1UP REPAIRS: Hannan Suit Seeks to Recover OT Wages Under FLSA
-------------------------------------------------------------
TAYLOR HANNAN, individually and for others similarly situated, v.
1UP REPAIRS, LLC and JOHN CREASY, Case No. 1:26-cv-01462 (W.D.
Tex., June 1, 2026) seeks to recover overtime wages and other
damages from the Defendants under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The Plaintiff and other workers like him regularly worked for in
excess of 40 hours But these workers never received overtime as
required by the FLSA. Instead, the Defendants improperly classified
Plaintiff and those similarly situated workers as exempt employees
and paid them a salary with no overtime compensation, the suit
alleges.
Plaintiff Hannan was a salaried employee. She worked for the
Defendants as a Salaried Technician from approximately August 2024
until February 2026. She brings this action on behalf of himself
and all similarly situated Salaried Technicians who were classified
exempt and paid a salary with no overtime compensation.

A.T. STILL UNIVERSITY: Immigrant Students' Suit Deal Gets Final OK
------------------------------------------------------------------
MALDEF.org reports that a state judge has granted final approval of
a class-action settlement between A.T. Still University (ATSU) and
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients and other
immigrant students who were denied enrollment at ATSU's California
campus because of their immigration status.
MALDEF (Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund) filed
the lawsuit on behalf of Carlos Alberto Alonso, 29, of San
Francisco, a healthcare worker and recipient of DACA, and other
prospective students who comprise the settlement class.
"Advanced education is a path to the American Dream," said Thomas
A. Saenz, MALDEF president and general counsel. "It should not be
denied to immigrants who are prepared to contribute to public
health and whose presence in the United States is supported by
bipartisan super-majorities."
As part of the agreement approved on May 21, 2026, ATSU has agreed
to create a settlement fund of $92,800 to compensate the class of
prospective students affected by the challenged policy. ATSU will
also change its policy of denying admission to educational programs
based solely on immigration status, eliminating the harm alleged in
the complaint for all future applicants.
In addition to payments for each of the 29 class members, the
settlement will provide cy pres funds to immigrant-serving
non-profit groups. The university will also pay attorney's fees and
other costs.
"We are glad that the court recognized the importance of this case
and granted final approval," said Luis Lozada, MALDEF staff
attorney. "This case represents a small step forward for DACA
recipients and non-permanent immigrants to be considered on the
same grounds as U.S. citizens when applying for a higher education
program, regardless of their immigration status."
Alonso, a disease control investigator at major San Francisco
hospitals, considered applying to ATSU's Central Coast Physician
Assistant (CCPA) program in November 2023. According to the
lawsuit, the program's application stated that only U.S. citizens
or lawful permanent residents could apply. After asking about his
eligibility, Alonso was informed that DACA recipients would be
rejected because of their "non-permanent" status. Despite his
educational and professional experience, Alonso was denied the
ability to enroll solely because of his immigration status.
The suit challenged ATSU's policy as a violation of California's
Unruh Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on
citizenship and immigration status, among other characteristics.
The lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California, County
of Santa Barbara.
ATSU is based in Kirkville, Missouri, and has campuses in Arizona
and California. It was the world's first osteopathic medical school
and has an average annual enrollment of more than 3,900 students
from around the world.
Since 2017, MALDEF has filed more than 20 lawsuits challenging
discriminatory enrollment policies and other consumer practices
that block immigrants from accessing higher education, financial
institutions, and other businesses. [GN]
ADT INC: Fails to Prevent Data Breach, Moore Alleges
----------------------------------------------------
CARYLON MOORE, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. ADT INC., Defendant, Case No.
9:26-cv-80611-XXXX (S.D. Fla., May 22, 2026) is an action against
the Defendant for its failure to properly secure and safeguard
sensitive information of the Plaintiff and the Class.
According to the Plaintiff in the complaint, on April 20, 2026, a
group of cybercriminals (using the online moniker 'ShinyHunters')
infiltrated Defendant's computer systems, accessed and exfiltrated
file repositories that contained Plaintiff's and Class Members'
Sensitive Private Information (the "Data Breach").
By collecting and maintaining Plaintiff and the Class Members'
Sensitive Private Information, Defendant was required by law to
exercise reasonable care and comply with industry and statutory
requirements to protect that information. Indeed, the Defendant
acknowledges that its "customers don't want their data in the wrong
hands, which is why ADT has specific in-house regulations to
protect customer data privacy and safety." Despite this known risk,
the Defendant failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity
safeguards appropriate to the nature and scope of the data it
collected and retained, says the suit.
ADT Inc. provides commercial security systems and services. The
Company offers home and business automation solutions which
includes temperature, burglary, flood, fire and smoke, and medical
alert monitoring, as well as security cameras, remote access, and
wireless home security systems. [BN]

AGI GROUND: Almeida Sues Over Mass Layoff Without Prior Notice

RONY ALMEIDA, individually and on behalf of all others similarly

1:26-cv-23532-JB (S.D. Fla., May 19, 2026) seeks to recover from
the Defendant up to 60 days wages and benefits, pursuant to the
Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act.
According to the complaint, the Defendant failed to provide 60
days' notice prior to terminating 500 or more employees without
cause in a mass layoff, or before terminating 50 or more employees
in a plant closing. The Plaintiff and the Class that were
terminated constituted mass layoffs and a plant closing without the
60 days' notice in direct violation of the Warn Act, says the
suit.

AMAZON.COM INC: Merewhuader Fraud Suit Removed to C.D. Calif.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The case BILL MEREWHUADER, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, v. AMAZON.COM, INC. et al., Case No.
26STCV10457, was removed from the Superior Court of the State of
California for the County of Los Angeles to the United States
District Court for the Central District of California on May 13,
2026.
The Clerk of Court for the Central District of California assigned
Case No. 2:26-cv-05164-PA-DSR to the proceeding.
The Plaintiff brings this putative class action against Amazon
arising from its unfair and deceptive scheme of designing,
manufacturing, distributing, advertising, marketing, and selling
its first- and second-generation Fire TV Stick streaming device as
an "instant" media streaming stick with no "buffering" so that
shows "start instantly," and then later "bricking" its first- and
second-generation Fire TV Stick devices rendering them nearly
inoperable.

AMAZON.COM INC: Refuses to Seek Tariff Refunds, Class Suit Claims
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Olivia DeRicco of ClassAction.org reports that a proposed class
action lawsuit alleges that Amazon has refused to seek a tariff
refund from the federal government because it aims to "curry favor"
with President Donald Trump by allowing the administration to
retain the money, to the detriment of consumers who paid inflated
prices for imported goods.
The 21-page lawsuit charges that Amazon's decision to forgo tariff
reimbursement -- to which it is legally entitled in full from the
federal government -- —serves the e-commerce giant's "own
political and commercial interests" at the expense of consumers who
"bore the tariff costs in the first place" by way of higher
prices.
"Amazon has not returned any portion of those costs it passed on to
consumers, and it has no intention of doing so," the complaint
summarizes. "It has, in short, generated and retained a windfall
from unlawful government action, and consumers -- not Amazon -- are
the ones left paying for it."
Shortly after the February 20, 2026 Supreme Court decision in
Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump that ruled that the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariffs overstepped the
bounds of presidential authority, the Court of International Trade
on March 4 ordered Customs and Border Protection to refund IEEPA
tariff fees, saying that "[a]ll importers of record" are "entitled
to the benefit" of the ruling, the case states. Importers of record
take legal responsibility for compliance with import guidelines,
pay tariffs and sign customs declarations when goods enter the
country, per the filing.
Although Amazon is "legally entitled" to hundreds of millions of
dollars in refunds from the federal government, the suit conveys
that the retailer has decided to forego recovery to "ingratiate
itself" with the president, who previously stated that he would
"remember" which companies declined to seek refunds.
The filing contends that Amazon deceived consumers by not
disclosing that it would not seek a refund of unlawful IEEPA
tariffs, even if they were later invalidated. Regardless of
Amazon's apparent political maneuvering, "[t]he problem is that the
funds Amazon is using to stay in the President's good graces do not
belong to Amazon," the case contends.
The lawsuit says that the funds instead belong to consumers, who
shouldered the economic burden of tariff-related price increases.
Tariff-related price increases had an enormous impact on consumers,
the lawsuit says, citing a Wall Street Journal study of 2,500
products that indicated that prices for relatively inexpensive
goods sold on Amazon increased 5.2 percent between January and July
2025, even as competitors like Walmart lowered their prices. Price
increases far outpaced the current inflation rate of two percent
for core goods, the suit conveys.
The Amazon tariff class action lawsuit looks to cover all
individuals who, during the period beginning on February 4, 2025
through February 20, 2026, purchased any good subject to IEEPA
tariffs from Amazon's online stores and paid a surcharge to cover
the IEEPA tariffs. [GN]
AMAZON.COM INC: Sued Over Privacy Violations of Doorbell Cameras
----------------------------------------------------------------
Amanda Silberling, writing for TechCrunch, reports that Amazon was
sued on Monday, June 1, over alleged privacy violations from its
Ring doorbell cameras. The class action lawsuit, filed in Seattle
by Virginia resident Charles Sigwalt, claims that Ring's Familiar
Faces feature stores images of passersby without consent.
Ring announced the Familiar Faces feature last September and faced
pushback from consumer protection organizations like the EFF, as
well as Senator Ed Markey (D-MA). But the company moved forward
with its plans to launch the feature in December.
Familiar Faces lets Ring users identify people who regularly come
to their home through AI facial recognition. That way, if a regular
guest, like a family member, mail carrier, or neighbor, comes to
the door, the device will be able to recognize them and deliver
more specific notifications like "Dad is at the door," rather than
"A person is at the door." Ring users have to opt in to this
feature, but privacy advocates noted that the people who walk past
these Ring doorbells have not consented to these facial-recognition
scans. That same concern is at the center of this class action
lawsuit.
According to the lawsuit, "Millions of other Americans passed by a
Ring security camera and unknowingly had their facial recognition
information collected."
Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment. At the
time the feature was released, the company stated that face data is
encrypted and never shared; unidentified faces are automatically
removed after 30 days.
Amazon's Ring has a record of concerning behaviors regarding user
privacy. In 2023, Amazon settled with the Federal Trade Commission
(FTC) and paid a $5.8 million fine over allegations that the
company's staff and contractors had improperly accessed private
videos from women customers; the FTC's complaint said that every
employee had full access to every customer video, even if the
worker had no need to access that footage. Ring has also maintained
relationships with law enforcement and once granted police the
ability to request Ring footage from users without a warrant.
After airing a Super Bowl ad to introduce Search Party, an
AI-powered feature that uses Ring footage to find lost pets, the
company faced similar backlash. Days later, Ring canceled its plans
to partner with video surveillance company Flock Safety, which has
reportedly given footage to ICE and other federal agencies. When
Ring founder Jamie Siminoff spoke with TechCrunch after Ring
canceled its arrangement with Flock Safety, he indicated that the
deal would've created too much of a "workload." [GN]

closer to rendering a final decision on whether to allow a key
witness to testify in an ongoing ethanol markets lawsuit.
The U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois is
again considering whether an economic model created by an expert
witness works and whether the witness hired by the plaintiff, AOT
Holding AG, should be excluded from testifying.
In recent months, ADM filed its fifth motion to exclude witness
Shaun D. Ledgerwood from presenting his findings using a so-called
regression analysis model he created on behalf of AOT and Maize
Capital Group LLC, a second plaintiff in a related case.
That model, AOT alleges, shows ADM manipulated the ethanol market
at the Argo terminal in Illinois. Ledgerwood is a principal at the
Brattle Group, Inc. and a former economist at the Office of
Enforcement of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
The court issued an order on May 28, 2026, directing the court's
independent expert to further study the validity of the model.
The requests made by the court in the new order suggest a final
decision on Ledgerwood may soon be made.
BOTTOM LINE ASSESSMENT REQUESTED
The court is asking Professor Michael Wooldridge to consider three
specific issues as they relate to the Ledgerwood model, concluding
with a "bottom line" assessment of the model.
Wooldridge, an Ashall Professor of Foundations of Artificial
Intelligence at the University of Oxford, previously testified at
an evidentiary hearing that it was improper to award damages for
trades on days where there is no price suppression.
"Having read the parties' briefs, it has become apparent to the
court that it cannot make an informed decision on ADM's motion
without the direct input of Professor Wooldridge, the court's
appointed neutral expert," the court said in its order.
In its fifth motion filed with the court to exclude the witness,
ADM argues Ledgerwood's model calculates damages even on days when
there was no price suppression.
According to the order, ADM argues the model could be generating
hundreds of millions of dollars in "phantom" damages.
Wooldridge is asked to study whether the model improperly assumes
that ADM alone moved ethanol prices, whether the model reliably
estimates the price of ethanol derivatives and whether it
calculates damages that are attributable to the plaintiffs' theory
of liability in the case.
"As the court stated at the evidentiary hearing, it is by no means
an expert in econometrics," the court said in its order.
"Professor Wooldridge should, to the extent practicable, make his
report accessible to a layperson with zero background knowledge of
econometrics, and who has a rudimentary, college-level knowledge of
economics and mathematics."
FIRST FOUR MOTIONS
The first four motions to exclude Ledgerwood's testimony that were
denied by the court, centered on the construction of the Ledgerwood
model itself -- essentially the raw ingredients fed into the
formula.
Attorneys for both parties are required to file a notice with the
court after conferring with Wooldridge as to a possible deadline
for filing a new report.
After the report is filed, according to the order, then both sides
will be required to submit a proposed briefing schedule.
DTN reached out to Archer Daniels Midland as well as to an attorney
representing AOT.
AOT and other companies have alleged ADM manipulated ethanol
prices, violating the Commodity Exchange Act.
Specifically, AOT alleged ADM suppressed the daily benchmark price
of ethanol to benefit its short positions. AOT has alleged ADM's
actions benefited the company by increasing the value of ADM's
"short" or "hedged" ethanol positions.
AOT filed a class-action lawsuit in May 2020, alleging ADM
manipulated the daily ethanol market at the Argo terminal by
flooding the fuel terminal with lower-priced ethanol starting in
November 2017 through March 2019. The specific trading in question
occurred during the 30-minute "market-on-close," or MOC, window.
PREVIOUS CONCLUSIONS
Wooldridge reportedly has previously concluded AOT did not suffer
economic damage from ADM's alleged actions.
The model Ledgerwood developed, according to court documents,
includes:
-- Futures price of corn
-- Wages paid to manufacturing workers
-- Electricity and natural gas prices
-- Prices of byproducts of ethanol production
-- Railroad transportation costs
-- Storms or other severe weather in Illinois
-- Gasoline price in New York Harbor
-- Price of renewable identification numbers, or RINs
-- Amount of ethanol and gasoline stocks in the U.S.
-- U.S. imports and exports of ethanol and the Chinese tariffs
placed on them.
ADM has previously argued Ledgerwood and his report are not
admissible because the model almost always finds ethanol-price
suppression on ADM's part, and that he used the wrong model and
data for pricing, among other issues. [GN]
AUTODESK INC: Dismissal of Class Action Under Appeal
----------------------------------------------------
Autodesk, Inc. disclosed in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q, for
the period ending April 30, 2026, dated and delivered to the
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2026, that a class
action suit filed against it was dismissed and is on appeal.
Derviative action have been filed and consolidated.
On April 24, 2024, Michael Barkasi filed a purported federal
securities class action complaint in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of California against Autodesk, the
company, its Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Anagnost, and its
former Chief Financial Officer, Deborah L. Clifford. The complaint,
which was filed shortly after the company's announcement of the
Internal Investigation regarding the company's free cash flow and
non-GAAP operating margin practices, generally alleged that the
defendants made false and misleading statements in violation of
Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the Exchange Act), and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
The action purported to be brought on behalf of those who purchased
or otherwise acquired the company's securities between February 23,
2023 and April 16, 2024, and sought unspecified damages and other
relief.
On July 10, 2024, the court appointed a lead plaintiff in the
action, and an amended complaint was filed on September 16, 2024.
On November 25, 2024, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the
complaint, and on July 18, 2025, the court granted defendants'
motion to dismiss with leave to amend. On August 8, 2025,
plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, which purported to assert
claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule
10b-5 promulgated thereunder.
Defendants' motion to dismiss the amended complaint was filed on
August 29, 2025. On January 26, 2026, the court granted defendants'
motion to dismiss the amended complaint with prejudice, and on
February 12, 2026 it entered judgment. Plaintiffs filed a notice of
appeal on March 12, 2026 and filed an opening brief on appeal on
May 27, 2026.
Additionally, on June 7, 2024, a purported stockholder derivative
complaint was filed in the Northern District of California, naming
the company's directors at the time of the complaint and its Chief
Strategy Officer as defendants and the company as a nominal
defendant. The complaint generally alleges violations of Section
14(a) of the Exchange Act and breach of fiduciary duties, aiding
and abetting breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse
of control, and waste of corporate assets, based on similar
underlying allegations contained in the purported federal
securities class action complaint described above.
A second purported stockholder derivative complaint naming the same
defendants was filed in the Northern District of California on June
25, 2024. The complaint in that case generally alleges violations
of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, Section 20(a)
of the Exchange Act, breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment,
abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets,
and contribution, also based on similar underlying allegations
contained in the purported federal securities class action
described above. On October 29, 2024, the court consolidated and
stayed the two stockholder derivative actions.
A third purported stockholder derivative complaint naming the same
defendants was filed in the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware on Feb. 14, 2025. That complaint generally
alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule
10b-5, Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act, breach of
fiduciary duties, misappropriation of information, unjust
enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, and waste of
corporate assets, also based on similar underlying allegations
contained in the purported federal securities class action
described above. The plaintiff in the District of Delaware action
filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of the action without
prejudice on April 4, 2025, which the Court entered on April 7,
2025.

BADGER METER: Faces Securities Class Action Lawsuit
---------------------------------------------------
The law firm of Kirby McInerney LLP announces that a class action
lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who acquired Badger
Meter, Inc. ("Badger Meter" or the "Company") (NYSE:BMI) securities
during the period of April 18, 2024 through April 16, 2026,
inclusive ("the Class Period").
If you suffered a loss on your Badger Meter investments, you have
until August 3, 2026 to request lead plaintiff appointment. Courts
do not consider lead plaintiff applications submitted after this
deadline. If you choose to take no action, you may remain an absent
class member. For more information about the lawsuit:
https://www.kmllp.com/cases-investigations/badger-meter-inc
What Is This Lawsuit About? The lawsuit alleges that Badger Meter's
financial results were at least partially attributable to the
Company's practice of pulling forward customer orders to recognize
revenue early, which concealed weakening demand and deteriorating
near-term order trends. This practice also depleted revenue
otherwise available for future periods, ultimately causing the
disappointing financial results the Company later reported.
However, the Company had previously told investors that Badger
Meter's financial results reflected "ongoing favorable industry
trends," "secular growth drivers," and "solid operating execution."
They likewise touted "strong" demand and said they were seeing
"robust order pacing and a strong bid pipeline that positions us
well for continued sales and earnings growth," and that Badger
Meter possessed a "long runway" for growth.
On July 22, 2025, Badger Meter reported disappointing financial
results for 2Q 2025, including earnings per share ("EPS") below
consensus estimates, declining revenue growth, deteriorating
margins, and warned "we expect absolute sales to decline
sequentially in the third quarter of 2025." The Company said it was
"simply the nature of the business" and blamed a gap caused by the
completion of certain large advanced metering infrastructure
("AMI") projects and delays in the start of others while stating
"our funnel remains as robust as ever" and that demand softness was
"not a concern." On this news, the price of Badger Meter shares
declined by $40.42 per share, or approximately 17%, from $245.22
per share on July 21, 2025 to close at $204.80 on July 22, 2025.
On January 28, 2026, Badger Meter reported disappointing financial
results for 4Q 2025, including missed revenue expectations and a
"6% sequential decline in utility water sales." However, the
Company continued to blame the poor results on "previously
communicated project pacing effects." On this news, the price of
Badger Meter shares declined by $18.09 per share, or approximately
11%, from $164.41 per share on January 27, 2026 to close at $146.32
on January 28, 2026.
Finally, on April 17, 2026, Badger Meter reported disappointing 1Q
2026 financial results including that total sales were "9% lower
than the prior year[]," "[u]tility water sales declined 10%
year-over-year," "[o]perating earnings of $35.2 million, with an
operating margin of 17.4%, compared to operating earnings of $49.4
million and an operating margin of 22.2% in the prior year," and
"[d]iluted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.93, down from $1.30 in
the first quarter of 2025." The Company blamed "project timing,"
but also disclosed that "softer shortcycle municipal customer
ordering" contributed to the disappointing financial results. The
Company also revealed that the "variability" in short-cycle demand
seen in 1Q 2026 "has always existed, inclusive of [the] 2023 to
2025 time frame" but claimed it was "less visible in the revenue
outcomes because of the backlog condition combined with projects in
flight." On this news, the price of Badger Meter shares declined by
$36.75 per share, or approximately 24%, from $152.29 per share on
April 16, 2026 to close at $115.54 on April 17, 2026.
The Lead Plaintiff Appointment Process. The federal securities laws
permit any investor who acquired eligible securities during the
class period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in a class
action lawsuit. Courts typically appoint the investor(s) with the
largest financial loss in the case and the ability to represent the
class rather than investors with simply the largest investment
portfolio. Courts regularly appoint individual investors, whether
acting alone or as a group, as lead plaintiffs. The rights of any
investor who bought shares during the class period are generally
already protected. However, lead plaintiffs have the power to
influence case strategy and have a say in settlement decisions, as
well as decisions concerning allocation of settlement funds among
class members.

Meter securities, have information, or would like to learn more

McInerney LLP by email at investigations@kmllp.com, or fill out the

dwindling;
(3) as a result, Calix was experiencing negative margin
pressure as it was forced to purchase memory components at rising
market prices; and
(4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive
statements about Calix's margins, business, operations, and

basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims

LUKE GRAGLIA, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. CARGILL, INC., Case No. 1:26-cv-03274 (E.D.N.Y., June

CHAMPIONX CORP: Bids for Lead Plaintiff Appointment Due July 14
---------------------------------------------------------------
Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed
against ChampionX Corporation ("ChampionX" or the "Company")
(NASDAQ:CHX). Such investors are advised to contact Danielle Peyton
at newaction@pomlaw.com or 646-581-9980, (or 888.4-POMLAW),
toll-free, Ext. 7980. Those who inquire by e-mail are encouraged to
include their mailing address, telephone number, and the number of
shares purchased.
The class action concerns whether ChampionX and certain of its
officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other
unlawful business practices.
You have until July 14, 2026, to ask the Court to appoint you as
Lead Plaintiff for the class if you purchased or otherwise acquired
ChampionX securities during the Class Period. A copy of the
Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com.
A Complaint has filed on behalf of investors who sold ChampionX
common stock during the Class Period, alleging that the defendants
failed to disclose material information, which artificially
deflated the price of ChampionX common stock.
Per the allegations of the Complaint, on February 29, 2024,
ChampionX received an unsolicited non-public offer from
Schlumberger Limited to purchase all the outstanding shares of
ChampionX for $36.70 per share. On March 7, 2024, Schlumberger
raised its offer to $37.80 per share. The ChampionX class action
lawsuit alleges that while these offers were on the table and
unknown to the investing public, ChampionX was repurchasing its
common stock at market prices significantly below the prices
offered by Schlumberger. ChampionX had an obligation to disclose
that it had received a formal acquisition offer from Schlumberger
or abstain from purchasing ChampionX stock from unsuspecting
investors.
During the Class Period, ChampionX's average stock price was $33.32
per share. On Tuesday, April 2, 2024, during pre-market hours,
ChampionX disclosed the merger with Schlumberger. The merger
eventually closed on July 16, 2025, with Schlumberger acquiring
ChampionX for $40.58 per share.

CHARLTON ARIA: Faces Consolidated Derivative Actions
----------------------------------------------------
Charlton Aria Acquisition Corp. disclosed in its annual report on
Form 10-K, for the period ending Dec. 31, 2025, dated Tuesday, May
27, 2026, and delivered to the Securities and Exchange Commission
on Thursday, May 28, 2026, that Nova LifeStyle, Inc. is currently
facing a consolidated derivate action in the U.S. District Court
for the Central District of California.
On March 8, 2019, Jie Yuan filed a putative shareholder derivative
lawsuit purportedly on behalf of Nova LifeStyle, Inc. in the
Central District of California. The action was brought against Nova
LifeStyle's former and current CEOs and CFOs (Thanh H. Lam, Ya Ming
Wong, Jeffery Chuang, and Yuen Ching Ho), directors (Charlie Huy
La, Bin Liu, Umesh Patel, and Min Su), and vice president (Steven
Qiang Liu), seeking to recover any losses Nova LifeStyle sustains
as a result of alleged securities violations. The plaintiff also
alleges that President and CEO Lam engaged in self-dealing
transactions by leasing her property to Diamond Bar, a Nova
LifeStyle subsidiary, and asserts that Lam, former CEO and director
Ya Ming Wong, former CFO and director Yuen Ching Ho, and director
Umesh Patel sold securities during that period of time.
Separately, on May 15, 2019, Wilton Samuels filed a putative
derivative complaint purportedly on behalf of Nova LifeStyle
against the same current and former directors and officers named in
the Jie Action, other than Steven Qiang Liu, in the same court.
Samuels repeats the allegations of the complaint in the Jie action,
and additionally claimed that, in announcing its change of auditing
firms in September 2016, Nova LifeStyle asserted that this change
was made because its existing auditor ceased auditing public
companies subject to regulation in the United States without
disclosing that its new auditing firm was created in a merger of
three accounting firms, including a firm whose registration was
revoked by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Samuels
also claims that Nova LifeStyle redeemed its stock in reliance upon
the same purported fraudulent recognition of revenues claimed in
the putative class action. He purports to state direct claims under
Sections 10(b) and 20 of the Exchange Act and SEC Rule 10b-5 based
on these alleged misstatements and omissions.
As a follow-up, the company further reported that, upon the request
of the defendants, the court in both the Jie and the Samuels action
agreed, in April 2020 and June 2020 respectively, to stay those
shareholder derivative proceedings until the Barney Action was
resolved. The Barney Action was subsequently settled, and the final
settlement was approved by the court in April 2024.
In January 2025, following that settlement, and upon stipulation by
the respective plaintiffs and defendants in the Jie Action and the
Samuels Action, the court issued an order consolidating the two
derivative actions into a single case, lifting the stay, and
setting a new briefing schedule for the parties to move forward
with the consolidated litigation.
Charlton Aria Acquisition Corp is a special purpose acquisition
company (SPAC) formed to effect a merger, capital stock exchange,
asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar
business combination with one or more businesses. The company has
no operating business of its own and is focused on identifying and

CLINICAL REGISTRY: Dowdell Sues Over Inadequate Data Security
-------------------------------------------------------------
ALBERT DOWDELL, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff, v. CLINICAL REGISTRY SOLUTIONS, Defendant,
Case No. 1:26-cv-02948 (E.D.N.Y., May 18, 2026) arises out of
Defendant Clinical Registry Solutions' failures to properly secure,
safeguard, encrypt, and/or timely and adequately destroy
Plaintiff's and Class Members' sensitive personal identifiable
information that it had acquired and stored for its business
purposes.
On or about May 6, 2026, the threat actor "Akira" successfully
breached Defendant's inadequately protected computer systems and
accessed and exfiltrated approximately 41 gigabytes of highly
sensitive data, including patient registry data, employee personal
information, and other corporate records. The incident was publicly
reported by DeXpose and other cybersecurity intelligence sources.
However, Defendant has not yet provided adequate notice to all
affected individuals.
Accordingly, the Plaintiff brings this class action lawsuit to
address Defendant's inadequate safeguarding of Class Members'
private information that it collected and maintained, and for
failing to provide timely and adequate notice to Plaintiff and
other Class Members that their information had been subject to the
unauthorized access. The Plaintiff asserts claims for negligence,
negligence per se, breach of implied contract, breach of fiduciary
duty, unjust enrichment, and declaratory judgment.
Clinical Registry Solutions is a healthcare data management and
clinical registry abstraction company headquartered in Brooklyn,

COVIDIEN LP: Judge Approves Bid for Surgical Mesh Compensation
--------------------------------------------------------------
BBC reports that a judge has given the go-ahead for more than 80
people to pursue a US-style class action compensation claim against
the manufacturers of a surgical mesh.
Following an earlier hearing at the Court of Session in Edinburgh,
Lady Haldane gave permission for the group proceedings against
Covidien LP.
Those involved all had treatment for hernias using mesh products
made by the firm.
Lawyers for Covidien previously opposed permission for the group
proceedings to be be brought.
The firm's advocate Astrid Smart KC told the court that the claims
were too diverse to be dealt with as a group action.
She said there were differences in the type of the mesh products
used, in the type of hernias and the specific medical circumstances
of each of the cases.
However, in the judgement published on Friday, May 29, Lady Haldane
rejected her arguments.
The judge said the legal test, which needed to be applied at this
stage of the process, was not to study each individual claim but to
assess whether the cases raised issues that were the same, similar
or related.
She added: "On the question of commonality, the statutory test is
whether the proposed proceedings raise issues that are the same as,
or similar, or related to each other.
"The issues are not identical, that much is true. The group members
had a variety of mesh products implanted to treat various types of
hernia.
"The common factor is that all were manufactured by the
respondent."
Lady Haldane said the case, which has been brought by 84 patients,
would examine whether the company was negligent.
The judgement does not determine whether Covidien was negligent or
whether any of its products were defective.
The judgement also does not establish whether any member of the
group is entitled to damages.
Those issues will be decided at a later stage. [GN]
CRAFTMIX INC: Cardenas Sues Over Mislabeled Drink Mix Products

situated, Plaintiff v. CRAFTMIX, INC., Defendant, Case No.
2:26-at-00834 (E.D. Cal., May 18, 2026) alleges that the Defendant
manufactures, distributes, advertises and sells mislabeled drink
mix products.
According to the Plaintiff in the complaint, through the
representations on the front of the label of the Products that the
Products are "All Natural", and the reiteration of this
representation in the marketing material and Products' online
listing (these combined representations shall be known as the
"Misrepresentations"), Defendant conveys that the Products are all
natural and free from artificial ingredients.
But contrary to the Misrepresentations, the Products contain a
number of artificial ingredients, including citric acid, alleges
the suit.

In the class action lawsuit captioned as OLIVIA PARROTT, et al., v.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, Case No. 1:21-cv-02930-RCL (D.D.C.), the
Parties ask the Court to enter an order granting their motion for
extension of time to complete liability and class certification
discovery.
The Parties have conferred and seek an additional 45 days (until

productions. The Plaintiffs do not oppose the District's request
for an additional 30 days to respond to the Plaintiffs' RFAs. The
Plaintiff likewise do not oppose the District's request for an
additional two weeks—until June 12, 2026, to provide its amended

No. 2:26-cv-01075 (E.D. La., May 19, 2026) is a class action

of harm to Plaintiffs and Class Members, including if the harm
occurred through the acts of a third party.
By collecting, obtaining, accepting, managing, storing,

EDDIE BAUER: Court Stays Parra Class Action Due to Bankruptcy
-------------------------------------------------------------
The Hon. Serena R. Murillo of the U.S. District Court for the
Central District of California stayed the class action lawsuit
captioned as BRANDON PARRA, Plaintiff, v. EDDIE BAUER LLC, et al.,
Defendants, Case No. 2:25-cv-09998-SRM-SK (C.D. Cal.) under 11
U.S.C. Sec. 362(a)(1). Plaintiff Brandon Parra's motion to remand
is denied subject to refiling within 30 days after the stay has
been lifted.
On February 13, 2026, Defendant Eddie Bauer LLC filed a Notice of
Suggestion of Bankruptcy. Defendant states that it and certain
affiliates filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of New Jersey.
Under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 362(a)(1), once a petition for relief is
filed, judicial proceedings against the debtor that were commenced
before the bankruptcy proceeding are automatically stayed. The
Clerk of Court is directed to administratively close the case.
Class Action
Plaintiff was employed by Defendant in California from November of

EDUCATIONAL EMPLOYEES : ClassAction.org Probes Data Breach
----------------------------------------------------------
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a
class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the EECU data
breach.
As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals
who had their information exposed in the incident, including those
who received notice of the EECU data breach or otherwise believe
they are affected.
EECU Security Incident: What Happened?
Educational Employees Credit Union (EECU), serving over 402,000
members across 12 California counties, has reported a data breach
involving unauthorized access to an employee's email account.
A sample notification letter states that on December 15, 2025, the
intrusion was identified. An investigation revealed that emails may
have been accessed or extracted by an unauthorized party on the
same day as detection. A review of the impacted email account
determined on May 8, 2026 that certain emails accessed in the
Educational Employees Credit Union data breach contained personal
information.
According to a report submitted to the Texas Attorney General's
Office, names, addresses, Social Security numbers, driver's license
numbers, and financial information may have been compromised in the
EECU data breach.
What You Can Do After the EECU Data Breach
If your information was exposed in the EECU data breach, attorneys
want to hear from you. You may be able to start a class action
lawsuit to recover compensation for loss of privacy, time spent
dealing with the breach, out-of-pocket costs, and more.
A successful case could also force EECU to ensure they take proper
steps to protect the information they were entrusted with.
An attorney or legal representative may then reach out to you to
explain more about this investigation and ask you a few questions.
Remember, there is no cost to get in touch, and you are under no
obligation to take action after speaking to someone. [GN]

ELECTROLUX CONSUMER: Sued Over Defective Frigidaire Gas Ranges
--------------------------------------------------------------
Tracy Bagdonas of ClassAction.org reports that Electrolux Consumer
Products faces a proposed class action lawsuit in the wake of a
March 2026 recall of certain Frigidaire gas ranges plagued by a
defect that can cause delayed ignition of the oven's bake burner,
posing a significant burn risk.
The 18-page complaint contends that Electrolux falsely marketed the
Frigidaire gas ranges as safe for normal use. The class action
lawsuit contends that consumers who have bought the Frigidaire gas
ranges, sold between June 2025 and January 2026 by Lowe's and Home
Depot, among other retailers, and directly from Frigidaire, are now
saddled with a "worthless and dangerous product."
According to the complaint, Electrolux received at least 62 reports
of delayed ignition involving the oven's bake burner, including 30
reports of consumer injuries.
The case alleges that Electrolux fraudulently failed to disclose to
consumers the Frigidaire gas ranges' burn risk.
"[Electrolux] had superior knowledge about the defective nature of
the product at issue, particularly the risk of a burn hazard
presented by the delayed ignition, which made them unfit for
ordinary use," the filing asserts.
Per the complaint, the recall applies to all Frigidaire, Frigidaire
Gallery, and Frigidaire Professional gas ranges bearing the
following model numbers:
FCFG3083AS, FCRG3083AD, FCRG3083AS, GCFG3060BD,
GCFG3060BF, GCFG3070BF, GCRG3060BD, GCRG3060BF,
PCFG3080AF, FCFG3062AB, FCFG3062AS, FCFG3062AW,
FCRG3051BB, FCRG3051BS, FCRG3051BW, FCRG3052BB,
FCRG3052BS, FCRG3052BW, FCRG3062AB, FCRG3062AS,
FCRG3062AW, FCRG306LAF and GCFG3059BF,
within the serial number range VF52200000 through VF54399999.
The March 2026 Consumer Product Safety Commission recall covers
approximately 174,800 units across the United States, the suit
reads.
As part of the recall, the CPSC instructed consumers to stop using
an affected Frigidaire range immediately and contact Electrolux for
a free repair, though the product's cooktop burners could continue
to be used safely, the watchdog agency said.
However, the lawsuit argues that consumers were misled by
Electrolux's marketing as the company failed to disclose the
delayed ignition problem and burn injuries before selling the
products, and that their ovens would have diminished usability as a
result of the flaw.
According to the complaint, Electrolux could have used alternative
designs or materials already available to competing manufacturers
that would have mitigated the burn risk. The lawsuit argues that
the burner defect in the Frigidaire ranges was "demonstrably
avoidable" had the company implemented safer design modifications
before selling the ranges.
The Frigidaire gas range class action lawsuit looks to represent
all individuals in the United States who purchased a
Frigidaire-branded oven and gas range that was recalled in March
2026 within the applicable statute of limitations period. [GN]
ENTRATA INC: Faces Fish Class Action Suit Over Junk Fees
--------------------------------------------------------
URIAH FISH and KELLEY ROWAN, individually and on behalf of all
others similarly situated v. ENTRATA, INC., Case No. 1:26-cv-02416
(D. Colo., June 1, 2026) case arises because Entrata lies about the
fees that it charges to tenants, charges them for services they do
not receive, and sells a credit repair product without providing
consumers with information required by the Credit Repair
Organizations Act, the Colorado Credit Services Organization Act,
and the Colorado Consumer Protection Act.
According to the complaint, the Defendant is a company that offers
a product called RentPlus. When tenants sign a lease with their
property management company (PMC) or landlord, many of those leases
include a RentPlus Lease Addendum drafted by Defendant -- claiming
that "the RentPlus service is a credit reporting and financial
tool" that reports "rent and/or utility payments" to the major
credit bureaus: Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian.
The Defendant further touts its product as "an amenity provided by
the property" to tenants, who are charged $8.95 per month for
RentPlus to purportedly improve their credit scores. In reality,
however, these are untrue and deceptive statements regarding the
services provided by RentPlus for several reasons. One, while
Defendant positions its product as a benefit to tenants, PMCs
receive a significant kickback each month for luring unsuspecting
tenants into enrolling in RentPlus, says the suit.
The Defendant's addenda create the appearance that Defendant's
product is truly a third-party service and amenity that provides
benefits to tenants -- rather than an inflated fee used to compound
the rent burden on low and middle-income Americans. Moreover, many
landlords already report all payment activity -- both positive and
negative -- to major credit reporting companies, which provide
reports to landlords for use in making rental decisions, the suit
alleges.
Plaintiff Fish was initially enrolled in RentPlus from December
2020 to November 2024, and again through a negative option
provision in his residential lease from December 2024 to the
present.
Plaintiff Rowan was enrolled in RentPlus through a negative option
provision in her residential lease from January 2026 to April 2026.
Entrata owns and operates RentPlus by RentDynamics, a
rent-reporting service marketed as improving consumers' credit
scores and credit histories.[BN]

EVERSOURCE ENERGY: Fails to Secure Personal Info, Baker Says
------------------------------------------------------------
DEBORAH BAKER, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. EVERSOURCE ENERGY SERVICE COMPANY, Case No.
1:26-cv-12464-LTS (D. Mass., June 1, 2026) alleges that the
Defendant failed to properly secure and safeguard Plaintiff's and
Class Members' personally identifiable information from criminal
hackers, resulting in a data breach.
On or around May 21, 2026, the Defendant reported to the Maine
Attorney General's Office that it experienced a data breach
impacting approximately 3,049 individuals. According to the
Defendant, in April of 2026, Defendant experienced a cybercriminal
phishing campaign that resulted in unauthorized use of the
credentials of two employees to access a limited number of files,
some of which contained customer information (the Data Breach).
The Defendant claims it blocked activities by this hacker group and
implemented additional security measures in response to the Breach
to further strengthen its cybersecurity systems. After an
investigation, the Defendant determined that some current and
former customer data was contained in the files that were accessed
during the Data Breach.
The types of PII exposed in the Data Breach varied by individual,
but the types of PII involved included names, mailing and utility
service addresses and account information, phone numbers, emails,
Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, federal
identification numbers, financial account numbers, and account
information (Private Information).
The Defendant collected and maintained this Private Information
during the course of providing utility services to former and
current customers or customer household members, says the suit.
The Defendant is a utility company serving Connecticut,
Massachusetts and New Hampshire.[BN]

EXPEDITED TRAVEL: Faces Class Suit Over RushMyPassport Services
---------------------------------------------------------------
Top Class Actions reports that plaintiff Tyler Alfonzetti filed a
class action lawsuit against Expedited Travel LLC.
Why: Alfonzetti claims Expedited Travel falsely marketed
RushMyPassport services as an "expedited" passport service.
Where: The RushMyPassport class action lawsuit was filed in New
York federal court.
A new class action lawsuit accuses Expedited Travel of falsely
advertising RushMyPassport services as a faster way for consumers
to obtain passports.
The class action lawsuit claims the company marketed the services
through RushMyPassport.com, FedEx, AARP and AAA while promising
consumers they could help them get their passports fast and save
them time.
Plaintiff Tyler Alfonzetti claims he purchased expedited passport
services through FedEx at fedex.rushmypassport.com after reviewing
the company's advertising and believing he would receive his
passport faster than if he applied directly through the Department
of State.
According to the class action lawsuit, Expedited Travel offers
several tiers of passport services, ranging from "1 Business Day"
to "6 Weeks" and charges consumers between $119 and $740 in
addition to government passport fees.
However, the complaint alleges consumers can already obtain
expedited passport processing directly through the Department of
State for an additional $60 fee on top of the standard passport
application cost.
"The Department of State warns that individuals using a company
like Defendant's 'will not receive' their 'passport faster than
applying' directly through the Department of State," the class
action lawsuit says.
The complaint claims consumers paid a price premium for services
that were allegedly "no faster than applying through the Department
of State and will not result in a consumer receiving their passport
any sooner than applying directly."
RushMyPassport class action lawsuit: Consumers paid premium prices
The complaint claims Expedited Travel marketed the services as
"best for travelers on tight timelines" and as "the most convenient
way to get an expedited passport in a hurry." The lawsuit alleges
these statements created the impression consumers would receive
faster processing through RushMyPassport than directly through the
government.
The RushMyPassport class action further alleges consumers relied on
these marketing statements when deciding whether to purchase the
services. Alfonzetti claims he and other consumers would not have
purchased the services, or would not have paid as much for them,
had they known the services allegedly did not provide faster
passport processing.
Alfonzetti seeks to represent a class of people who purchased the
services in New York within the applicable statute of limitations
period. The complaint alleges Expedited Travel violated New York
General Business Law Sections 349 and 350.
Alfonzetti is seeking certification of the proposed class, damages,
attorney fees, costs and other relief. The complaint also requests
a jury trial.
In 2021, FedEx was hit with a class action lawsuit alleging it
failed to deliver packages within the promised time frame despite
charging customers premium rates for expedited shipping.
The plaintiff is represented by Innessa M. Huot of Faruqi & Faruqi
LLP and Brittany S. Scott of Smith Krivoshey P.C.
The RushMyPassport class action lawsuit is Alfonzetti v. Expedited
Travel LLC, Case No. 1:26-cv-03216, in the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New York. [GN]

ZACHARY BOYLE, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. FUTURHEALTH, INC.; and DOES 1 through 50,
inclusive, Defendants, Case No. 3:26-cv-03138-AJB-BJW (S.D. Cal.,
May 19, 2026) alleges violation of the California's False
Advertising Law.
The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Defendants deceives
consumers throughout the US who are browsing online via its
website, https://fh.co as well as consumers who receive its
marketing advertisements via targeted marketing advertisements on
various online platforms. Such advertisements contain false
statements regarding the safety and success rate of the Defendants'
program, and results consumers can expect.
The Defendants misrepresents the benefits, likely results, safety,
and success rate of the programs it offers to consumers by
misrepresenting that consumers will lose a certain percentage of
their body weight, that its patients generally lose significantly
more weight by participating in the programs rather than taking
weight loss medication alone, that its program and associated
medications are scientifically backed, Food and Drug Administration
approved, and otherwise medically safe, and that the medication can
be safely taken and will be effective, says the suit.

weight loss and nutrition. The Company offers virtual medical

LINDA-KAY GANGE, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated v. GASTRO HEALTH, LLC, Case No. 1:26-cv-23839 (S.D. Fla.,
June 1, 2026) is a class action lawsuit against Defendant for its
negligent failure to protect and safeguard Plaintiff's and Class
Members' highly sensitive personally identifiable information and
protected health information, culminating in a massive and
preventable data breach (the Data Breach).
As part of its business practices and to provide services,
Defendant collects, stores, and maintains patients’ PII and PHI,
including Plaintiff's and Class Members". The Plaintiff and Class
Members are current and former patients of Defendant. Between
February 25, 2026, and March 2, 2026, unauthorized cybercriminals
twice gained access to Defendant’s inadequately protected
computer system and Plaintiff’s and the Class Member's Private
Information stored thereon.
As a result of the Defendant's failure to implement reasonable and
necessary data security practices, cybercriminals easily
infiltrated Defendant's inadequately protected computer systems and
stole the Private Information of Plaintiff and Class Members, says
the suit.

GENERAC POWER: Settles Defective Solar Panels' Suit for $15MM
-------------------------------------------------------------
Top Class Actions reports that Generac Power Systems, Inc. has
agreed to pay $15 million in a class action settlement to resolve
claims that SnapRS devices in its PWRcell solar power systems are
defective.
The Generac settlement benefits current owners and primary users of
Generac PWRcell systems purchased in the United States before Jan.
9, 2026. Owners are defined as any person or entity that holds
contractual ownership rights to a PWRcell system. Primary users are
homeowners or other occupants of the property where a PWRcell
system is installed who are financially responsible for the

Generac is a power systems company that sells generators, solar
panels and other products. The company sells PWRcell solar power
systems that are designed to store solar energy for later use.
According to allegations made in a class action lawsuit, SnapRS

entire system to fail. Plaintiffs in the case say these devices are
known to overheat, melt and fail. As a result of these defects,
consumers are allegedly forced to pay out of pocket for repairs and
replacements.
Generac has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $15 million
class action settlement to resolve the allegations.
Under the terms of the Generac settlement, class members can
receive a cash payment based on the number of SnapRS devices in
their system. Class members who submit valid claims will receive a
pro rata share of the settlement fund. Exact payments will vary
depending on the number of devices in each claimant's system.
Class members who can provide evidence of out-of-pocket financial
losses associated with a SnapRS-related problem may be able to
receive reimbursement for all or some of these losses.
Class members who can provide evidence of a significant loss of
energy generation associated with a SnapRS-related problem for two
or more months may be able to receive additional compensation.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is July 20, 2026.
The final approval hearing for the Generac settlement is scheduled
for Oct. 21, 2026.
To receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid
claim by Aug. 24, 2026.
Who's Eligible
The class action settlement benefits current owners and primary
users of Generac PWRcell systems who purchased their systems before
Jan. 9, 2026.
Potential Award
Varies

GENERAL MOTORS: Gonzalez Balks at Vehicles' Water Intrusion Defect
------------------------------------------------------------------
Filiberto Loza Gonzalez, individually and on behalf of a class of
similarly situated individuals v. General Motors, LLC, Case No.
1:26-at-02324 (E.D. Cal., June 1, 2026) alleges that Defendant's
Class Vehicles are equipped with a defective rear sliding glass
windows (Water Intrusion Defect).
This is a class action brought by Plaintiff, for himself and on
behalf all Class Members who purchased or leased the following
vehicles in California, that were first placed into service after
January 3, 2019: model year 2019 new model Chevrolet Silverado 1500
vehicles, 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vehicles, 2020 Chevrolet
Silverado 2500 HD vehicles, 2020 Chevrolet 3500HD vehicles, 2019
new model GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles,
2020 GMC Sierra 2500 HD vehicles, and 2020 GMC Sierra 3500HD
vehicles.
According to the complaint, the defect is that the rear sliding
glass windows are susceptible to water intrusion. The rear window
consists of fixed glass and a sliding glass. The frame of the
window is plastic and sealed with a urethane seal. When
manufactured, the Class Vehicles were expected to be made with the
ability to endure weather consistent with that of a car that would
remain outdoors all or some of the time, including being exposed to
rain and fluctuations in temperature, the suit says.
On or about April 29, 2019, Plaintiff Gonzalez purchased a new 2019
GMC Sierra 1500 truck, VIN 1GTU9BEDXKZ295511 (Gonzalez Vehicle)
from Fresno Buick GMC.
Fresno is a GM franchise dealership, authorized by GM to perform
warranty repairs and sell GM vehicles.

HARLEY-DAVIDSON INC: Recalls Motorcycles Due to Oil Defect Risk
---------------------------------------------------------------
Top Class Actions reports that Harley-Davidson is recalling 88,039
motorcycles, including specific models like the 2024–2026 FLTRX
and FLHX and 2025–2026 FXBR and FLFB.
Why: A defect may cause oil to eject from the motorcycle,
increasing the risk of injury.
Where: The Harley-Davidson recall is active in the United States.
Harley-Davidson is recalling nearly 90,000 motorcycles due to a
defect that could potentially cause oil ejection, posing an injury
risk.
The Harley-Davidson recall was announced following the discovery of
a problem with the breather port, which may become blocked. This
blockage can lead to pressure building inside the crankcase. If the
dipstick is removed while the crankcase is pressurized, oil could
be expelled from the fill spout, creating a hazard.
The recall affects 88,039 Harley-Davidson motorcycles, including
select models, such as the 2024–2026 FLTRX and FLHX and
2025–2026 FXBR and FLFB, as reported by the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Dealers to inspect and repair Harley-Davidson motorcycles at no
cost
In response to this defect, Harley-Davidson says its dealers will
conduct inspections of the breather ports and address any blockages
at no cost to the motorcycle owners.
Notification letters are expected to be sent to motorcycle owners
by May 11, according to the NHTSA.
For further information regarding the Harley-Davidson recall,
affected motorcycle owners are encouraged to reach out to
Harley-Davidson customer service at 1-800-258-2464. This line is
available for any inquiries or concerns related to the recall
process.
Harley-Davidson says it has not received any reports of injuries
related to the recall so far. The company is not currently facing
legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls
closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits. [GN]
HEALTH CARE SERVICE: Rutherford Loses Bid for Class Certification
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as JOHNNY C. RUTHERFORD, JR.
and MARY RUTHERFORD, and JOHNNY RUTHERFORD on behalf of those
similarly situated, v. HEALTH CARE SERVICE CORPORATION, A Mutual
Legal Reserve Company, doing business in Montana as Blue Cross and
Blue Shield of Montana, and MONTANA UNIVERSITY SYSTEM, Case No.
6:24-cv-00081-BMM (D. Mont.), the Hon. Judge Morris entered an
order denying Rutherford's motion for class certification and
appointment of Class Counsel.
The Court declines to reinstate Rutherford's Article III standing
at class certification based on Rutherford's claim that HCSC
impermissibly "picked off" Rutherford through payment of his claim.
Rutherford could not seek reprocessing on a class-wide basis at the
time Rutherford amended his complaint to add class action claims.
Rutherford lacked, and continues to lack, Article III standing to
assert his classwide claims for injunctive relief in the form of
reprocessing.
Rutherford moves the Court for class certification under Rule
23(b)(3) against HCSC for systematically having denied claims as
"not medically necessary" due to insufficient documentation without
reasonably having investigated the claims before denial.
Rutherford provides the following class definition:
"All policyholders and plan members covered under non-ERISA
health plans in Montana that are administered by HCSC and
subject to Montana claim handling law, who within the
applicable statute of limitations period have had claims
denied by HCSC as "not medically necessary," where the denial
was expressly based on lack of documentation to meet the
requirements of the applicable medical policy, and where such
claims were subject to HCSC’s standard operating procedure
("NMN SOP") that governs medical necessity determinations."
Health Care is a member-owned health insurance company in the
United States.
A copy of the Court's order dated May 28, 2026, is available from
PacerMonitor.com at https://urlcurt.com/u?l=pod2IB at no extra

HEALTHEQUITY INC: Renewed Bid to Compel Arbitration Filed
---------------------------------------------------------
HealthEquity, Inc. disclosed in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
for the period ending April 30, 2026, dated and delivered to the
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 28, 2026, that it is
facing a consolidated putative class action lawsuit in federal
court in the District of Utah as a result of a cybersecurity
incident in 2025, in which a business partner's user account
containing personally identifiable information was breached.
The plaintiffs allege that the company failed to implement
reasonable data security practices, which resulted in a breach and
disclosure of plaintiffs' and others' personally identifiable
information and protected health information. The plaintiffs are
seeking, among other damages, unspecified monetary damages,
equitable relief, costs, and attorneys' fees arising out of the
incident.
On December 13, 2024, the company filed a motion to dismiss the
class action and a motion to compel arbitration. On May 5, 2025,
the court dismissed the company's motion to compel arbitration
without prejudice as ell as the the motion to dismiss, with the
court noting that the company could refile both motions after the
conclusion of discovery. On May 15, 2026, the company filed its
renewed motion to compel arbitration.
HealthEquity, Inc. is a technology-enabled services company that
administers health savings accounts and other consumer-directed
benefits, providing platforms, tools, and support to help

HORMEL FOODS: Trial Set in Turkey Antitrust MDL
-----------------------------------------------
Hormel Foods Corp. disclosed in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
for the period ending April 26, 2026, dated and delivered to the
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 28, 2026, that it is
currently facing "In re Turkey Antitrust Litigation" in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, where
beginning in December 2019 a series of class action complaints were
filed against the company, several other turkey-processing
companies, and a benchmarking service called "Agri Stats."
The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that from at least 2010
to 2017 the defendants conspired and combined to fix, raise,
maintain, and stabilize the price of turkey products, including
through the use of Agri Stats, in violation of federal antitrust
laws. The complaints brought on behalf of classes of indirect
purchasers also assert causes of action under various state unfair
competition laws, consumer protection laws, and unjust enrichment
common laws. They seek treble damages, injunctive relief, pre- and
post-judgment interest, costs, and attorneys fees.
Since the original filing, certain direct-action plaintiffs have
opted out of class treatment and are proceeding with individual
direct actions making similar claims, and others may do so in the
future. The defendants' motions for summary judgment were submitted
in January 2026, and those summary judgment motions remain pending.
On May 20, 2026, the court ordered that the first trial related to
these matters, if required, will involve only the class of direct
purchaser plaintiffs and is scheduled to commence on Oct. 8, 2026.
Hormel Foods is a global branded food company known for its
portfolio of meat and protein products sold through retail,
foodservice, and international channels. Founded in 1891 and
headquartered in Austin, Minnesota, the company markets a range of

INDUSTRIAL ACCEPTANCE: ClassAction.org Investigates Data Breach
---------------------------------------------------------------
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a
class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the Industrial
Acceptance Corporation data breach.
As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals
who had their information exposed in the incident, including those
who received notice of the Industrial Acceptance Corporation data
breach or otherwise believe they are affected.
Industrial Acceptance Corporation Security Incident: What
Happened?
Industrial Acceptance Corporation (IAC), which offers automotive
financing options to customers at dozens of East Coast car
dealerships, has reported a data breach affecting 79,216 people.
According to a letter sent to the Maine Attorney General's Office,
IAC discovered unauthorized network activity on February 24, 2025,
which it later determined to be a ransomware attack. A report
submitted to the California Attorney General's Office indicates
that the Industrial Acceptance Corporation data breach occurred on
February 22, two days prior to its discovery.
On or around March 4, 2025, an investigation into the IAC data
breach determined that files were exfiltrated from the company's
network during the ransomware attack. A review of the affected
files concluded on May 11, 2026 and determined that names, driver's
license numbers, and Social Security numbers may have been
compromised.
Impacted individuals were notified by mail on May 28, 2026.
What You Can Do After the Industrial Acceptance Corporation Data
Breach
If your information was exposed in the Industrial Acceptance
Corporation data breach, attorneys want to hear from you. You may

INNOVATIVE INDUSTRIAL: Secures Dismissal of Securities Class Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Foley & Lardner LLP secured dismissal of a putative federal
securities class action against leading real estate investment
trust Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (NYSE: IIPR) and
several of its executives.
The case, pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Maryland, alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 arising from the company's public
statements concerning tenant oversight, due diligence, and
investments in certain cannabis operators. Plaintiffs sought to
represent investors who purchased IIPR securities during a more
than one-year proposed class period.
The Foley team obtained a complete dismissal of the action at the
pleading stage. In a detailed opinion dated May 27, 2026, the court
concluded that plaintiffs failed to adequately plead actionable
misrepresentations or omissions and failed to allege facts giving
rise to a strong inference of scienter as required by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act. The court also dismissed the
related control-person claims asserted against the individual
defendants.
The ruling represents a significant victory for IIPR and its
management team and highlights Foley's experience defending public
companies, directors, and officers in complex securities litigation
and shareholder disputes.
Foley's litigation team included partners Todd Murray and Andrew
Howell along with senior counsel Jarren Ginsburg. [GN]
INSTRUCTURE HOLDINGS: Fails to Prevent Data Breach, Suit Alleges

MOORE PUBLIC SCHOOLS, individually and on behalf of all others

INSTRUCTURE, INC.; KKR & CO. INC., Defendants, Case No.
2:26-cv-00472 (D. Utah, May 22, 2026) is an action against the
Defendants for its failure to properly secure and safeguard
sensitive information of the Plaintiff and the Class.
The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that the Data Breach and its
consequences would not have occurred absent Instructure's failure
to implement rudimentary data-security measures and to respond
appropriately to known threats and vulnerabilities.
Instructure consistently failed to implement and maintain
reasonable, industry-standard data security measures commensurate
with the volume, sensitivity, and legal significance of the
information entrusted to it. As a result, ShinyHunters was able to
access Instructure's systems, exfiltrate massive quantities of
Private Information, and publish a ransom demand threatening to
release data, says the suit.
Instructure Holdings, Inc. operates as a holding company. The
Company, through its subsidiaries, provides learning management

similarly situated, Plaintiff v. INSTRUCTURE, INC., Defendant, Case
No. 2:26-cv-00452-DAO (D. Utah, May 18, 2026) is a class action
arising from the Defendant's failure to protect highly sensitive
data.
According to the Plaintiff in the complaint, the Defendant stores a
litany of highly sensitive personal identifiable information about
its current and former consumers. But the Defendant lost control
over that data when cybercriminals infiltrated its insufficiently
protected computer systems in a data breach (the "Data Breach").
Cybercriminals were able to breach the Defendant's systems because
Defendant failed to adequately train its employees on cybersecurity
and failed to maintain reasonable security safeguards or protocols
to protect the Class's PII. In short, the Defendant's failures
placed the Class's PII in a vulnerable position -- rendering them
easy targets for cybercriminals, says the suit.

KIA AMERICA: O'Connell Sues Over Defective Kia Vehicles
-------------------------------------------------------
CHRIS O'CONNELL, MICHAEL RODEN, RENEE SEVOR, DAVID SMOLLETT, and
MEGAN O'NEIL, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiffs v. KIA AMERICA, INC.; KIA CORPORATION; and
DOES 1 through 100, inclusive, Defendants, Case No. 8:26-cv-01291
(C.D. Cal., May 22, 2026) is an action arising from Kia's failure
to disclose to the Plaintiffs and other consumers of the Class
Vehicles that they are subject to a defect with the digital
instrument cluster, which is deficient and prone to failure (the
"Instrument Cluster Defect") and to adequately remedy the
Instrument Cluster Defect.
The Plaintiffs allege in the complaint that the Class Vehicles
suffer from a latent defect whereby the instrument cluster display
intermittently and suddenly goes completely blank during vehicle
operation. The blank-screen condition may occur at vehicle startup
and while the Class Vehicles are actively being driven.
When the Instrument Cluster Defect manifests, the display shows a
black screen, resulting in the complete loss of visual access to
safety-critical information, including but not limited to vehicle
speed, engine speed, fuel level, tire pressure monitoring system
status, warning and malfunction telltales, driver assistance
alerts, and odometer information, says the suit.

Company offers passenger cars, minivans, sports utility vehicles,

on class certification, the case is stayed pending the decision of

The parties are directed to file a joint status letter within three
days of the Supreme Court's decision in the above cases. The letter
should include the parties' respective positions on the impact of
that decision on this litigation, not to exceed two pages each. If
appropriate, the parties shall attach a proposed case management

KRISTI NOEM: Seeks More Time to File Class Certification Response
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as Doe et al., v. Noem et
al., Case No. 1:26-cv-02280-DEH (S.D.N.Y.), the Defendants ask the
Court to enter an order that their deadline to respond to the class
certification motion be extended by three weeks, to June 18, 2026.
The requested extension is necessary to provide the government with
adequate time to prepare the opposition brief given that the
undersigned Assistant U.S. Attorneys have several competing work
obligations, and one of us will be out of the office on a
previously scheduled leave for the next week.
The government notes that the Court has already effectively granted
class-wide interim relief by postponing the Secretary's termination
as to parties and non-parties alike. Thus, plaintiffs and the
putative class will not be prejudiced by extending the briefing
schedule.
This is the government's second request to extend this deadline,
and plaintiffs consent to the request only in part. Specifically,
the plaintiffs agree to extend the government's opposition deadline
by one week, to June 4, 2026, on the understanding that their reply
brief would be due two weeks later, on June 18, 2026.
This putative class action challenges the Secretary of Homeland
Security's termination of Yemen's Temporary Protected Status
("TPS") designation.
On May 21, 2026, the parties submitted a letter to the Court in
which the government requested that all deadlines in this case and
in a related case.

LUCID GROUP: Faces Securities Fraud Class Action Lawsuit
--------------------------------------------------------
Robbins LLP informs stockholders that a class action was filed on
behalf of all investors who purchased or otherwise acquired Lucid
Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCID) securities between February 25, 2026 and
April 13, 2026. Lucid is a technology company that designs,
develops, manufactures, and sells electric vehicles ("EVs"), EV
powertrains, and battery systems.
The Allegations: Robbins LLP is Investigating Allegations that
Lucid Group, Inc. (LCID) Failed to Disclose Significant Supplier
and Delivery Issues to Investors
According to the complaint, during the class period, defendants
failed to disclose that:
1. a supplier quality issue had significantly disrupted
deliveries of the Lucid Gravity;
2. the foregoing was likely to, and did, have a material
negative impact on the Company's business and financial results;
3. accordingly, the defendants had overstated the purported
enhancements to Lucid's manufacturing and delivery capabilities and
overall operations; and
4. as a result, defendants' public statements were materially
false and misleading at all relevant times.
Plaintiff alleges that on April 14, 2026, Lucid filed a current
report on Form 8-K with the SEC, reporting, inter alia, its
preliminary Q1 2026 financial results, including revenue in the
range of $280 million to $284 million -- well below the consensus
estimate of $433.8 million -- and losses from operations in the
range of $985 million to $1.005 billion. The same day, Lucid issued
a press release revealing its plans for a $1.05 billion capital
raise, including a $300 million public stock offering. Following
these disclosures, Lucid's stock price fell $0.44 per share, or
4.76%, to close at $8.80 per share on April 14, 2026.

MEDICAL SOLUTIONS: Mismanages Retirement Plans, Andersen Alleges
----------------------------------------------------------------
NATALIE ANDERSEN, individually and on behalf of all others
similarly situated, Plaintiff v. MEDICAL SOLUTIONS L.L.C.; and
MEDICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, EMPLOYEE BENEFITS COMMITTEE, Defendants,
Case No. 3:26-cv-03123-RSH-MSB (S.D. Cal., May 19, 2026) alleges
violation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.
The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that as fiduciaries to
Medical Solutions 401(k) Plan ("the Plan"), the Defendants were
obligated to act prudently and for the exclusive benefit of
participants and beneficiaries. Defendants violated their fiduciary
duties of prudence by imprudently removing the Plan's American
Funds Target Return Fund series ("AF TDF") and replacing that
series with the JP Morgan SmartRetirement Target Date Fund series
("JPM TDF"), despite the AF TDF's exceptionally strong long‑term
performance under Defendants' own criteria and monitoring reports
and all accepted Modern Portfolio Theory ("MPT") metrics measuring,
returns, risk adjusted performance, manager performance, and cost.
As a result of the Defendants' imprudent decision to remove the AF
TDF and retain the JPM TDF Funds, Plan participants earned millions
of dollars less in retirement savings than they would have earned
had Defendants acted prudently, says the suit.

MT. BAKER: Agrees to Settle Ransomware Attack Class Suit for $3.3MM
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac Stone Simonelli, writing for Cascadia Daily News, reports
that Mt. Baker Imaging and Northwest Radiologists agreed to a
proposed $3.3 million settlement in a class action lawsuit that
alleged thousands of patients' personal data was stolen due to
"negligence and inadequate" security measures.
Mailers notifying patients of the proposed settlement for the
January 2025 ransomware attack started showing up in mailboxes this
month.
Four separate class-action lawsuits were consolidated in the
settlement, which provides up to $5,000 per affected person for
"out-of-pocket losses." These costs can include money lost due to
fraud or identity theft, unreimbursed costs of credit monitoring
and other clearly documented items connected to the cyber attack.
Patients can also claim a pro rata fund payment, which is
essentially the division of the remaining funds after all other
expenses are paid, including attorney fees not to exceed $1.1
million and $4,000 per person for the handful of patients named in
the cases. Additionally, patients can claim two years of a medical
data protection and monitoring service.
The agreement "is intended to fully, finally and forever resolve
all claims" and does not admit fault or liability, according to the
settlement agreement.
However, patients involved can exclude themselves from the
agreement to preserve a right to file a claim outside the
settlement. That deadline is July 20. The final hearing for the
proposed settlement agreement was set for August 21.
Claims can be submitted at https://www.mtbakerdatasettlement.com/
Through the attack, hackers accessed records of more than 348,000
Washington residents. These included patients' first and last names
in combination with various other information, such as Social
Security numbers, diagnosis, treatment, address, driver's license
number, email address, phone number and/or patient identification
number.
Mt. Baker Imaging, which has six locations in Whatcom County,

The company first called the ransomware attack an ongoing "computer
network disruption" on Jan. 28, 2025. Cybercriminals first accessed
and started stealing sensitive patient data on Jan. 20. The problem
wasn't identified until roughly five days later.
Nearly two months after the January attack, the outpatient

NATIONAL BASKETBALL: Faces Suit Over Unfair Telemarketing Messages
------------------------------------------------------------------
TCPAWorld reports that so the NBA is right in the middle of its
playoffs but they will have to play defense on a whole different
level.
A consumer named George Head who resides in Orange County,
California has sued the NBA claiming it continued to send him
marketing SMS messages even after he requested they stop.
The allegations here are pretty thin but here is what he claims:
On or about November 29, 2025, Plaintiff requested to opt-out of
Defendant's text messages by replying with a stop instruction.
Defendant ignored Plaintiff's request and continued text messaging
Plaintiff, including, but not limited to, on or about December 15,
2025.
Overall, Defendant sent Plaintiff more than one marketing text
message after Plaintiff's initial stop request.
The purpose of Defendant's text messages was to solicit the sale of
consumer goods, services, and/or properties
Ok.
We have been seeing a ton of these revocation cases lately --
something EVERYBODY needs to be VERY aware of since consumers do
NOT just need to reply "stop" to effectuate an opt out.
The Plaintiff contends the messages demonstrate the NBA lacked the
formal written internal DNC policy required by the TCPA.
On the basis of these rather thing allegations Plaintiff seeks to
represent a class of:
All persons within the United States who, within the four
years prior to the filing of this lawsuit through the date of
class certification, received two or more text messages within
any 12-month period, from or on behalf of Defendant,
regarding Defendant's goods, services, or properties, to said
person's residential cellular telephone number, after
communicating to Defendant that they did not wish to receive
text messages by replying to the messages with a "stop" or
similar opt-out instruction
You can read the whole complaint here:
https://tcpaworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/NBA-Complaint.pdf
Shouldn't be too hard to shake this one, assuming the NBA has the
written policy required by the TCPA regs. If they don't, however,
the NBA could find itself in a catastrophic situation.
If YOU need help making sure you have all the TCPA policies and
procedures you need–and that they are up to date with all the new
changes out there -- be sure to give Troutman Amin, LLP a ring to
discuss.
And if you're not FULLY up to date on the rules around SMS
revocation you REALLY need to give us a call.[GN]
NEW YORK, NY: ACS Faces Class Suit Over Unlawful Child Removals
---------------------------------------------------------------
NYU LAW reports that a coalition of legal advocates, including NYU
Law's Family Defense Clinic filed a major class action against New
York City's Administration for Children's Services (ACS) on
Thursday, May 28, challenging what they describe as a decades-long
pattern of removing children from their families without first
obtaining a court order -- a practice that they argue violates both
New York State law and the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendments of the
US Constitution.
The suit, believed to be the first of its kind, is brought on
behalf of both parents and children -- groups the child welfare
system has often positioned as being at odds. "As courts have
repeatedly recognized, children's and parents' interests are
aligned most of the time, and they always share an interest in due
process," says Professor of Law Chris Gottlieb '97, who directs the
Family Defense Clinic. "We are trying to breathe life into
constitutional protections that are being trampled on a daily
basis."
ACS's own data shows that approximately 50 percent of child
removals occur without a court order -- a figure Gottlieb believes
is an undercount. Over 25 percent of children taken under these
circumstances are sent home immediately when the case goes before a
judge, and even more go home after extended hearings, suggesting
they never should have been removed in the first place, Gottlieb
says. Those children often spend time at ACS's Children's Center, a
temporary shelter for children awaiting court dates or foster care
placement, sometimes without medication, a change of clothes, or
any explanation of what is happening to them.
At the heart of the lawsuit is a straightforward legal argument:
barring a genuine emergency, caseworkers should be required to go
before a judge and obtain a court order before removing a child --
just as law enforcement must obtain a warrant before conducting a
search or seizure. The case also makes a race discrimination claim
against a system that admits Hispanic children into foster care at
a rate 8.4 times higher than white children and Black children at a
rate 15.6 times higher. "Rights are only rights if we're protecting
them in all communities," Gottlieb says.
The coalition bringing the suit reflects the growing recognition of
family defense as a mainstream civil rights issue. NYU Law's clinic
is joined by the CUNY Family Defense Clinic, the Family Justice Law
Center -- founded by NYU Law alumnus David Shalleck-Klein '16 --
and the Center for Constitutional Rights, whose legal director,
Baher Azmy '96, another NYU Law alumnus, also teaches a civil
rights law class at NYU Law. The Legal Aid Society will represent
the child plaintiffs.
Gottlieb, who has carried forward the family defense movement that
her predecessor, Fiorello LaGuardia Professor of Clinical Law
Emeritus Martin Guggenheim '71, nurtured at NYU Law over decades,
is hopeful that the filing will prompt near-term changes in ACS
practice -- even before the case reaches a final resolution. "I
would hope the mayor will say to his staff, 'I want to stop doing
this illegally,'" she said. The longer-term goal is to permanently
transform how the city's child welfare system interacts with
families. [GN]

NEWREZ LLC: Faces Perez Suit Over Excessive Payoff Quote Fees
-------------------------------------------------------------
NELSON PEREZ, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. NEWREZ LLC C/O PHH MORTGAGE SERVICES,
Defendant, Case No. _______ (Mass. Comm., May 13, 2026) is a class
action against the Defendant for violations of Massachusetts
General Laws and unjust enrichment.
The case arises from the Defendant's alleged unfair and deceptive
practice of charging excessive payoff quote fees to borrowers in
Massachusetts. According to the complaint, the payoff quote fees
were not disclosed in the governing loan documents, were not part
of the indebtedness secured by the mortgages, and were included
within the total amount consumers were told they were required to
pay in order to obtain a discharge of their mortgage loans. The
Defendant assessed and collected these fees directly from borrowers
during the payoff process and retained the proceeds for itself. The
Plaintiff seeks to recover these unlawful charges, to obtain
declaratory and injunctive relief, and to halt allegedly unfair and
deceptive payoff practices that have affected borrowers throughout
Massachusetts.
NewRez LLC, care of PHH Mortgage Services, is a residential
mortgage lender and servicer in Massachusetts. [BN]

NORTH AMERICAN: Court Tosses $43.5MM Overtime Class Judgement
-------------------------------------------------------------
Carleen Bongat, writing for HCA Mag, reports that misclassify your
workforce and a $43.5 million bill can follow -- but here, the
trial itself fell apart, and a California court wiped the judgment
out.
The decision, handed down May 29, 2026, closes one chapter in a
case running since April 2007 -- nineteen years. The Fifth District
Court of Appeal made no secret of its frustration, calling this
litigation even more extreme and unwieldy than the long-running
wage case it measured it against.
The fight is a familiar one for any HR leader. Roughly 700 current
and former employees of North American Title Company, now Lennar
Title, Inc., sued over overtime. One group said the company wrongly
classified them as exempt from overtime law. A second said they
were pushed to work without recording their hours.
Misclassification sits at the center. In California, some
managerial and administrative employees can be exempt from overtime
-- but only if they spend more than half their time on genuinely
exempt work. As the court explained, a worker splitting time 49-51
between managerial and regular duties doesn't make the cut.
The trial court ruled against the employer, decertified one class,
then appointed a referee to run a second trial phase without the
parties' agreement and over the company's objections. Those
proceedings stretched on for years and drew testimony from more
than 230 class members, ending in a judgment calculated at
$43,547,946 - with prejudgment interest making up more than half.
The appeals court threw it out. A forced referral on this scale, it
said, appeared to have no precedent in California law, and a
judge's power to hand a case to a referee without consent is
sharply limited. That alone required reversal.
The court also picked apart the first phase. Plaintiffs had leaned
on testimony from about 24 of some 156 Branch Managers -- roughly
15 percent -- to stand in for the whole group. The court called
that scientifically invalid, with no expert input on sample size
and no random selection.
The lesson for employers is blunt. Exempt status depends on what
people actually do, not their titles. A sprawling class with many
roles across many offices over a decade is hard to try as a single
unit, and judges must decertify when the trial plan breaks down.
The case now returns for retrial of the named plaintiffs'
individual claims, with room for a new bid at class certification.

NORTH BEAM: Intercepts Website Users' Communications, Suit Says
---------------------------------------------------------------
JOHN AVOTS-SMITH, DANIELLE KARAMANIAN-GLEBA, and NICOLE DANTZIC,
individually and on behalf of all oth similarly situated v. NORTH
BEAM, INC., Case No. 4:26-cv-05210 (N.D. Cal., June 1, 2026)
contends that Northbeam illegally captures, stores, and monetizes
the data it intercepts.
Accordingly, the information collected through Northbeam's pixel,
including page views, form inputs, click activity, purchase
details, and health information, is fed into Northbeam's
proprietary "Device Graph," which resolves the identities of
individual consumers and tracks them across the internet.
Northbeam then shares this identity-resolved data with advertising
platforms including Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, and Pinterest through
its "Northbeam Apex" product, enabling those platforms to target
advertisements to consumers based on their intercepted browsing and
purchasing activity.
The Plaintiffs are individuals whose electronic communications with
websites in Northbeam's tracking network were intercepted by
Northbeam's tracking code without their knowledge or consent.
Mr. Avots-Smith visited the telehealth website joinfridays.com.
Plaintiff Karamanian-Gleba visited the e-commerce website
jonesroadbeauty.com. Plaintiff Dantzic visited the e-commerce
website glossier.com. Each Plaintiff also visited other websites in
Northbeam's network of over 1,400 tracked domains, and Northbeam
intercepted their communications on those websites as well, linking
each interaction to the same persistent identity profile.
Northbeam was founded in 2019 and describes itself as a "marketing
intelligence platform" that provides "multi-touch attribution and

NOVUS HOME: Faces Class Action Over Illegal Telemarketing Calls
---------------------------------------------------------------
Tez Romero, writing for MPA Mag, reports that a Wisconsin bank's
mortgage cold calls have landed it in a proposed class action --
and the man leading it says he never handed over his number.
Asher Bronstin sued Ixonia Bank, which operates as Novus Home
Mortgage, on May 30, 2026, in federal court for the Eastern
District of Wisconsin. The suit accuses the lender of violating the
Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the 1991 federal law that
polices telemarketing. According to the filing, the bank called
Bronstin to pitch a mortgage even though his number had been on the
National Do Not Call Registry since November 4, 2021, and he had
never agreed to hear from the company.
The sequence, as the lawsuit lays it out, is short and pointed.
Between October and December 2024, Bronstin received at least four
calls from one number. He missed three -- on October 29, October
30, and December 9, 2024 -- and answered the fourth on December 10.
The filing says the agent told him she was selling a mortgage and
was looking for a "Wayne Howard," not Bronstin. She passed him to a
second Novus Home Mortgage agent, who tried to sell him a mortgage.
Follow--up emails from that agent, the suit says, confirmed the
bank had been the caller. Bronstin says he never did business with
the lender and never knowingly gave it his number.
There is a second claim worth a careful read. The lawsuit alleges
the calls did not pass along the caller's name through caller ID,
which the TCPA requires. Bronstin's lawyer checked the calling
carrier's records, the filing says, and the caller name field
returned "COLLEGE PARK MD" rather than the bank's name. The law,
according to the suit, requires a telemarketer's calls to carry a
name the recipient can use to identify the caller and ask to be
left alone.
Bronstin wants to stand in for two nationwide groups: people who
got more than one telemarketing call from or on behalf of the bank
while their numbers sat on the registry, and people whose calls
failed to transmit proper caller ID. He puts the size of those
groups in the hundreds, at minimum.
Then there is the price tag. The TCPA sets statutory damages of up
to $500 a call, rising to as much as $1,500 a call where a court
finds the conduct willful or knowing. The filing calls the bank's
violations "negligent, willful, or knowing," asks the court to
triple the damages, seeks an order halting the calls, and requests
attorneys' fees.
For anyone running an outbound mortgage campaign, the lesson is
direct. One misdirected dialing effort -- even a wrong-number call
-- can grow into a class action when the targets were on the Do Not
Call list and the caller ID was wrong. Scrubbing lists against the
registry and making sure your outbound name actually shows up are
not housekeeping. They are what keeps a marketing push from turning
into a courtroom.
None of this has been tested in court. Ixonia Bank has not yet
responded, and no judge has ruled on the claims. [GN]

unnamed third-party vendor had experienced a data breach involving
unauthorized access to the sensitive information of certain
Orrstown customers. Orrstown's own systems were not compromised in
the incident.
Orrstown has not yet specified which information may have been
involved in the Orrstown Bank data breach, but the SEC notice
states that impacted customers will be notified.
What You Can Do After the Orrstown Bank Data Breach
If your information was exposed in the Orrstown Bank data breach,
attorneys want to hear from you. You may be able to start a class
action lawsuit to recover compensation for loss of privacy, time
spent dealing with the breach, out-of-pocket costs, and more.
A successful case could also force Orrstown Bank to ensure they

An attorney or legal representative may then reach out to you to
explain more about this investigation and ask you a few questions.
Remember, there is no cost to get in touch, and you are under no

PARADISE MEMORIAL: Jewish Arizonans Sue Suit Over New Safety Policy
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Joe Duhownik of Courthouse News Service reports that Jewish
Arizonans sued a cemetery over a new safety policy that prevents
families from burying their loved ones according to Jewish law and
customs.
Paradise Memorial Gardens, a Scottsdale cemetery with a section
dedicated to Jewish burials, stopped lowering caskets in the
presence of mourners after raising safety concerns about uneven
ground near gravesites. Because Jewish tradition calls for mourners
to witness the casket being lowered and help cover it with soil,
the policy forces families to choose between burial alongside
relatives and following their religious beliefs.
Three Jewish residents who purchased plots for their own burials
filed a class action Friday, May 29, accusing the cemetery of
consumer fraud and breach of contract by selling the plots with the
implied understanding they would receive traditional Jewish
burials.
Plaintiffs Janet Blinder, Lisa Singer and Gerald Levy each bought
plots at Paradise Memorial Gardens more than a decade ago. They say
they learned of the policy, adopted in February 2025, only after
another Jewish family was denied a traditional burial for two
daughters.
Cindy Carpenter purchased five burial plots for $50,000 after her
daughter Chelsie died of cancer in November 2025, unaware the
policy had changed. At Chelsie’s funeral, mourners were allowed
to watch the casket being lowered, but only from behind a rope
about 20 feet away.
When her other daughter, Cortney, died in January, the family was
required to sign a graveside services contract that included a
handwritten note stating the casket would not be lowered until the
family had completely left the cemetery grounds.
Alongside her signature, Cindy Carpenter wrote: “I object to this
awful policy.” Her husband Jim wrote: “I acknowledge your
policy and strongly object to the policy.”
Carpenter asked to watch the lowering from inside a building, but
was denied, according to the class action.
The plaintiffs also claim that the policy has been discriminatorily
enforced against Jewish mourners.
“Specifically, since the policy change was implemented,
non-Jewish individuals have continued to have funeral attendees
present graveside as the casket is lowered into the ground during
burial services. Jewish individuals, however, are prohibited from
doing so.”
Since the Carpenter funerals, the plaintiffs say they have spent
time and money seeking religious and legal advice on how to address
the policy change. The cemetery offered refunds worth only 7% of
the original purchase price. Blinder says she asked Paradise
Memorial Gardens to allow her husband’s remains to be moved to a
nearby cemetery so she could eventually be buried beside him in
accordance with Jewish tradition, but the request was denied.
The plaintiffs seek to represent anyone who purchased a plot before
Feb. 14, 2025, and who, for religious reasons, intends for mourners
to remain present while a casket is lowered during a funeral
service.
Each plot agreement signed to consummate a sale states: “No other
terms or conditions, and no amendments shall bind either party
unless the same are reduced to writing and signed by the purchaser
and seller.” By enacting the policy change without consulting
plot owners, the plaintiffs say the cemetery violated the plain
language of those agreements.
In 1989, Ahavat Torah Congregation, a conservative Jewish
Synagogue, established a section within the cemetery dedicated to
Jewish burials that follows traditional conservative Jewish burial
customs.
The plaintiffs say that by creating a dedicated Jewish section, the
cemetery represented to consumers that it would accommodate and
respect Jewish funeral practices.
Moreover, Arizona Administrative Code sections R4-12-301 and
R4-12-302 require funeral service providers to “abstain from
conduct that could disrupt funeral services or cause injury to the
decedent’s family; and make reasonable efforts to cooperate with
religious customs of the decedent’s family.”
The plaintiffs bring actions under the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act,
breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith.
They ask a state judge to declare the policy illegal and order the
cemetery to revoke it. They also request damages for the time and
money they’ve spent on legal and religious counsel.
Paradise Memorial Gardens did not respond to a request for comment.

secretly intercept and disclose Plaintiff's and Class Members'
confidential health information to third parties. In doing so, the
Defendants undermine the importance of safeguarding the identities
and personal medical information of individuals seeking physical
therapy. Moreover, it breaches the trust of their own patients and
Defendants' conduct violates state and federal law, says the suit.

RB HEALTH: Faces False Advertising Suit Over Airborne Products
--------------------------------------------------------------
Top Class Actions reports that plaintiff Yalinda Robinson filed a
class action lawsuit against RB Health (US) LLC.
Why: Robinson alleges the company misleads consumers about the
vitamin C dosage in its Airborne products.
Where: The Airborne class action lawsuit was filed in California
federal court.
A new class action lawsuit alleges RB Health misleads consumers
about the vitamin C dosage in its Airborne products.
Plaintiff Yalinda Robinson filed the class action complaint against
RB Health on May 2 in California federal court, alleging violations
of state and federal consumer laws.
According to the class action lawsuit, RB Health falsely advertises
the dosage of vitamin C in its Airborne Immune Support Gummies and
other supplements, leading consumers to believe they are getting
more of the nutrient than they actually are.
The lawsuit alleges that the front labels of Airborne products
prominently display a certain dosage amount of vitamin C, such as
“VITAMIN C 1,000 MG,” leading consumers to believe that each
chewable tablet, gummy or effervescent tablet contains the
advertised dosage amount.
However, the Airborne class action lawsuit claims that each
chewable tablet, gummy or effervescent tablet contains only a
fraction of the advertised dosage, and consumers must ingest two or
more tablets to achieve the advertised dosage.
RB Health charges premium for products with less vitamin C, class
action alleges
Robinson alleges that as a result of the deceptive labeling,
consumers overpay for the products, receiving only a fraction of
the advertised value while paying the full purchase price.
The plaintiff says she read and relied upon RB Health's advertising
when purchasing one or more of the Airborne products and was
damaged as a result.
The Airborne class action lawsuit seeks to represent a class of
California consumers who purchased Airborne products with
misleading dosage representations.
The lawsuit alleges violations of California's Consumers Legal
Remedies Act, Unfair Competition Law and False Advertising Law.
Robinson is demanding a jury trial and is seeking an order
compelling RB Health to cease marketing the products using
misleading tactics, destroy all misleading materials, conduct a
corrective advertising campaign, restore the amounts by which it
has been unjustly enriched and pay restitution and punitive
damages.
Earlier this year, Unilever faced a class action lawsuit alleging
it falsely advertises its SmartyPants children's vitamins as
containing the same fiber content as certain fruits and vegetables.
The plaintiff is represented by Levi M. Plesset of the Law Office
of Levi M. Plesset and David A. Baldwin of the Law Office of David
Baldwin.
The Airborne class action lawsuit is Robinson v. RB Health (US)
LLC, Case No. 2:26-cv-04765, in the U.S. District Court for the
Central District of California. [GN]
REDFIN CORP: Faces Class Action Suit Over Sharing User's Data
-------------------------------------------------------------
Top Class Actions reports that plaintiff Biljana Gallardo filed a
class action lawsuit against Redfin Corp.
Why: Gallardo alleges Redfin secretly shared users' video-viewing
history and mortgage application data with Meta and TikTok.
Where: The Redfin class action was filed in California federal
court.
A new class action lawsuit accuses Redfin Corp. of secretly
transmitting users' private video-viewing activity and sensitive
financial information to Meta and TikTok without their consent.
Plaintiff Biljana Gallardo claims Redfin embedded invisible
tracking code on its website to intercept and redirect this data to
the social media companies.
"Unbeknownst to the plaintiff and the millions of consumers who use
the website, Redfin has embedded invisible tracking code known as
the 'Meta Pixel' and the 'TikTok Pixel' on the website," the Redfin
class action lawsuit alleges.
The complaint alleges that each time a user clicks the "Video"
button on a property listing, the Meta pixel transmits a tracking
event to Facebook containing the user's unencrypted Facebook ID,
the property listing URL and a hashed phone number.
The TikTok pixel simultaneously sends a separate event to TikTok
containing the property URL, along with hashed versions of the
user's phone number and email address.
Gallardo argues Redfin acted knowingly because it deliberately
installed both pixels, activated "Advanced Matching" -- a feature
that scans form fields for personal data -- and entered into
commercial relationships with Meta and TikTok built on these very
disclosures.
She contends neither she nor any class member was ever presented a
standalone consent form authorizing Redfin to share their
video-viewing history or survey responses with any third party.
Redfin class action: pixels let anyone identify users by name from
home-search data
The class action lawsuit further alleges that users' unencrypted
Facebook IDs were transmitted as part of every video-viewing event.
Unlike hashed identifiers, an unencrypted Facebook ID allows any
ordinary person -- not just Meta -- to identify a Redfin user by
name simply by entering the value into a web browser, according to
the complaint.
The lawsuit also claims Redfin's mortgage pre-qualification survey
transmitted users' credit score ranges, home purchase timelines and
property preferences to both platforms in real time -- data
Congress has specifically classified as "nonpublic personal
information" under federal privacy law.
The Redfin class action lawsuit contends this enabled Meta and
TikTok to target Redfin's own consumers with advertising based on
their home-search activity and financial profiles.
The plaintiff demands a jury trial and requests declaratory and
injunctive relief and an award of statutory and punitive damages
for herself and all class members.
In other concerns about data privacy, footwear and clothing company
Zappos is accused of secretly allowing Meta to eavesdrop on
customers' online shopping activity using embedded tracking
technologies.
Gallardo is represented by Stefan Bogdanovich of Bursor & Fisher
P.A.
The Redfin class action lawsuit is Gallardo v. Redfin Corporation,
Case No. 8:26-cv-00983, in the U.S. District Court for the Central
District of California, Southern Division. [GN]

Contrary to Momcozy's marketing of the KleanPal Pro as safe and

SENTINEL ONE: Faces Class and Derivative Actions
------------------------------------------------
SentinelOne, Inc. disclosed in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q,
for the period ending April 30, 2026, dated and delivered to the
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 28, 2026, that is facing
litigations about its disclosures with the SEC.
On June 6, 2023, a securities class action was filed against the
company, its Chief Executive Officer, and its former Chief
Financial Officer in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California, captioned "Johansson v.
SentinelOne, Inc.," Case No. 4:23-cv-02786. The suit is brought on
behalf of an alleged class of stockholders who purchased or
acquired shares of the company's Class A common stock between June
1, 2022 and June 1, 2023. The complaint alleged that defendants
made false or misleading statements about the company's business,
operations and prospects, including its annual recurring revenues
and internal controls. The complaint purports to assert claims
under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.
A substantially similar suit was filed on June 16, 2023, in the
same court against the same defendants, asserting the same claims.
This later-filed action is captioned "Nyren v. SentinelOne, Inc.,"
Case No. [number not provided in the disclosure].
In addition, on March 21, 2024, a putative shareholder derivative
action was filed in the Northern District of California,
purportedly on behalf of the company, against certain of its
current and former officers and directors. It alleges breaches of
fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, and
violations of Sections 10(b), 14(a), and 20(a) of the Exchange Act,
based on substantially similar facts and circumstances as those
alleged in the pending securities class actions. The lawsuit seeks,
among other relief, damages purportedly sustained by the Company,
corporate governance reforms, and an award of attorneys' fees and
expenses to the plaintiffs' counsel.
SentinelOne, Inc. is a cybersecurity company that provides
artificial intelligence-driven endpoint, cloud, and identity
protection solutions to enterprises worldwide. The company is
headquartered in Mountain View, California.
SIG SAUER: Faces Altman Suit Over Defective P320 Pistol
-------------------------------------------------------
SEAN ALTMAN and CHRISTIAN RODRIGUEZ, individually, and on behalf of
all others similarly situated, Plaintiffs v. SIG SAUER, INC.,
Defendant, Case No. 3:26-cv-03862-MCR-ZCB (N.D. Fla., May 20, 2026)
alleges violation of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade
Practices Act.
The Plaintiffs allege in the complaint that the Defendant designed
the P320 without any external (i.e., manually operated) safety
features, even though the pistol is effectively cocked (i.e., ready
to fire) the moment a round is chambered.
This is particularly galling because the P320 also has among the
lightest and shortest trigger pulls of any comparable pistol on the
market. The practical effect is that when consumers carry a loaded
P320, it is akin to the consumer taking a loaded revolver, pulling
the hammer back, and then walking around with that cocked pistol in
the holster -- all without any external safety features. As set
forth herein, the combination of these features constitutes the
Defect that uniformly exists in every P320, says the suit.
Sig Sauer, Inc. designs and manufactures firearms for military, law
enforcement, and commercial markets. The Company offers pistols,
rifles, short barrel rifles, and firearms accessories. [BN]

SIVERS SEMICONDUCTORS: Rosen Law Probes Potential Securities Claims
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces
an investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of
shareholders of Sivers Semiconductors AB (OTC: SIVEF) resulting
from allegations that Sivers Semiconductors may have issued
materially misleading business information to the investing
public.
So What: If you purchased Sivers Semiconductors securities you may
be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket
fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law
Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor
losses.
What to do next: To join the prospective class action, go to
https://rosenlegal.com/cases/sivers-semiconductors-ab/join or call
Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email
case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
What is this about: On June 1, 2026, Ningi Research published a
report entitled "Sivers Semiconductors (SIVE.ST): Dubious Revenue
Accounting, Hollow Customer Contracts, and Broken Promises of an
Imminent Volume Ramp-up Since 2018." The report stated that Ningi
had taken a short position in Sivers securities because the company
is, in Ningi Research's opinion, "a retail-driven pump built on
speculative hyperscaler relationships, a fabricated bottleneck
narrative, a rumored volume ramp-up, a delayed US listing, and a
vague “opportunity pipeline” has driven a 1,800%+ YTD rally."
On this news, Sivers' OTC-listed securities fell 9.2% on June 1,
2026.
Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel
with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms
issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or
any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not
actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting
counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the
globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and
shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at
that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement
against a Chinese Company. At the time Rosen Law Firm was Ranked
No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of
securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been
ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds
of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm
secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner
Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar.
Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and
Super Lawyers.

SNOWFLAKE INC: Smith Sues Over Drop in Share Price
--------------------------------------------------
SAMANTHA SMITH, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. SNOWFLAKE, INC.; FRANK SLOOTMAN; and MICHAEL
P. SCARPELLI, Defendants, Case No. 3:26-cv-04869 (N.D. Cal., May
22, 2026) alleges violation of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
The Plaintiff alleges in the complaint that during the Class
Period, instead of frankly disclosing customers' unpreparedness
when it raised the issue of customer security, Snowflake
misleadingly downplayed the matter by simply stating the customer
was (in its view) solely responsible for access security. Snowflake
did not reveal that major customers were unable to handle that
responsibility, or that Snowflake's systems actually impeded the
adoption by customers of certain key security measures.
By June 10, 2024, Snowflake stock had fallen to $126.76 on high
trading volume, with breach-related disclosures largely responsible
for driving the price down as revelations jolted the market little
by little, eroding the stock price from its initial value of
$154.58 on May 23, 2024, says the suit.

database architecture, data warehouses, query optimization, and

TESLA INC: Faces False Advertising Class Action Lawsuit in China
----------------------------------------------------------------
AASTOCKS reports that A class action lawsuit targeting the Full
Self-Driving (FSD) function of Tesla, Inc. (TSLA.US) has been heard
in the first instance at the Daxing District Peoples' Court in
Beijing, Chinese media reported.
Ten Chinese vehicle owners have filed a lawsuit against Tesla,
alleging false advertising and consumer fraud, seeking compensation
of more than RMB3.95 million.
According to the plaintiffs' legal representative, Tesla was aware
that the promoted FSD function had not obtained approval from

TEVA PHARMACEUTICALS: Settles Antitrust Class Suit for $35-Mil.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Top Class Actions reports that Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.
has agreed to pay $35 million to resolve claims it engaged in
antitrust behavior to keep its QVAR asthma medications from facing
generic competition.
The QVAR class action settlement benefits consumers and entities
who purchased or reimbursed some or all of the purchase price for
QVAR or QVAR Redihaler products between Jan. 1, 2015, and July 31,
2025.

QVAR and QVAR Redihaler are brand-name asthma medications
manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals. The medication is a
corticosteroid that helps prevent asthma attacks.
The class action lawsuit resolved by this settlement claimed Teva
Pharmaceuticals violated antitrust laws by preventing generic
versions of QVAR from being sold to consumers. The company
allegedly took several steps to keep its medication from facing
generic competition, including product hops, sham litigation,
improper patent listings and reverse payments.
As a result of these alleged actions, consumers claim they paid a
higher price for QVAR products, such as Redihaler, than they would
have in a competitive market.
Teva has not admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $35 million
class action settlement to resolve these allegations.
Under the terms of the QVAR settlement, class members can receive a
cash payment based on the amount they paid for QVAR products.
Class members who have proof of purchase for QVAR products can
receive a larger share of the net settlement fund. Class members
without proof of purchase will receive a smaller share of the net
settlement fund.

TOYOTA MOTORS: Faces Class Suit Over 8-Speed Automatic Failures
---------------------------------------------------------------
Denis Flierl, writing for Torque News, reports that the baseline
promise of automotive quality relies on statistical predictability,
yet real-world mechanical telemetry continues to break factory
failure models. In our ongoing coverage of Toyota reliability,
Torque News Senior Reporter Denis Flierl has uncovered an
unresolved dispute over the structural integrity of the powertrain
in the automaker's latest midsize truck. Specifically, the
redesigned fourth-generation Toyota Tacoma is facing intense
scrutiny as premature failures of its 8-speed automatic
transmission trigger widespread owner outrage, dealer diagnostic
gridlock, and escalating legal action.
What was supposed to be a triumph of downsized, high-efficiency
engineering is rapidly devolving into a systemic hardware crisis.
Across North America, owners of brand-new 2024 through 2026 Tacomas
report their trucks suddenly dropping into "Limp Mode" at highway
speeds, leaving them stranded without propulsion.
According to legal data compiled by automotive consumer advocates
at The Lemon Law Experts, "The 2025 Toyota Tacoma's recurring
problems, particularly with transmission, driveline, and critical
safety systems," are mounting rapidly as federal oversight portals
register unprecedented spikes in severe, low-mileage powertrain
defects.
From Financial Illusion to Mechanical Nightmare
This burgeoning reliability crisis directly fuels an aggressive,
orchestrated push inside dealership showrooms. In our ongoing
coverage of Toyota reliability, Torque News Senior Reporter Denis
Flierl has uncovered an unresolved dispute over how dealerships are
exploiting high 3rd-Gen resale metrics to mask emerging 4th-Gen
engineering vulnerabilities.
As outlined in our foundational investigation, "Why Trading a 2023
Toyota Tacoma for a $279/Month 2026 SR5 Lease is a Financial Trap,"
aggressive marketing campaigns are tempting owners with ultra-low
monthly payments. However, this shiny $279 offer functions as a
structural trap designed to strip owners of their equity while
binding them to an unproven, turbocharged four-cylinder powertrain
married to a volatile transmission control system.
The leverage point for dealerships rests entirely on the
bulletproof reputation of the previous generation. Dealerships are
highly aware that the market is starved for traditional, naturally
aspirated engineering. As detailed in our secondary coverage
stream, "Toyota Dealers Are Begging for Your 2023 V6 Tacoma -- Here
Is the 3-Step Strategy to Flawlessly Flip Their 'Trap' Into a
$5,000 Windfall," sales managers are aggressively pursuing clean,
low-mileage 3rd-Gen trade-ins because their residual values remain
at an unprecedented high.
Consumers who fall for the dealer's pitch aren't just losing
thousands in real-world equity; they are unwittingly transferring
their financial security from an analog, rock-solid platform
straight into the crosshairs of a major manufacturing defect.
The "Take-Dump" Fluid Dynamics: Why New Gearboxes Are Slipping
At the heart of this investigative stream is a severe mechanical
and hydraulic vulnerability. While modern automatic transmissions
utilize adaptive learning algorithms to adjust internal line
pressures over time, proprietary Torque News tracking of
manufacturing defects indicates that early 4th-Gen models are
frequently experiencing clear mechanical irregularities. These
symptoms present as severe 1st- to 3rd-gear jerking, sudden RPM
"hunting" between 2,000 and 4,000 RPM, or an alarming sensation of
a slipping torque converter during cold drive cycles.
Torque News technical analysis by Denis Flierl identifies a
critical gap between factory maintenance schedules and real-world
component longevity. Forensic teardowns from independent service
bays reveal that a flawed transmission control solenoid design is
causing catastrophic gear slippage within the first 10,000 miles.
When these micro-solenoids fail to maintain precise hydraulic
pressure, the internal clutch packs fail to lock securely. This
results in severe friction, exponential thermal spikes, and an
accumulation of non-ferrous clutch debris that rapidly contaminates
the fluid channel.
The consequences are immediate. Industry analysts tracking these
premature failures have noted a pattern in which electronic control
modules detect the hydraulic pressure loss, triggering an
instantaneous hard fault code. According to ongoing research
published by independent automotive data providers at Lemberg Law,
"Owners most often reported harsh transmission shifting, front axle
or drive shaft failures, unstable steering and suspension
concerns," underscoring that the mechanical infrastructure is
struggling to manage the high-torque output of the new i-FORCE
turbocharged powerplants.
Parallels to the Tundra Crisis
This transmission bottleneck is part of a broader, multi-platform
durability paradox currently affecting Toyota's truck lineup. A
critical gap identified in Torque News technical analysis by Denis
Flierl explains the subsequent loss of advanced multi-speed
automatic gearboxes when paired with high-output forced induction:
when a powertrain architecture undergoes sudden, high-stress
fluctuations under load, the drivetrain's kinetic energy forces the
torque converter lockup clutch and planetary gear sets to absorb
massive shock loads.
As documented in a separate long-term powertrain assessment by
Denis Flierl, 22,000 Miles, 2 Engines, 1 Transmission: Why a 2024
Toyota Tundra Owner Still Praises the Tundra and Twin-Turbo V6,
early-release full-size truck platforms are suffering from
compound, recurring powertrain degradation. In that specific
independent field analysis, an owner experienced a complete
transmission swap alongside multiple engine replacements before the
vehicle reached mid-life mileage thresholds. This multi-layered
component collapse proves that factory containment windows have
systematically underestimated real-world stress loads.
Furthermore, as outlined in a concurrent investigative report, The
2026 Toyota Tundra V6 Engine Crisis: Understanding the Debris
Threat and Your Practical Blueprint for Survival, "According to
ongoing Torque News by Denis Flierl tracking of manufacturing
defects, Toyota's systemic engine contamination issue has
officially breached the 2026 model year." This shared vulnerability
demonstrates that the tight tolerances required by modern
electronic controls leave zero margin for component variances or
fluid contamination.
Regional Terrains and the Colorado Multiplier
This mechanical risk scales exponentially under demanding
geographic conditions. As a third-generation Colorado native
reporting from Parker, Colorado, I regularly utilize the Rocky
Mountains' high-altitude terrain as a rigorous, real-world testing
ground. Climbing steep mountain passes like the Eisenhower Tunnel
or tackling high-altitude off-road trails places an immense thermal
burden on a vehicle's cooling and hydraulic systems.
On a technical, steep descent where precision is everything, a
transmission control module that locks an owner out of manual gear
selection forces a hazardous choice. Drivers are stuck with a
computer that hunts for the right gear, generating massive
friction-based heat. When a truck is operated at high-range ratios
under heavy loads in these thin-air environments, the internal
fluid easily exceeds its safe operating zone of 200°F. This
thermal saturation accelerates solenoid degradation, rendering the
8-speed unit highly vulnerable to catastrophic pressure failure on
regional highways.
The Blueprint: Navigating Factory "Diagnostic Limbo"
For owners currently facing harsh shifting, gear slippage, or
complete loss of highway power, escaping the dealership "diagnostic
limbo" requires a calculated, aggressive strategy. Because many
service centers initially dismiss these symptoms as normal
"adaptive learning behavior," consumers must establish an
unassailable paper trail.
1. Document and Log Technical Telemetry
Immediate: At the first sign of harsh shifting, gear hunting, or
slippage, log the exact mileage, ambient temperature, and driving
conditions. If the truck enters "Limp Mode," safely pull over and
record video of the dashboard warning cluster.
2. Demand a Comprehensive OBD-II Diagnostic Scan
At Dealership: Do not accept a simple software reset. Insist that
the service technician perform a full electronic diagnostic scan to
check for stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to
hydraulic line pressure or solenoid circuit faults. Demand a
printed copy of the master tech data stream.
3. Request a Forensic Transmission Fluid Analysis
Before Repair: Instruct the service drive to pull a fluid sample.
The presence of non-ferrous metallic flakes or a distinct burnt
odor is conclusive evidence of internal clutch delamination and
hardware failure, legally invalidating any claims that the issue is
merely a software glitch.
4. Enforce Powertrain Warranty and File Oversight Reports
Final Step: If hardware failure is verified, demand a full,
manufacturer-funded gearbox replacement under the
5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Simultaneously, log your
vehicle's failure with the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) to ensure your data is integrated into the
ongoing nationwide class action matrix.
Consumer Warning: Continuing to operate a vehicle once the
transmission control module has initiated a hard hydraulic fault
can cause severe downstream mechanical damage to the transfer case
and driveshafts, complicating your warranty claim or potential
lemon law buyback.
This nationwide class action push underscores a fundamental truth:
a truck's marketing campaign can never replace field-verified
mechanical longevity. As a dedicated consumer watchdog, Torque News
will continue to track this escalating 4th-Gen transmission crisis
from the front lines of the service bays.
What Would You Do?
Have you experienced severe gear hunting, harsh shifting, or an
alarming highway "Limp Mode" event in your new 4th-Generation
Tacoma? Are local dealerships honoring your warranty, or are they
hiding behind the "adaptive learning" excuse? [GN]

agreed to a nearly $3 million settlement to wrap up a class action
lawsuit that alleged the mattress retailer misleadingly advertised
on its website fake "limited time" sales based on purported regular
prices at which the mattresses and bedding products were never
actually sold.
The $2,995,297.48 Tuft & Needle class action settlement received
preliminary approval from the court on April 16, 2026. The
agreement covers all individuals who purchased one or more
mattresses advertised at a discount on Tuft & Needle's website
while in California at any time from January 1, 2020 to December
31, 2024.
Per court documents, settlement class members purchased
approximately 40,147 Tuft & Needle mattresses advertised at a
discount during the relevant time period.
The court-approved website for the Tuft & Needle class action
settlement can be found at TNPriceSettlement.com.
Tuft & Needle settlement class members who submit a timely, valid
claim form can receive a cash payment or website credit in an
amount equal to 45 percent of the discount that Tuft & Needle
represented that they would receive on each mattress purchased from
TuftandNeedle.com from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2024.
The average cash payout or site credit for each class member will
be roughly $75 per mattress purchase. Tuft & Needle website credits
can be valid for three years after issuance and can be used at any
time toward any purchase, with no restrictions.
To submit a Tuft & Needle claim form online, class members can head
to this page and enter the notice ID and PIN found on their copy of
the settlement notice. Alternatively, class members can download a
PDF claim form to print, fill out and return by mail to the
settlement administrator.
All Tuft & Needle claim forms must be submitted online or
postmarked no later than July 14, 2026.
Class members who do not submit a claim form will automatically
receive a website credit good for a purchase on TuftandNeedle.com
in an amount equal to 45 percent of the promised discount from Tuft
& Needle for a mattress purchased during the relevant time period.
The court will determine whether to grant the Tuft & Needle
settlement final approval following a hearing on July 10, 2026.
Compensation will begin to be distributed to class members only
after final approval has been granted and any appeals have been
resolved.
The Tuft & Needle class action lawsuit alleged that the
Arizona-based mattress company misleadingly advertised various
discounts and "limited time" sales on mattress products on its
website, in violation of California consumer protection law. [GN]

UNITED HOMES: Faces Class Suit Over Securities Law Violations
-------------------------------------------------------------
Pomerantz LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed
against United Homes Group, Inc. ("United Homes" or the "Company")
(NASDAQ:UHG).
The class action concerns whether United Homes and certain of its
officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other
unlawful business practices.
You have until June 9, 2026, to ask the Court to appoint you as
Lead Plaintiff for the class if you purchased or otherwise acquired
United Homes securities during the Class Period. A copy of the
Complaint can be obtained at www.pomerantzlaw.com.
On May 19, 2025, United Homes announced that its Board of Directors
(the "Board") had "appointed a special committee comprised solely
of independent directors and initiated a review of strategic
alternatives in order to explore ways to maximize shareholder
value" including "a sale of the Company, a sale of assets, and a
refinancing of existing indebtedness, among others."
Then, on October 20, 2025, United Homes announced that its Special
Committee "unanimously" concluded that "continuing to execute on
the Company's strategic plan as an independent, public company is
in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders at this
time," and that the entire Board of Directors, except for United
Homes Founder Michael Nieri, had resigned after Nieri did not agree
to "fully empower" management to execute strategic plan, to resign
as Executive Chairman, and to "forego any remaining cash
compensation to which he would be entitled under his existing
employment agreement".
On this news, United Homes' stock price fell $2.23 per share, or
52.46%, to close at $2.03 per share on October 20, 2025.
Then, on November 6, 2025, United Homes announced its financial
results for the third fiscal quarter of 2025, disclosing
discussions with various stakeholders concerning "the pressing need
to identify replacement directors" and announcing quarterly revenue
of $90.8 million, a decrease of 23% year over year.
On this news, United Homes' stock price fell $0.11 per share, or
7.6%, to close at $1.34 per share on November 6, 2025.
Then, on February 23, 2026, United Homes announced it agreed to be
acquired by Stanley Martin Homes in an all-cash transaction of
approximately $221 million, or $1.18 per share, which represented
an over 50% discount on the last closing price preceding the
announcement.
On this news, United Homes' stock price fell $1.23 per share, or
51.68%, to close at $1.15 per share on February 23, 2026.

UNITED STATES: Judge to Review $1.8BB Anti-Weaponization Fund
-------------------------------------------------------------
Bobby Allyn, writing for OPB, reports that a federal judge will
review the Trump administration's $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization
fund" after a group of former federal judges questioned its
legitimacy.
The fund was established following Trump's lawsuit against the
Internal Revenue Service over the leak of his tax returns. Instead
of going to trial, Trump administration lawyers and the president's
personal legal team settled by agreeing to stand up the
taxpayer-supported fund.
U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams in Florida on Friday, May 29,
ordered Trump's lawyers to respond to the motion filed by 35 former
federal judges who argued that Trump is in a sense both the
plaintiff and the defendant in the case, having filed it as
president and also the leader of the executive branch overseeing
the IRS. Thus, the judges wrote, the lawsuit "is itself a fraud on
the court."
The former judges, appointed by both Democrat and Republican
presidents, wrote that the lawsuit was used as a justification for
the "looting" of American taxpayers. They described the case as a
type of "collusion" between the president's lawyers and the federal
government and asked the judge to re-open the case to determine the
settlement only after the court was "deceived."
Williams, appointed by former President Barack Obama, had initially
granted a dismissal of Trump's lawsuit following the settlement,
but, in light of the former judges' motion, she said the court is
"empowered to investigate serious misconduct."
It follows another judge in Virginia temporarily freezing the fund,
which Trump officials have described as an effort to compensate
Trump allies, Jan. 6 rioters and others the president says have
been unjustly targeted.
That judge, U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema in Virginia,
ordered on Friday, May 29, that Trump officials stop setting up the
pool of money to "ensure that no funds are irreversibly
disbursed."
Brinkema, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, set a June
12 hearing for arguments over whether the order should be
extended.
A Justice Department spokesperson did not respond to an NPR request
for comment on Saturday, May 30. Justice Department officials said
on social media, "We will do everything in our power to make whole
those who were persecuted for political purposes."
Legal expert: Fund 'doesn't address real legal injuries'
Taken together, the orders are an early legal setback for the fund,
which has caused divisions within the Capitol Hill, with critics
describing it as a slush fund for Trump supporters who claim they
were the victims of political persecution.
Brinkema's order pausing it was the result of a lawsuit brought by
former Justice Department lawyer Andrew Floyd and other plaintiffs,
who argued that the nearly $2 billion was never approved by
Congress and "rewards and incentivizes unlawful behavior and
facilitates an astounding abuse of taxpayer funds."
Legal experts have expressed particular alarm over the fund's lack
of oversight, in addition to the bucket of money having no
connection to the claims Trump alleged in his lawsuit against the
IRS.
Adam Zimmerman, a law professor at the University of Southern
California, told NPR that past examples of mass compensation funds
directed by the president, whether related to the Holocaust or the
BP oil spill, resolved sprawling class-action lawsuits, which is
not the case here.
"All those cases involved identifiable injuries, to discrete groups
of people, for violations of real laws, under neutrally applicable
rules, often brokered in the shadow of a class action litigation or
mass litigation," Zimmerman said.
This fund, however, "doesn't address real legal injuries."
"It offers money to an indeterminate group of people, who never
threatened or commenced any kind of legal action," he said,
describing it as "unlike anything we've seen in the history of the
republic." [GN]
UNITED STATES: Transgender Patients Sue Over Sharing Patient Info
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Isabella Gallo of AMNY reports that transgender patients and their
families are suing NYU Langone Hospital and the U.S. Department of
Justice to halt a federal subpoena filed last month demanding
patient records from all minors the health system has provided
gender affirming care to since 2020 be turned over to the Trump
administration.
The suit demands Manhattan's federal court block the hospital from
turning over the records, which would include the names of trans
minors, their doctors and the medical care they received, arguing
the subpoena violates patients' civil rights, state law prohibiting
breaches of physician-patient privilege and is a "gross overreach
of governmental power, founded on an improper purpose to 'end'
gender-affirming medical care and cast transgender persons into the
shadows."
"The Subpoenas at issue here were not issued for a proper purpose,
but, as part of the Administration's systematic campaign to exclude
transgender people from public life and to 'end' the
gender-affirming medical care that enables many transgender people
to live authentically as themselves," says the suit, filed jointly
by the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) and Lambda Legal.
NYCLU and Lambda Legal allege the DOJ is insidiously using a
subpoena filed from the Northern District of Texas to obtain trans
patients' records after federal district courts across the country
have limited the DOJ's ability to obtain such information via civil
subpoenas, ruling they were issued for an improper purpose or
violated the rights of the patients whose information they sought.
"Faced with this wall of resistance to its discriminatory and
improper aims, DOJ has now shifted tactics, purportedly moving the
locus of its 'investigation' to the Northern District of Texas and
relying on grand jury subpoenas to obtain the same information it
was prohibited from obtaining through other means by multiple
courts," the suit says.
Trans advocates say question DOJ motives for record pursuit
The advocacy groups say the Trump administration is simply using
the May subpoena to carry out its political fight against gender
affirming care, which it has made abundantly clear via public
statements.
"DOJ's aims are not to impartially enforce the law -- no federal
law prohibits the provision of gender-affirming medical care to
minors, which the U.S. Supreme Court has determined is for the
states to regulate -- but rather to effectuate the Administration's
policy priorities to 'end' the gender-affirming medical care, even
if coercion is necessary," the suit says.
The DOJ and NYU Langone did not respond to requests for comment on
the suit or whether patient records had been turned over yet. The
subpoena, filed May 6, gave the health system 30 days to inform
patients before it would be legally required to send the records, a
deadline that was only days away.
New York Attorney General Letitia James declined to comment on the
suit. When the subpoena was filed last month, she said after being
asked for comment that the state had "strong protections in place
to protect the privacy of patient records" and that "every health
care institution in New York should seek to protect both patients
and providers."
Gender affirming care has a regret rate of less than 1%, lower than
nearly all elective procedures, and has been shown to decrease the
chances of trans youth committing suicide by 73%. Gender affirming
care for trans youth requires parental consent and involves a
significant amount of consultation, assessment and therapy before
healthcare professionals begin prescribing procedures or hormone
treatments.
Gender affirming care for trans youth typically involves drugs
known as puberty blockers, which stop a person from going through
the puberty associated with their birth-assigned sex, and, in later
teen years, hormonal replacement therapy, so they can move through
the puberty aligned with their gender identity. Sex reassignment
and breast modification surgeries are typically only available to
people over the age of 18, but in rare cases, may be carried out
when a person is 16 or 17 years old.
"Plaintiffs [are] unwittingly caught in the crosshairs of that
attack simply because they received medically necessary
gender-affirming medical care here in New York City, near their
homes in the New York City area, and with the expectation that
their private medical records would remain private," the suit says.
"This Court's intervention is necessary." [GN]
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON: Schroeder Loses Class Certification Bid
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the class action lawsuit captioned as ASHLEY SCHROEDER, KENDALL
CLARK, et al., individually and on behalf of all those similarly
situated, v. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON ("UO"), Case No. 6:23-cv-01806-MC
(D. Or.), the Hon. Judge McShane entered an order denying the
Plaintiffs' motion for class certification as to their Treatment
and Benefits classes, Financial Aid damages class, and Effective
Accommodation class.
As previously stated, the Court will determine certification of a
Financial Aid injunctive class following a ruling on the merits.
Because the Beach Volleyball Plaintiffs are not typical of their
proposed class members, certification of the Equal Treatment and
Benefits classes is denied.
Because the Plaintiffs do not convince this Court that class-wide
resolution is superior to other methods of adjudicating the
conflicts, the damages classes do not satisfy Rule 23(b)(3) and
certification is denied.
The Rowing Plaintiffs fail to show by a preponderance of the
evidence that they are members of their proposed class of students
who are interested and capable of being on a varsity team.
Moreover, the established record of the Rowing Plaintiffs'
inability to compete on a varsity level subjects them to a unique
defense that defeats typicality. Consequently, certification of the
Effective Accommodation class is denied.
The Plaintiffs allege that UO violates Title IX of the Education
Amendments of 1972 by providing female students with unequal
treatment and benefits, unequal financial aid, and fewer varsity
athletic participation opportunities than those provided to male
students.
The Plaintiffs ask the Court to certify the following five classes:
Count I: Equal Treatment and Benefits
A class for declaratory and injunctive relief under Fed. R. Civ. P.
23(b)(2) of "all current and future female students who participate
or will participate in intercollegiate varsity athletics at UO."
A class for damages under Rule 23(b)(3) of "all current and former
female students who participated or will participate in
intercollegiate varsity athletics at UO at anytime from the start
of the 2020–21 academic year until the end of the 2025–26
academic year."
Count II: Equal Financial Aid
A class for declaratory and injunctive relief under Rule 23(b)(2)
of "all current and future female students who participate or will
participate in intercollegiate varsity athletics at UO and do not
receive all athletic financial aid permissible under federal law."
A class for damages under Rule 23(b)(3) of "all current and former
female students who participated or participate in intercollegiate
varsity athletics at UO and did not or do not receive all athletic
financial aid permissible under federal law at any time from the
start of the 2020–21 academic year until the end of the 2025–
26 academic year."
Count III: Effective Accommodation
A class for declaratory and injunctive relief under Rule 23(b)(2)
of "all present and future female students at UO who are being
deprived of the opportunity to participate on women’s varsity
intercollegiate athletic teams."
The Plaintiffs include Halli Fields, Natasha George, Josie
Griffiths, Jade Bernal, Dahlia Mcallister, Presley Mccaskill,
Abigail Plevin, Valerie Peterson, Ella Tyus, Siulolovao Folau, Alex
Laita, Batia Rotstein, Zoe Almanza, Beatrice Wetton, Mia Lopez,
Delaney Hopen, Carly Wallace, Savannah Siegrist, Anastasia Lima,
Madelyn Lafollette, Alexandra Haden, Josie Cole, Alaina Thomas,
Vivian Donovan, Elise Haverland, River Ribeiro, Sophia Schmitz,

The Defendant is a public research university in Eugene, Oregon.

US FOODS: Employees Sue Over Misappropriated 401(k) Forfeitures
---------------------------------------------------------------
Caitlyn Rosen of Courthouse News Service reports that a group of US
Foods Inc. employees filed a class action Thursday, May 28, after
the company used 401(k) forfeitures to reduce its own plan
contributions, and then tried to retroactively change the plan to
skirt liability.
In a 29-page complaint filed in the Northern District of Illinois,
the class of employees says the food distribution company ignored
its own retirement plan guidelines and used plan assets to offset
employer contributions. Under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, retirement plans must have a written plan
document.
"That document is not advisory. It is the plan rulebook," the class
wrote in the complaint. "It binds the fiduciaries who administer
the plan, controls the use of plan assets, and protects
participants' rights. A fiduciary's refusal or failure to follow
the written plan document violates ERISA."
When plan participants leave a company before fully vesting in
employer contributions, they typically forfeit the nonvested
portion of those funds. According to the complaint, US Foods'
retirement plan "impose a simple hierarchy: forfeitures must be
applied first to reduce [p]lan expenses; only after [p]lan expenses
are paid in full may forfeitures be used to reduce US Foods'
employer-contribution obligations."
Instead of using those forfeitures to reduce plan expenses,
however, US Foods used them to reduce its own employer obligations.
"From 2020 through 2024 alone, US Foods used at least $13,685,000
in forfeitures to reduce employer-contribution obligations while
the Plan reported at least $7,331,000 in Plan expenses," plaintiffs
wrote in the 29-page complaint.
A representative from US Foods Inc. declined to comment on the
pending lawsuit.
When US Foods realized the issue, it tried to preserve those gains
by retroactively amending the plan document.
Plaintiffs noted in the complaint that the retirement plan's long
amendment history made US Foods' wrongdoing all the more glaring.
Over the years, the company amended hardship withdrawal rules,
contribution limits, vesting-service rules, compensation
definitions, profit-sharing contributions, distribution options and
other plan features.
The amendments did not address forfeitures until 2024, when "US
Foods adopted Amendment Eight to the Plan Document. Amendment Eight
provides that forfeitures shall retain their character as Employer
Contributions and be applied as credits against future employer
contributions unless US Foods elects to pay employer contributions
without offset. But US Foods did not just attempt to amend the Plan
Document going forward. Instead, US Foods claimed in Amendment
Eight that the new language about forfeitures was retroactive and
effective on January 1, 2019."
The employees reiterated that Amendment Eight was not a
clarification or updated explanation of the plan. Rather, it was a
confession.
"That backdating is not a cure. It is evidence of the breach and
improper fiduciary conduct," plaintiffs wrote in the complaint. "US
Foods knew its conduct violated ERISA and the Plan Document. So, US
Foods tried to change the language and make the change retroactive.
This is evidence of an evil mind." [GN]

VOLKSWAGEN AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT: Faces Suit Over SUVs' Battery Defect
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tracy Bagdonas of ClassAction.org reports that a proposed class
action lawsuit alleges that Volkswagen has concealed a dangerous
defect in the high-voltage (HV) lithium-ion batteries installed in
certain 2023-2025 ID.4 SUVs that can cause the vehicles to
overheat, catch fire or otherwise suffer catastrophic damage.
The 77-page lawsuit contends that Volkswagen has continued to
market the all-electric ID.4 as an intelligently engineered, safe
and forward-looking vehicle despite knowing that the SUVs were
plagued by defective battery systems susceptible to "thermal
events" -- sometimes during Level 3 DC charging, the most efficient
and quickest form of vehicle charging -- or while parked and not
charging, or while driving.
According to the complaint, the VW defect stems from electrode
misalignment within the high-voltage battery's power-generating
compartments, called cells. The suit explains that electrodes store
lithium, and electrolytes carry lithium ions from a negative
electrode (anodes) to positive electrode (cathode) in the form of
electricity or vice versa, from cathode to anode, when a cell is
charging.
The class action lawsuit says that VW has admitted that the battery
maker SK Battery America, after reviewing damaged cell modules,
"found that the damaged cell modules contained shifted cathodes."
The lawsuit says that the automaker received several reports of
battery-related thermal events between January 2024 and August
2025, with some incidents tied to high-voltage battery charging at
Level 3 chargers and others occurring while a vehicle was parked
and not charging.
Per the complaint, Volkswagen did not begin to issue recalls until
late 2025, nearly two years after it first learned of an ID.4
battery fire, despite having access to testing results, consumer
complaints and internal data that should have revealed the defect
before ID.4 drivers were put at risk.
In December 2025, Volkswagen issued the first of three recalls tied
to what it described as a "quality deviation" in the battery
electrodes, an initiative that initially covered 311 vehicles
before being expanded to 629 vehicles, the suit relays. As part of
the recall, drivers were instructed to avoid Level 3 DC chargers,
limit charging capacity to 80 percent and avoid charging vehicles
indoors overnight, the filing says.
The complaint relays that Volkswagen later issued two additional
recalls in January 2026, which in total covered tens of thousands
of vehicles. According to the suit, the automaker offered free
battery health inspections for one recall, and software updates and
replacements as needed in affected vehicles models.
The lawsuit argues that Volkswagen, before selling the vehicles,
should have discovered the ID.4 battery defect through standard
pre-sale testing and validation procedures routinely used in the
automotive industry.
"The use of better safety systems and more rigorous testing would
have prevented the reported thermal event and battery fire
incidents in the Class Vehicles and the significant cost and
inconvenience now visited upon Plaintiffs and members of the
Class," the filing asserts.
Similarly, the suit points to a 2017 National Highway Traffic
Safety
Administration report that warned manufacturers about the dangers
of lithium-ion battery "thermal runaway" events, a phenomenon
whereby the lithium-ion cell in a high-voltage battery enters an
"uncontrollable, self-heating state" capable of causing fires and
explosions.
Despite these documented risks, the suit alleges, Volkswagen
continued to market the vehicles at issue as dependable and safe
long-term investments. According to the complaint, Volkswagen
heavily promoted the ID.4 as the "future of driving" and backed the
SUVs with a four-year/50,000 new vehicle limited warranty and an
eight-year/100,000-mile battery-specific warranty coverage.
However, the lawsuit alleges that consumers have been left with
vehicles of diminished value, with charging restrictions and safety
concerns given the ongoing risk of battery failure.
The Volkswagen ID.4 class action lawsuit seeks to represent all
individuals and entities who purchased or leased a 2023-2025
Volkswagen ID.4 in the United States. [GN]
WALMAN OPTICAL: Crimando Sues Over Private Data Breach
------------------------------------------------------
JANNA CRIMANDO, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. THE WALMAN OPTICAL COMPANY d/b/a WALMAN
OPTICAL, Defendant, Case No. 0:26-cv-02664 (D. Minn., May 19, 2026)
arises from Defendant's failure to properly secure and safeguard
Plaintiff's and other similarly situated current and former
customers' and patients' sensitive information, including protected
health information and other personally identifiable information.
On or around April 27, 2026, the Defendant experienced unauthorized
access to its IT Network. Since the data breach occurred, the
notorious ransomware group "Medusa" has claimed responsibility for
the data breach. Medusa has already leaked Plaintiff and Class
Members private information on the dark web. As a result,
Plaintiff's and Class Members' private information has been damaged
and diminished by its compromise and unauthorized release.
Accordingly, Plaintiff now brings three causes of action:
negligence/negligence per se, breach of implied contract, and
unjust enrichment.
The Walman Optical Company manufactures and distributes
prescription lenses, frames, and other ophthalmic goods. [BN]

WALMART INC: Faces Class Suit Over Unlawful Hiring System in Mass.
------------------------------------------------------------------
A new class action lawsuit filed by Massachusetts job applicants
alleges that Walmart operates an unlawful hiring system that forced
them to disclose their criminal records and undergo unlawful
honesty testing, as a condition of their employment. The plaintiff
in this case is represented by Outten & Golden LLP and Fair Work
PC.
Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that Walmart, which employs more
than 13,000 people in Massachusetts, requires job applicants to
voluntarily disclose their criminal records as a condition of their
employment. Job applicants who failed to participate in this
process lost their job opportunities altogether, while those who
did had their responses analyzed for "truthfulness" against
independently obtained criminal records. According to the lawsuit,
Walmart's system functions as a lie detector test, which is clearly
prohibited under Massachusetts law.
The plaintiff in this case, Donald Keets, alleges that he applied
for an overnight stocking position at Walmart in Seekonk,
Massachusetts in January 2025. At that time, he disclosed a prior
conviction during the hiring process. Despite his honesty, Walmart
revoked his conditional job offer -- even though Walmart's own
background check failed to uncover the conviction.
"I was honest about my past because I believed that was the right
thing to do," said Donald Keets. "It feels like it's a trap – and
it means people like me can't get a fair shot at working."
"Massachusetts law is clear: employers cannot force applicants to
submit to honesty testing in order to get a job," said Christopher
M. McNerney, partner at Outten & Golden and one of the attorneys
for the plaintiff.
This is the second lawsuit filed by Outten & Golden challenging
Walmart's use of criminal history information in its hiring
process. In New Jersey, Outten & Golden and its co-counsel Youth
Represent are litigating a class action lawsuit challenging
Walmart's overly broad background check process and the disparate
impact it has on Black job applicants.

Defendant, Case No. 26-2-15780-4 SEA (Wash. Super., King Cty., May

WATERBOY LLC: Dilena Sues Over Drink Mixes' Deceptive Marketing
---------------------------------------------------------------
Julia Dilena, individually and on behalf of all others similarly
situated, Plaintiff v. Waterboy, LLC., Defendant, Case No.
2:26-cv-05361 (C.D. Cal., May 19, 2026), aims to hold Defendant,
Waterboy LLC, responsible for failing to truthfully and accurately
label and market its drink mixes.
The Defendant has allegedly misrepresented that its drink mix
products are "All Natural", "Naturally flavored" or "Natural Flavor
with Other Natural Flavor." However, contrary to Defendant's
misrepresentations, the said products contain a number of
artificial ingredients, including manufactured citric acid. The
Plaintiff did not expect Defendant to publicly place deceptive
statements about the products on their front labels or Defendant's
online listings, says the suit.
As a result, the Plaintiff suffered injury in fact when she spent
money purchasing these products she would not have purchased, or
would have paid less for, absent Defendant's misconduct.
Accordingly, the Plaintiff brings nine causes of action: unfair
competition, violation of the Consumer Legal Remedies Act, false
advertising, breach of express warranty, breach of implied
warranty, negligent misrepresentation, intentional
misrepresentation/fraud, breach of consumer protection statutes,
and unjust enrichment.
Headquartered in Austin, TX, Waterboy, LLC. operates in the food
and beverage industry. [BN]

WISE GROUP: Rosen Law Investigates Potential Securities Claims
--------------------------------------------------------------
Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces
an investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of
shareholders of Wise Group plc (NASDAQ: WSE) resulting from
allegations that Wise Group plc may have issued materially
misleading business information to the investing public.
So What: If you purchased Wise Group plc securities you may be
entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees
or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm
is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.
What to do next: To join the prospective class action, go to
https://rosenlegal.com/cases/wise-group-plc/join or call Phillip
Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com
for information on the class action.
What is this about: On June 1, 2026, The Wall Street Journal
published an article entitled "Wise Group Faces Court Summons Over
Money Laundering Probe." The article stated that "Brussels' public
prosecutor is close to summoning payment processor Wise Group
before a criminal court following an investigation into potential
money laundering offenses."
On this news, Wise stock fell sharply in intra-day trading on June
1, 2026.
Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel
with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms
issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or
any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not
actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting
counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the
globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and
shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at
that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement
against a Chinese Company. At the time Rosen Law Firm was Ranked
No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of
securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been
ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds
of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm
secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner
Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar.
Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and
Super Lawyers.

WIX.COM LTD: Faces Securities Fraud Class Action Lawsuit
--------------------------------------------------------
Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces an
investigation into Wix.com Ltd. (NASDAQ:WIX) for potential
securities fraud after its significant stock drop.
If you invested in Wix, you are encouraged to obtain additional
information by visiting:
https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/wix-class-action-lawsuit.
Key Details of the Wix ($WIX) Class Action Investigation:
-- Investigation Overview: Securities fraud regarding Wix's
misrepresentations to investors regarding demand, AI competition,
and its ability to deliver new products and innovation to sustain
growth.
-- Stock Decline: May 13, 2026 - 27% Stock Drop
-- Action: Contact BFA Law to discuss your rights
Why is Wix Being Investigated for Securities Fraud?
Wix provides a platform for creating and managing websites without
coding. The company has recently increased focus on artificial
intelligence tools, including its AI-powered website builder, Wix
Harmony, and its acquisition of the AI application platform
Base44.
BFA is investigating whether Wix made false and misleading
statements to investors regarding demand from professional
designers, AI competition, and its ability to deliver new products
and innovation to sustain growth.
Why did Wix's Stock Drop?
On May 13, 2026, Wix released its 1Q 2026 financial results. The
company reported earnings and revenue below consensus expectations,
and a sharp decline in operating margins which it largely
attributed to softness in its professional developer business.
Specifically, Wix acknowledged that its professional developer
customers were using competing AI tools, its new Wix Harmony
platform had "holes" and "missing capabilities," there had been
delays in delivering product updates and innovation to professional
developer customers, and as a result the company had fallen behind
"the workflow and the needs of" professional developers.
This news caused the price of Wix stock to decline $20.56 per
share, or 27%, from a closing price of $75.88 per share on May 12,
2026, to $55.32 per share on May 13, 2026.
