continue to be, injured, and discriminated against by Defendant's failure to provide its online Website content and services in a manner that is compatible with screen reader technology, says the complaint. The Plaintiff is and has been legally blind and is therefore disabled under the ADA. The Defendant offers travel bags and clothing for sale including, but not limited to, backpacks, briefcases, roller bags, crossbody bags, totes, duffel bags, hip packs, tops, bottoms, sweatshirts, hoodies, outerwear, accessories, and more.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Patrick W.

UPONOR, INC.; UPONOR NORTH AMERICA, INC.; UPONOR CORPORATION; and DOES 1 through 100, inclusive, whose true names are unknown, Case No. 3:23-cv-00497 (M.D. Tenn.), the Plaintiffs ask the Court to enter an order granting their motion to extend deadlines regarding completion of class certification discovery and other related deadlines. The case has not substantially progressed since discovery began soon after the Initial Case Management Order was entered on May 19, 2025. This case is still in the early phase of discovery, thereby necessitating additional time for class certification discovery. Given the motions that are pending, the Plaintiffs request that the Court use the following procedures for any needed resetting of the referenced deadlines: 1. If the Plaintiffs' motion to transfer is granted, the need for the resetting of these deadlines is pretermitted by the transfer of the case to the District of Minnesota and the issue of the deadlines being reset would be presented to that court. 2. If the Plaintiffs' motion to transfer is denied, the Court should reset the referenced deadlines to a date at least 60 days after the Court's ruling on the Motion for Contempt Sanctions. Uponor provides plumbing, indoor climate, and infrastructure systems.

WAGNER SPRAY TECH CORPORATION, Case No. 1:26-cv-03654 (N.D. Ill., April 1, 2026), is brought against Defendant for violations of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Businesses Practices Act ("ILCFA"), breach of express and implied warranties, and unjust enrichment as a result of the Defendant's defective and unreasonably dangerous line of Wagner 900 Series Steam Cleaners. Wagner designs, manufacturers, markets, and sells a line of Wagner 900 Series Steam Cleaners that are defective and unreasonably dangerous, posing a serious burn hazard to consumers. The Products contain a defect that causes the hose to overheat and the nozzle or spray gun to unpredictably expel dangerously hot water during and after use. This defect manifests during ordinary, intended use of the Products and can cause hot water to discharge without warning, including after the trigger is engaged, creating a significant risk of burns. Despite knowledge of this defect, including numerous incident reports and consumer injuries, Wagner continued to manufacture, market, and sell the Products for years without disclosing the safety risk to consumers. Wagner has now issued a recall only after widespread consumer complaints and injuries and in coordination with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission ("CPSC"). However, the recall is inadequate. Rather than offering refunds or replacements, Wagner provides only a burdensome and ineffective "repair kit" that requires consumers to wait weeks for delivery and install protective components themselves. The recall does not correct the underlying defect, does not compensate consumers, and leaves defective products in consumers' possession and in the marketplace. As a result, consumers are left with products that are unsafe, unusable, and worth substantially less than represented, says the complaint. The Plaintiff purchased a Wagner Model 905e Auto Steamer from an online retailer. Wagner holds itself out as a leading manufacturer of innovative, high-quality tools and a trusted name among homeowners and professionals, emphasizing its decades of experience in the industry.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Adam C.

The Company states, "Like many other industrial companies, we and our subsidiaries are defendants in various lawsuits related to alleged exposure by workers and others to asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) or other hazardous materials. Liabilities for environmental remediation and worker exposure claims exclude possible insurance recoveries. It is reasonably possible that our exposure will exceed amounts accrued due to uncertainties about the status of laws, regulations, technology and information related to individual sites and worker exposure lawsuits."

The Company states, "The amount accrued for pending and future claims was $309 million as of March 31, 2026, which represented our best estimate of the liability within our calculated range of $249 million to $385 million, discounted using a discount rate of 4.30%. The amount accrued for pending and future claims was $317 million as of December 31, 2025, which represented our best estimate of the liability within our calculated range of $258 million to $397 million, discounted using a discount rate of 4.18%. Our undiscounted product liability was $390 million and $398 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. There have been no significant developments to the information presented in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to litigation or commitments and contingencies."

"In talc cases that have gone to trial, the Company has obtained a number of defense verdicts, but there also have been verdicts against the Company, many of which have been reversed on appeal. The Company continues to believe that it has strong legal grounds to contest all the talc verdicts that it has appealed. Notwithstanding the Company’s confidence in the safety of its talc products, in certain circumstances the Company has settled cases. "In an effort to expeditiously resolve the litigation for the overwhelming majority of claimants, beginning in October 2021, the Company underwent a series of corporate restructurings which ultimately resulted in two entities, Red River Talc, LLC (Red River) and Pecos River Talc LLC (Pecos River), being assigned all liabilities related in any way to injury or damage, or alleged injury or damage, sustained or incurred in the purchase or use of, or exposure to, talc, including talc contained in any product, or to the risk of, or responsibility for, any such damage or injury, except for any liabilities for which the exclusive remedy is provided under a workers’ compensation statute or act. As a result of the restructurings, all claims in North America related to ovarian and other gynecological cancers were separated and allocated to Red River, and mesothelioma, governmental unit and certain other claims in North America were allocated to Pecos River. In connection with these restructurings, the Company filed a series of three Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. Ultimately, each of the bankruptcy proceedings was dismissed and, as a result, the Company reversed substantially all, or approximately $7.0 billion, from amounts previously reserved for the bankruptcy resolution in the fiscal first quarter of 2025. Litigation in the tort system recommenced. As of the first quarter of 2026, the total present value of the reserve for talc related matters is approximately $3.4 billion, comprising previously executed settlement agreements, litigation defense and other costs. Approximately one-third of the reserve is recorded as a current liability."

The Company states, "The vast majority of the claims are submitted to insurance carriers for defense and indemnity, or to non-affiliated companies that retain the liabilities for the asbestos-containing products at issue. We cannot, however, assure that all of these claims will be fully covered by insurance, or that the indemnitors or insurers will remain financially viable. Our ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these claims, as is the case with other pending litigation, cannot be estimated. A limited number of claims are not covered by insurance, nor are they subject to indemnity from non-affiliated parties. Management believes that the costs of the Company's asbestos-related cases will not be material to the Company’s overall financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
