Do You Qualify for Any of June’s Class-Action Settlements?

Some major brands — Apple, Noom, Chipotle and Ford, among others — have agreed to class action lawsuit settlements with claim deadlines coming up this month.

Read on to find out if you qualify to claim some cash but act fast. Some of the deadlines come early in the month.

Noom Autorenewal and Cancellation Policy $56M Class Action Settlement

Weight-loss program Noom has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit for $56 million.

The Class is made up of anyone who purchased an automatically renewing Noom Healthy Weight subscription through the Noom website or mobile app between May 12, 2016, and Oct. 6, 2020, while in the United States and did not receive a full refund or chargeback on their subscription payments.

Anyone who purchased their subscription through the Apple iTunes or Google Play stores is not considered part of the class.

Plaintiffs alleged Noom violated consumer protection law by not clearly disclosing the Noom Healthy Weight subscription auto renewal offer terms and by not providing a simple means of online cancellation.

Claims must be submitted no later than June 24, 2022.

Rash Curtis Wrong-Number Calls $75.6M Class Action Settlement

Collections agency Rash Curtis & Associates is paying $75.6 million as part of a settlement to resolve claims its wrong-number calls violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).

Consumers are eligible to participate in the settlement if they received unsolicited calls from Rash Curtis between June 17, 2012, and April 2, 2019.

These consumers are sorted into subclasses based on whether they received calls on a cellphone or landline, whether their numbers were obtained via skip tracing, or whether they never had a Rash Curtis debt-collection account under their name.

Plaintiffs in the 2016 class action lawsuit claimed Rash Curtis used an autodialer to place excessive pre-recorded wrong-number calls without consent.

The deadline to file a claim is June 2, 2022.

Filters Fast Data Breach Class Action Settlement 

Customers who purchased various filters through Filters Fast may be eligible to benefit from a settlement resolving claims stemming from a data breach.

The settlement benefits any U.S. resident whose credit or debit card was used to make a purchase on FiltersFast.com at any point between July 15, 2019, and July 10, 2020.

The company announced the cybersecurity incident in August 2020; certain customers’ card information could have been compromised during the breach.

The plaintiffs claim Filters Fast is responsible for the breach due to negligence, breach of implied contract and other violations.

File your claim by June 3, 2022.

StubHub Ticket Fees Class Action Settlement

StubHub Inc. has agreed to a settlement that benefits consumers who purchased tickets through the ticket resale website.

The class is made up of anyone who, between Sept. 1, 2015, and Sept. 1, 2019, while in California, purchased at least one ticket from StubHub using the StubHub website or mobile site — but not the mobile app.

The way StubHub displayed ticket fees on its site allegedly violated California law, according to the class action lawsuit. The platform allegedly displayed fees for the first time near the end of the purchase process.

The plaintiffs also argue StubHub should have disclosed it profited from certain fees.

Claims are due by June 25, 2022.

Mylan EpiPen Antitrust $264M Class Action Settlement

Mylan has agreed to a $264 million settlement to resolve claims it worked with Pfizer and other companies to increase the price of EpiPens.

Individuals and entities who paid for or provided reimbursement for branded EpiPens or generic equivalents between Aug. 24, 2011, and Nov. 1, 2020, are eligible to make a claim.

Mylan was accused in a class action lawsuit of working with Pfizer to artificially raise the price of EpiPen products. Plaintiffs alleged the companies knowingly violated antitrust and racketeering laws.

The claim deadline is June 25, 2022.

Chipotle Hidden Delivery Fees $4M Class Action Settlement

Restaurant chain Chipotle will pay $4 million to resolve claims it charged hidden delivery fees on orders placed through the company’s website and app.

The settlement benefits consumers who placed a Chipotle order for delivery through the company’s website or app between May 11, 2020, and Jan. 19, 2022. Class members are divided into subclasses depending on whether they are members of Chipotle’s rewards program.

Chipotle, which offers in-store, pick up and even delivery options, says on its website consumers can place a delivery order and pay only $1 in fees.

However, according to the plaintiffs in a 2021 class action lawsuit, Chipotle promised free or “$1 delivery” on food items while charging hidden delivery fees in the form of service fees and higher food prices.

Claim forms may be submitted through June 28, 2022.

Jaguar Land Rover Defective Timing Chains Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

Jaguar has settled a class action lawsuit claiming certain Land Rover and Range Rover models have a defective timing chain.

The settlement benefits current and former lessees of model year 2012 to 2014 Land Rover LR4 and/or Range Rover Sport vehicles as of Aug. 6, 2021.

Class members can call (844) 285-9444 to check whether their VIN is covered under the settlement.

From 2012 to 2014, Land Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles were allegedly sold with a defective timing chain, according to the class action lawsuit. A vehicle’s timing chain allows engine valves to open and vent exhaust while letting in gas and air.

The last day to submit a claim form is June 7, 2022.

JBS, Smithfield Pork Direct Purchasers Price-Fixing $102M Class Action Settlement

Pork producers JBS and Smithfield have agreed to a combined settlement of over $100 million to resolve claims they violated antitrust laws to raise pork prices.

The settlement benefits restaurants and distributors that purchased pork products directly from the defendant pork producers between Jan. 1, 2009, and Jan. 22, 2021.

Other defendants in the case are Clemens Food Group, Hormel Foods, Indiana Packers, Seaboard Foods, Triumph Foods, Tyson Foods and Agri Stats.

The class action lawsuit accused JBS and Smithfield of working with several other companies to artificially inflate pork prices, leaving direct purchasers no choice but to pay more for pork products than they would have in a fair market.

The claim form deadline is June 14, 2022.

Doctor’s Best Glucosamine False Advertising Class Action Settlement

Doctor’s Best has agreed to a settlement over claims it falsely advertises its glucosamine supplements as containing glucosamine sulfate. Class members can claim up to $25 without providing proof of purchase.

The settlement benefits consumers who purchased certain Doctor’s Best glucosamine supplements between July 22, 2016, and Feb. 28, 2022. The settlement covers the following product.

• Doctor’s Best Glucosamine Sulfate 750mg
• Vegan Glucosamine Sulfate 750mg
• Synergistic Glucosamine MSM
• Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM
• Vegan Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM
• and Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM + Hyaluronic Acid

Doctor’s Best allegedly intentionally misrepresents its supplements as containing glucosamine sulfate, when in reality, the supplements contain less effective ingredients, such as glucosamine hydrochloride and potassium sulfate.

Plaintiffs argue they paid a higher price for Doctor’s Best glucosamine supplements based on ads that represented the products as containing glucosamine sulfate. Because these representations were false, the lawsuit says, consumers overpaid for the supplements and suffered from financial injury.

June 14, 2022, is the last day to file a claim.

Ford Explorer Exhaust System Defect Class Action Settlement

Consumers who have had problems with the exhaust system in their Ford Explorer may be eligible to benefit from a class action lawsuit settlement.

The class is made up of all entities and natural persons in the United States, its territories and the District of Columbia who currently or previously owned or leased 2016 and 2017 model-year Ford Explorer sold or leased in the U.S. — excluding 2016 and 2017 Police Interceptor Utility Ford Explorers.

Fumes can enter the vehicles’ passenger compartments, according to a class action lawsuit.

The deadline to file a claim, according to the settlement website, is six months after the settlement effective date of Dec. 30, 2021 — which would be on or about June 30, 2022 — OR 120 days after the date of the Technical Service Bulletin 17-0044 repair for which partial reimbursement is sought, whichever is later.
