DUPONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANY, individually and as successor in interest to DuPont Chemical Solutions Enterprise; KIDDE PLC, INC.; NATION FORD CHEMICAL COMPANY; NATIONAL FOAM, INC.; PERIMETER SOLUTIONS, LP; THE CHEMOURS COMPANY, individually and as successor in interest to DuPont Chemical Solutions Enterprise; TYCO FIRE PRODUCTS L.P.; UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION; and UTC FIRE & SECURITY AMERICAS CORPORATION, INC., Case No. 2:25-cv-12328-RMG (D.S.C., Sept. 5, 2025), is brought for damages for personal injury resulting from exposure to aqueous film-forming foams ("AFFF") containing the toxic chemicals collectively known as per and polyfluoroalkyl substances ("PFAS"), and contaminated drinking water containing PFAS. PFAS includes, but is not limited to, perfluorooctanoic acid ("PFOA") and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid ("PFOS") and related chemicals including those that degrade to PFOA and/or PFOS. PFOS and PFOA are mobile, persist indefinitely in the environment, bioaccumulate in individual organisms and humans, and biomagnify up the food chain. PFOS and PFOA are also associated with multiple and significant adverse health effects in humans, including but not limited to kidney cancer, testicular cancer, high cholesterol, thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis, and pregnancy-induced hypertension. AFFF is a specialized substance designed to extinguish petroleum-based fires. It has been used for decades by military and civilian firefighters to extinguish fires in training and in response to Class B fires. The Defendants designed, manufactured, marketed, distributed, and/or sold AFFF/Component Products despite knowing that PFAS are toxic persist indefinitely, and would be routinely released into the environment during fire protection, training, and response activities, even when used as directed and intended by Defendants. The Defendants collectively designed, marketed, developed, manufactured, distributed, released, trained users, produced instructional materials, promoted, sold, and/or otherwise released into the stream of commerce AFFF with knowledge that it contained highly toxic and bio persistent PFASs, which would expose end users of the product to the risks associated with PFAS. Further, defendants designed, marketed, developed, manufactured, distributed, released, trained users, produced instructional materials, promoted, sold and/or otherwise handled and/or used underlying chemicals and/or products added to AFFF which contained PFAS for use in firefighting. PFAS binds to proteins in the blood of humans exposed to the material and remains and persists over long periods of time. Due to their unique chemical structure, PFAS accumulates in the blood and body of exposed individuals. PFAS are highly toxic and carcinogenic chemicals. Defendants knew, or should have known, that PFAS remain in the human body while presenting significant health risks to humans. Defendants' PFAS-containing AFFF products were used by the Plaintiff in their intended manner, without significant change in the products' condition. Plaintiff was unaware of the dangerous properties of the Defendants' AFFF products and relied on the Defendants' instructions as to the proper handling of the products. Plaintiff's consumption, inhalation and/or dermal absorption of PFAS from Defendant's AFFF products caused Plaintiff to develop the serious medical conditions and complications alleged herein. Through this action, Plaintiff seeks to recover compensatory and punitive damages arising out of the permanent and significant damages sustained as a direct result of exposure to Defendants' AFFF products at various locations during the course of Plaintiff's training and firefighting activities. Plaintiff further seeks injunctive, equitable, and declaratory relief arising from the same, says the complaint. The Plaintiff consumed water from sources City of Austin Water & Wastewater while living in Austin, Texas from 2013 through 2025 and was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma as a result of exposure to Defendants' AFFF products. The Defendants are designers, marketers, developers, manufacturers, distributors, releasers, instructors, promotors and sellers of PFAS containing AFFF products or underlying PFAS containing chemicals used in AFFF production.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Larry Taylor, Jr., Esq.

HANLEY CENTER FOUNDATION, INC., a Florida Not for Profit Corporation, Case No. 9:24-cv-81569-WM (S.D. Fla.), the Hon. Judge William Matthewman entered an order denying the Plaintiff's motion for conditional certification. The Court agrees with the Defendant. Plaintiff's evidence that other employees desire to opt in is entirely speculative. This case has been pending since Dec. 19, 2024, and no other employee has joined or indicated a desire to join this case. Instead, the Plaintiff relies on her conjectural declaration. Fundamentally, the Plaintiff fails to produce any evidence to meet her burden in convincing this Court that other "aggrieved individuals exist within the proposed class." Thus, the Court will not certify a collective action. The Plaintiff, on behalf of herself and those similarly situated, brings one claim under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"). The Plaintiff alleges that she and other potential collective members "regularly worked in excess of 40 hours per workweek without being paid overtime wages." The Plaintiff seeks to certify a collective action under 29 U.S.C. § 216(b) consisting of: "Current and former Prevention Specialists, Senior Program Coordinators, Prevention Assistants, and other similarly situated prevention and education employees who were classified as exempt and who worked for the Defendant within the last three (3) years prior to the filing of this Motion." The Plaintiff was employed by the Defendant as a Prevention Specialist from Oct. 2, 2022, through March 12, 2024. Hanley provides addiction treatment, mental health care, drug and alcohol rehab.

HEALTHCARE SERVICES GROUP, INC., Defendant, Case No. 2:25-cv-05133 (E.D. Pa., September 8, 2025) is a class action against HSG for its failure to properly secure and safeguard Plaintiff's and other similarly situated current and former patients' sensitive information As part of its business, the Defendant obtained and stored the private information of Plaintiff and Class Members. Because of this, HSG has a duty to secure, maintain, protect, and safeguard the private information that it collects and stores against unauthorized access and disclosure through reasonable and adequate data security measures. Despite HSG's duty to safeguard Plaintiff's and Class Members' private information, it was compromised in a data breach discovered by Defendant on or around October 7, 2024, when HSG "learned of potential unauthorized access to certain HSGI computer systems." The data breach occurred in part because HSG stored Plaintiff's and Class Members' private information in an unencrypted, Internet-accessible environment, says the suit. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant's failure to implement and follow basic security procedures, Plaintiff's and Class Members' private information is now exposed to cybercriminals.

HEALTHCARE SERVICES GROUP, INC., Defendant, Case No. 2:25-cv-05154 (E.D. Pa., September 8, 2025) is a class action arising out of the recent data security incident and data breach that was perpetrated against Defendant, which held in its possession certain personally identifiable information of Plaintiff and other individuals whose information was provided to Defendant to receive its services. On or around October 7, 2024, Defendant "learned of potential unauthorized access to certain HSGI computer systems." The Defendant discovered "that an unauthorized actor may have accessed and copied certain files on our computer systems between September 27, 2024, and October 3, 2024." The Defendant began notifying individuals of the data breach on August 25, 2025. The complaint asserts that the data breach was directly and proximately caused by Defendant's failure to implement reasonable and industry-standard data security practices necessary to protect its systems from a foreseeable and preventable cyberattack. Through this wrongful conduct, the sensitive PII of over 620,000 individuals is now in the hands of cybercriminals, who target this sensitive data for its value to identity thieves, the suit alleges.

IT WORKS MARKETING, INC., Case No. 3:23-cv-04829-TLT (N.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Trina Thompson entered an order granting in part and denying in part the Plaintiff's motion for class certification. The Court finds that the Plaintiff has satisfied Rule 23(a)'s numerosity, commonality, typicality, and adequacy requirements. The parties concede that the class period be limited to Jan. 22, 2019, until a judgment in this matter. The Court finds that the Plaintiff has not satisfied Rule 23(b)(3)'s predominance and superiority requirements. A Further Case Management Conference is set for Sept. 18, 2025, at 2 p.m. Accordingly, the Court finds that proposed class representative Perez will be an adequate class representative under Rule 23(a)(4). Because Defendants do not dispute the adequacy of class counsel, the Court also finds that Lebe Law, APLC and attorneys Jonathan M. Lebe and Rayne A. Brown are adequate counsel under Rule 23(a)(4). The Plaintiff Marites Perez seeks to represent a class of approximately 46,785 individuals who performed work for the Defendant in California. The Plaintiff herself was an It Works "Distributor" and argues that It Works misclassified Distributors as individual contractors instead of employees. The Plaintiff seeks to certify a class on behalf of: "All individuals who performed work for It Works in the state of California who were classified as independent contractors from Jan. 22, 2019 until a judgment in this matter."

On August 14, 2020, The Privacy Collective (TPC), a foundation having its registered office in Amsterdam, filed a purported class action lawsuit against Oracle Nederland B.V, Oracle Corporation and Oracle America, Inc. (the Oracle Defendants), Salesforce.com, Inc. and SFDC Netherlands B.V. in the District Court of Amsterdam. TPC alleges that the Oracle Defendants' Data Management Platform product violates certain articles of the European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Dutch Telecommunications Act (Telecommunicatiewet). TPC claims damages under a number of categories, including: "immaterial damages” (at a fixed amount of €500 per Dutch internet user); "material damages" (in that the costs of loss of control over personal data should be equated to the market value of the personal data for parties like the Oracle Defendants); compensation for losses suffered due to an alleged data breach (at a fixed amount of €100 per Dutch internet user); and compensation for the costs of the litigation funder (10% to 25% of the compensation awarded); and the (actual) cost of the proceedings and extrajudicial costs. The Defendants filed their defense on March 3, 2021, and on December 29, 2021, the District Court issued a judgment, holding that all of TPC's claims were deemed inadmissible because of fundamental procedural flaws. TPC filed an appeal with the Court of Appeal in Amsterdam challenging the District Court's judgment, except for the claims regarding the alleged data breach, which were dropped. On June 18, 2024, the Court of Appeal overturned the District Court's decision regarding admissibility, thus permitting the case to proceed. The Defendants requested that the Court of Appeal permit an interim appeal to the Dutch Supreme Court and/or the European Court of Justice. On September 24, 2024, the Court of Appeal issued a judgment confirming that TPC's claims are admissible and referred the matter back to the District Court of Amsterdam for a decision on the merits of TPC's claims, including TPC's claims for damages under article 82 of the GDPR. The Court of Appeal also granted Oracle's request for an interim appeal to the Supreme Court, appealing the June 18 and September 24, 2024 judgments. Oracle filed its statement of appeal with the Dutch Supreme Court on December 20, 2024, and TPC appeared in the proceedings on January 31, 2025. The filing of the Supreme Court appeal effectively suspended proceedings before the District Court pursuant to applicable procedural rules. TPC filed its statement of defense in response to the Supreme Court appeal and a counter appeal on February 27, 2025. Oracle filed its statement of defense to the counter appeal on March 28, 2025. TPC and Oracle filed their written submissions setting out their detailed arguments on July 18, 2025. The parties filed their respective further written replies and rejoinders on August 28, 2025. The matter is scheduled to be heard on September 26, 2025, when a date will be set for the issuance of the opinion of the Advocate-General to the Dutch Supreme Court. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses against this action, including defenses to the quantum of damages claimed, and it will continue to vigorously defend it.

The Defendant was and still is an organization owning and operating the website located at https://www.robertgraham.us/. Since the website is open through the internet to the public as an extension of the retail stores, by this nexus the website is an intangible service, privilege and advantage of Defendant's brick and mortar locations, the Defendant has subjected itself and the associated website it created and maintains to the requirements of the ADA. The website also services Defendant's physical stores by providing information on its brand and other information that Defendant is interested in communicating to its customers about its physical locations. Although the Website appeared to have an "accessibility" statement displayed and an "accessibility" widget/plugin added, the "accessibility" statement and widget/plugin, when tested, still could not be effectively accessed by, and continued to be a barrier to, blind and visually disabled persons, including Plaintiff as a completely blind person. Plaintiff, although she attempted to access the statement, thus, was unable to receive any meaningful or prompt assistance through the "accessibility" statement and the widget/plugin to enable her to quickly, fully, and effectively navigate the Website, says the complaint.

According to the complaint, the Defendant does not compensate its Account Service Representatives, like Plaintiff, for all work performed. Instead, the Defendant required their ASRs to perform compensable work tasks before and after their scheduled shifts and during their unpaid meal periods, when they are not logged into Defendant's timekeeping system. As a result of this policy, ASRs are not being paid for all the time worked, including all overtime hours worked. The Defendant also fails to compensate their ASRs, for example Plaintiff and all similarly situated employees, for pre- and mid-shift, off-the-clock work attributed to technical problems with the computers, networks, programs/applications, and/or phones they used daily, says the suit.

SHEIN US SERVICES: Dalton Sues Over Blind-Inaccessible Website -------------------------------------------------------------- Julie Dalton, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. SHEIN US Services, LLC, Case No. 0:25-cv-03571-ECT-DLM (D. Minn., Sept. 9, 2025), is brought arising because Defendant's Website (www.shein.com) (the "Website" or "Defendant's Website") is not fully and equally accessible to people who are blind or who have low vision in violation of both the general non-discriminatory mandate and the effective communication and auxiliary aids and services requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA") and its implementing regulations. In addition to her claim under the ADA, Plaintiff also asserts a companion cause of action under the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA). The Defendant owns, operates, and/or controls its Website and is responsible for the policies, practices, and procedures concerning the Website's development and maintenance. As a consequence of her experience visiting Defendant's Website, including in the past year, and from an investigation performed on her behalf, Plaintiff found Defendant's Website has a number of digital barriers that deny screen reader users like Plaintiff full and equal access to important Website content--content Defendant makes available to its sighted Website users. Still, Plaintiff would like to, intends to, and will attempt to access Defendant's Website in the future to browse, research, or shop online and purchase the products and services that Defendant offers. The Defendant's policies regarding the maintenance and operation of its Website fail to ensure its Website is fully accessible to, and independently usable by, individuals with vision-related disabilities. The Plaintiff and the putative class have been, and in the absence of injunctive relief will continue to be, injured, and discriminated against by Defendant's failure to provide its online Website content and services in a manner that is compatible with screen reader technology, says the complaint. The Plaintiff is and has been legally blind and is therefore disabled under the ADA. The Defendant offers clothing and accessories for sale, including but not limited to, tops, bottoms, dresses, swimwear, shoes, undergarments, housewares, jewelry and more.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Patrick W.
