ALEXIS RUSSELL JEWELRY LLC, Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-03403 (N.D. Ill., March 27, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant for violations of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act and declaratory relief. According to the complaint, the Defendant has failed to design, construct, maintain, and operate its website to be fully accessible to and independently usable by the Plaintiff and other blind or visually impaired persons. The Defendant's website, https://www.alexisrussell.com/, contains access barriers which hinder the Plaintiff and Class members to enjoy the benefits of their online goods, content, and services offered to the public through the website. The accessibility issues on the website include but not limited to: inaccurate landmark structure, inadequate focus order, changing of content without advance warning, lack of alt-text on graphics, inaccessible drop-down menus, redundant links where adjacent links go to the same URL address, and the requirement that transactions be performed solely with a mouse. The Plaintiff and Class members seek permanent injunction to cause a change in the Defendant's corporate policies, practices, and procedures so that its website will become and remain accessible to blind and visually impaired individuals.

ALL BRANDS FURNITURE GB, INC., Case No. 2:26-cv-03451 (D.N.J., April 1, 2026), is brought against Defendant for its failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its website to be fully accessible to and independently usable by Plaintiff and other blind or visually impaired people. The Defendant's denial of full and equal access to its website, and therefore denial of its products and services offered thereby, is a violation of Plaintiff's rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"). Because Defendant's website, www.allbrandsfurniture.net (the "Website"), is not equally accessible to blind and visually impaired consumers, it violates the ADA. The Plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in Defendant's corporate policies, practices, and procedures so that Defendant's website will become and remain accessible to blind and visually-impaired consumers, says the complaint. The Plaintiff is a visually-impaired and legally blind person who requires screen-reading software to read website content using the computer. The Defendant is a company that owns and operates its Website, offering features which should allow all consumers to access the goods and services and by which Defendant ensures the delivery of such goods and services throughout the United States, including the State of New Jersey.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Yaakov Saks, Esq.

Binance, et al., Defendants, Case No. 1:20-cv-2803, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. As previously reported in the Class Action Reporter, the Plaintiffs bring this putative class action against the Defendants for violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On July 23, 2024, the Defendants filed a motion to compel arbitration of claims made prior to February 20, 2019, which Judge Andrew L. Carter, Jr. denied on Feb. 26, 2026. The Court finds that the Plaintiffs' claims that accrued prior to February 20, 2019 are not bound by arbitration because the Plaintiffs did not have sufficient notice of the Defendants' modification of their Terms of Use from the 2017 version to the 2019 version. Alternatively, even assuming proper notice, the Court holds that the lack of any language regarding temporal floors, ceilings, or any space in between prevents the modification from applying to claims accrued before the effective date. Additionally, the purported class action waiver in the 2019 Terms of Use is unenforceable based on its unclear language. Retroactivity similarly does not apply to the class action waiver. For these reasons, the Defendants' motion is denied. The appellate case is styled as Lee v. Binance, Case No. 26-744, in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, filed on March 26, 2026.

BLUETTI POWER INC., Defendant, Case No. 3:26-cv-02927 (N.D.

The case arises from the Defendant's practice of advertising false regular prices and fake discounts on its products. According to the complaint, the purported regular prices and discounts the Defendant advertises are not true because far from being time-limited, the advertised discounts on the Defendant's products are routinely available.

Children's Dental Health Associates, LLC, Defendant, Civil Action No. 25-5238 (E.D. Pa.), Judge John F. Murphy of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania granted in part and denied in part the Defendant's motion to dismiss a putative class action complaint filed under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Plaintiff Jourey Newell received two unsolicited text messages from Defendant Children's Dental Health Associates, LLC: one on May 6, 2025, and one on June 25, 2025. Plaintiff received these messages despite never being a customer, never inquiring about their services, and never providing consent to be contacted. Plaintiff had placed his residential telephone number on the national Do Not Call (DNC) registry on March 19, 2025. The first message offered to book an appointment and identified the sender as Children's Dental Health - Downington. The second message, sent seven weeks later, identified a particular patient by name and encouraged scheduling a check-up. Plaintiff responded to the second message by asking the sender to cease and desist all communications and did not receive any additional text messages thereafter. Plaintiff sued on September 11, 2025, seeking injunctive relief and money damages. Plaintiff found the two messages to be frustrating, obnoxious, annoying, a nuisance, and disturbing to his solitude. Plaintiff reasonably believes class members number, at minimum, in the hundreds. Defendant moved to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(1) for lack of standing to seek injunctive relief, and under Rule 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim, arguing that text messages are not calls for purposes of the TCPA. In the alternative, Defendant argued that even if texts were considered calls, the messages were exempt under a healthcare exemption and were not solicitations under 47 C.F.R. Section 64.1200(c)(2). The court granted Defendant's motion to dismiss the injunctive relief claim without prejudice. Plaintiff did not allege that Defendant continued to contact him after he requested that communications cease. A plaintiff bears the burden of establishing Article III standing for each type of relief sought. Even if a plaintiff has suffered a previous injury due to the defendant's conduct, an injunction is unavailable absent a showing of irreparable injury and a real or immediate threat of being wronged again. Because Plaintiff did not plead any factual basis to conclude that he is at risk of any real or immediate threat of receiving another text message, his claim did not establish standing for injunctive relief. The court also noted that Plaintiff's attempt to add a new allegation in his opposition brief — that Defendant sent texts after Plaintiff demanded they cease — could not be considered, as it is axiomatic that a complaint may not be amended by briefs in opposition to a motion to dismiss. The court denied Defendant's motion to dismiss the substantive TCPA claim. To state a claim under Section 227(c)(5), a plaintiff must plead that: (a) they received multiple calls within twelve months; (b) by or on behalf of the same entity; and (c) on a residential phone registered on the DNC list. Plaintiff satisfied each element. The remaining question was whether texts qualify as calls under the statute. The court held that they do, relying on three grounds. First, the plain meaning of call at the time of the TCPA's enactment in 1991 was to communicate with or try to get into communication with a person by a telephone, with no requirement that the communication be oral. Texting fits comfortably within that meaning. Second, the full statutory structure supports this reading. The Supreme Court remarked in Campbell-Ewald Co. v. Gomez that it is undisputed that a text message qualifies as a call within Section 227(b)(1)(A)(iii), and the Third Circuit held in Gager v. Dell Financial Services, LLC that the TCPA's prohibition on automated dialing applies to both voice calls and text messages. Limiting Section 227(c)'s reach to voice calls while Sections 227(b) and 227(e) cover voice as well as text messages would create an irrational asymmetry at odds with the statute's text and structure. Third, the TCPA's purpose as a consumer protection statute designed to protect individuals' privacy is consistent with treating texts as calls. Those unsolicited communications, whatever form they may take, are not distinguishable in terms of being an invasion of privacy. The court found no reason to depart from the FCC's persuasive reading that the TCPA applies broadly to texts, and noted that while it is not bound by FCC interpretations under McLaughlin Chiropractic Associates, Inc. v. McKesson Corp., the FCC's position is amply supported by the statute's text, purpose, and the reasoning of numerous courts. Solicitation The court also found that the text messages plausibly constituted telephone solicitations. A telephone solicitation is the initiation of a telephone call or message for the purpose of encouraging the purchase or rental of, or investment in, property, goods, or services. Defendant argued the messages encouraged use of services rather than payment. The court found it plausible, at the pleading stage, that the texts were intended to persuade Plaintiff to pay for Defendant's services. The court further found that the mere provision of a name in a message does not end all inquiry into whether a prior relationship existed. With some preliminary discovery, the true purpose and intended recipient of the text messages will be better evaluated. Accordingly, Defendant's motion to dismiss was granted in part as to the claim for injunctive relief, and denied in part as to the substantive TCPA claim, which proceeds.

The Defendant is denying blind and visually impaired individuals throughout the United States equal access to the goods and services Defendant provides to their non-disabled customers through the Website. Defendant's denial of full and equal access to its Website, and therefore denial of its products and services offered, and in conjunction with its physical locations, is a violation of the Plaintiff's rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"). Because Defendant's Website is not equally accessible to blind and visually impaired consumers, it violates the ADA. The Plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in Defendant's policies, practices, and procedures to that Defendant's Website will become and remain accessible to blind and visually-impaired consumers. This complaint also seeks compensatory damages to compensate Class Members for having been subjected to unlawful discrimination, says the complaint.

FEDEX CORPORATION, Case No. 2:26-cv-03296 (D.N.J., March 27, 2026), is brought seeking damages and equitable relief arising from Defendant illegal and invalid tariff charges imposed on Plaintiff and other similarly situated customers of Defendant for orders being mailed from outside of the United States. On Feb. 20, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States ("SCOTUS") held in a 6-3 decision for Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, 607 U.S. (2026) that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") does not authorize presidential tariff imposition on imported goods, finding that the statutory language under the IEEPA empowers "the President to "regulate importation" does not constitute a clear authorization to impose new taxes or tariffs." Prior to the ruling, President Donald Trump issued several executive orders under IEEPA which resulted in American consumers bearing the financial burden of these tariffs by paying charges purported to be purported "duties," "tariffs," and related surcharges as part of the delivery process for goods being imported outside of the United States. As such, delivery services, such as Defendant, imposed these tariff-related charges and increased the shipping costs on its customers. Since the SCOTUS's ruling effectively declared these tariffs to be illegal and unconstitutional, Defendant has done nothing to refund its customers for the tariff related charges they collected. Further, even after the SCOTUS declared President Trump's tariffs as illegal, Defendant continued to charge its customers, including Plaintiff, fees on imported goods. The Plaintiff and similarly situated customers paid money under the illegal tariffs to Defendant, and as such have suffered damages. Plaintiff brings this action on behalf of himself and those similarly situated to recover money wrongfully collected and to obtain appropriate relief permitted by law, says the complaint. The Plaintiff and Class members suffered economic injury as a direct result of Defendant's conduct. The Defendant operates as common carrier and customs broker, providing shipping, logistics, and import clearance services for goods transported into the United States.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Brett R.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY, Case No. 2:24-cv-13310-TGB-DRG (E.D. Mich.), the Hon. Judge Berg entered an order granting the Defendant's motion to dismiss the Plaintiffs' first amended class action complaint. The Court concludes that Plaintiffs fail to plausibly plead the existence of a manufacturing defect in their own or the Class Vehicles sufficient to establish an economic injury under the overpayment theory. Without standing, the case must be dismissed for lack of Article III jurisdiction, and the Court cannot address Defendant’s remaining arguments -- though they would face a similar fate considering Plaintiffs' failure to plausibly allege defect in their own vehicle or a sufficiently widespread defect in the Class Vehicles. The Plaintiffs Matthew Barkus, Daniel Silberman, and Katrina Miller seek damages and equitable relief, individually and on behalf of all other Class Members, for Ford’s alleged sale and lease of certain Ford vehicles equipped with 2.7L or 3.0L "EcoBoost" engines containing intake valves made out of "Silchrome Lite," which suffered ,"from a structural defect in their valvetrains that makes the vehicles susceptible to catastrophic engine failure, exposing occupants to great risk of bodily harm."

The complaint relates that the Defendant markets, labels, advertises, and sells the Products to consumers with packaging that prominently and unequivocally represents that the oil is "100% Pure" or "Extra Virgin Olive Oil," respectively. Reasonable consumers believe, based on Defendant's representation, that the Products are pure olive oil. However, independent laboratory testing has shown that the Products are adulterated with olive pomace oil ("pomace"). The Defendant expressly offers a product called "Capatriti Blended Canola Oil And Extra Virgin Olive Oil." Thus, consumers would not expect the Products, which purport to be solely olive oil, to be blended with other oils. By mislabeling the Products, Defendant dupes consumers into purchasing something that is not olive oil. Nevertheless, the Products are labeled and sold as premium olive oil, and they command a substantial price premium over blended pomace oils, adds the complaint. Accordingly, the Plaintiffs seek relief in this action individually, and on behalf of all other similarly situated individuals who purchased the falsely and deceptively labeled Products during the statute of limitations period, for violation of New York General Business Law, for breach of express warranty, and for fraud. Plaintiff Juan Martinez purchased the Product from Compare Fresh which is located in The Bronx, New York in or around September 2025. Defendant The Gourmet Factory, LLC manufactures, markets, and distributes the Products throughout New York and the United States.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Yitzchak Kopel, Esq. Julian C.

HEALTH GORILLA INC., and TRINITY HEALTH CORPORATION, Defendants, Case No. 1:26-cv-22178-XXXX (S.D. Fla., March 30, 2026) arises from the Defendants' respective failures to properly secure and safeguard sensitive Personally Identifiable Information ("PII") and Protected Health Information ("PHI") (collectively, "Private Information") that was entrusted to them and their accompanying responsibility to store and transfer that information. The complaint relates that each Defendant independently owed numerous statutory, regulatory, contractual, and common law duties and obligations, including those based on affirmative representations to Plaintiff and Class Members, to keep their Private Information confidential, safe, secure, and protected from unauthorized disclosure or access. On January 13, 2026, Defendant THC was notified by its Health Information Exchanges ("HIE") partner that there was a potential unauthorized disclosure of its patients' PHI. The following types of Private Information were compromised in the Data Breach: clinical care details, demographic information, insurance information, and driver's license numbers. On March 13, 2026, Defendant THC began issuing public notice of the Data Breach, and alleged that Health Gorilla, an HIE member, was involved in the Data Breach and a custodian of the Private Information exfiltrated in the Data Breach. The complaint alleges that the Plaintiff and Class Members have suffered and are at an imminent, immediate, and continuing increased risk of suffering, ascertainable losses in the form of harm from identity theft and other fraudulent misuse of their Private Information, the loss of the benefit of their bargain, out-of-pocket expenses incurred to remedy or mitigate the effects of the Data Breach, and the value of their time reasonably incurred to remedy or mitigate the effects of the Data Breach. Accordingly, Plaintiff, on behalf of herself and the Class, asserts claims for negligence, negligence per se, breach of implied contract, breach of third-party beneficiary contract, unjust enrichment, and declaratory judgment. Plaintiff Judi Delis is a patient of Defendant THC, one of Defendant Health Gorilla's Clients.

THE JOHNS HOPKINS HEALTH SYSTEM CORPORATION, ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE JOHNS HOPKINS HEALTH SYSTEM CORPORATION, AND JOHN DOES 1-10, Defendants, Case No. 1:26-cv-01252-ELH (D. Md., March 30, 2026) is a class action brought pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 against The Johns Hopkins Health System Corporation 403(b) Plan's (the "Plan") fiduciaries for breaches of their fiduciary duties. The Plan is a defined contribution 403(b) plan covering substantially all employees of The Johns Hopkins Health System Corporation, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, The Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Inc., and The Johns Hopkins Medical Services Corporation, unless covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the ERISA. During the Class Period, Defendants caused the Plan to enter into an arrangement with Transamerica Retirement Solutions, LLC , who was a party-in-interest engaging in party-in-interest transactions. Specifically, Transamerica received millions of dollars in exchange for recordkeeping services for the Plan. The Plaintiffs, during their employment, participated in the Plan. They suffered injury to their Plan accounts from the underperformance of the funds in the Plan, and by paying excessive recordkeeping costs, asserts the complaint. The Defendants' mismanagement of the Plan, to the detriment of participants and beneficiaries, constitutes a breach of the fiduciary duty of prudence, in violation of the ERISA. Their actions were contrary to actions of a reasonable fiduciary and cost the Plan and its participants millions of dollars, adds the complaint. Based on this conduct, Plaintiffs assert claims against Defendants for breach of the fiduciary duty of prudence (Count I), failure to monitor fiduciaries (Count II) and violations of ERISA's prohibited transactions (Count III). The Plaintiffs contend that they are entitled to receive benefits in the amount of the difference between the value of their accounts currently, or as of the time their accounts were distributed, and what their accounts are or would have been worth, but for Defendants' breaches of fiduciary duties. Defendant The Johns Hopkins Health System Corporation is the sponsor of the Plan and the administrator of the Plan with a principal place of business at 1812 Ashland Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland. Defendant Administrative Committee Johns Hopkins Health System Corporation is the Plan Administrator.

Jones Soda Co., Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-3431 (N.D. Ill., March 27, 2026) is a civil rights action against the Defendant for its failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its Website https://www.jonessoda.com to be fully accessible to and independently usable by Bennett and other blind or visually-impaired individuals, in violation of Bennett's rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The complaint relates that Bennett has made an attempt to complete a purchase on the Website. However, while navigating the Website using his screen reader software, Bennett encountered several accessibility barriers that prevented him from independently completing the purchase. The Website contains access barriers that denied Plaintiff full and equal access. As such, Defendant discriminates, and will continue in the future to discriminate against Bennett and members of the proposed class and subclass on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, accommodations and/or opportunities of the Website in violation of the ADA and/or its implementing regulations, says the suit. Bennett seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in Defendant's policies, practices, and procedures so that Defendant's Website will become and remain accessible to blind and visually-impaired consumers. This complaint also seeks compensatory damages to compensate Class Members for having been subjected to unlawful discrimination. Plaintiff Livingston Bennett is a visually-impaired and legally blind person who requires screen-reading software to read website content using the computer. Defendant Jones Soda Co. provides to the public the Website, which provides consumers access to an array of goods and services, including, the ability to purchase a selection of beverages, including sodas in various flavors such as root beer, cream soda, orange & cream, green apple, berry lemonade, blue bubblegum, grape, and other specialty or limited-edition flavors, as well as customizable soda bottles.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Michael Ohrenberger, Esq.

KAPLAN NORTH AMERICA, LLC, Case No. 9:26-cv-80364-AMC (S.D. Fla., April 1, 2026), is brought seeking to hold Defendant responsible for the harms it caused Plaintiff and similarly situated persons in the preventable data breach of Defendant's inadequately protected computer network. As part of its business, Defendant obtained and stored the personal information of Plaintiff and Class members. By taking possession and control of Plaintiff's and Class members' personal information, Defendant assumed a duty to securely store and protect it. The Defendant breached this duty and betrayed the trust of Plaintiff and Class members by failing to properly safeguard and protect their personal information, thus enabling cybercriminals to access, acquire, appropriate, compromise, disclose, encumber, exfiltrate, release, steal, misuse, and/or view it. The Defendant's misconduct--failing to implement adequate and reasonable measures to protect Plaintiff's and Class members' Personal Information, failing to timely detect the Data Breach, failing to take adequate steps to prevent and stop the Data Breach, failing to disclose the material facts that it did not have adequate security practices in place to safeguard the Personal Information, and failing to provide timely and adequate notice of the Data Breach--caused substantial harm and injuries to Plaintiff and Class members across the United States. Due to Defendant's negligence and failures, cyber criminals obtained and now possess everything they need to commit personal identity theft and wreak havoc on the financial and personal lives of thousands of individuals, for decades to come The Plaintiff brings this class action lawsuit to hold Defendant responsible for its grossly negligent--indeed, reckless—failure to use statutorily required or reasonable industry cybersecurity measures to protect Class members' Personal Information.

Cal., March 27, 2026) is a class action seeking compensatory damages and/or disgorgement in an amount to be proven at trial, and declaratory, injunctive, or other equitable relief. The complaint relates that Loop uses its Website as an online marketplace, where consumers can browse, and purchase various products. When consumers visit the Website, they are presented with the opportunity to opt out of third-party tracking technologies including those which Defendant uses for targeted advertising purposes. Unbeknownst to its customers, and contrary to its express assurance that cookies and similar technologies do not enable the systematic collection of data which could identify the users of its website, Defendant intercepts and discloses its customers personally identifiable information ("PII"), and product purchase information to third parties. The Defendant aids, agrees with, employs, or otherwise enables the Third Parties to eavesdrop on communications sent and received by Plaintiff and Class Members on the Website that Defendant owns and operates, including communications that contain PII. The Defendant violated California Penal Code by knowingly accessing and without permission taking, copying, analyzing, and using Plaintiff's and Class members' data. By failing to procure consent, Defendant violated the Electronic Communications Privacy Act ("ECPA"); the California Invasion of Privacy Act ("CIPA"); the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act ("CDAFA"); and the California Constitution. The Plaintiff and Class members suffered economic injury because Defendant unjustly profited from Plaintiff's biometric information, adds the complaint.

MASTER MOBILELINK LLC and MOBILY, LLC, d/b/a MOBILELINK, Defendant, Case No. 4:26-cv-02565 (S.D. Tex., March 31, 2026) arises from Defendant's failure to properly secure and safeguard sensitive personally identifiable information ("PII" or "Private Information") that was entrusted to it, and its accompanying responsibility to store and transfer that information. The complaint relates that on February 26, 2026, Defendant completed an investigation into suspicious network activity that it detected on its network. Defendant concluded that on November 9, 2025, it experienced a network disruption and personal information was acquired without authorization during this incident. The Private Information compromised includes names and Social Security numbers. On March 27, 2026, Defendant began sending individualized Notice of Data Security Incident letters to those affected by the Data Breach. The Plaintiff brings this action on behalf of all persons whose Private Information was compromised as a result of Defendant's failure to: (i) adequately protect the Private Information of Plaintiff and Class Members; (ii) warn Plaintiff and Class Members of Defendant's inadequate information security practices; (iii) effectively secure hardware containing protected Private Information using reasonable and adequate security procedures free of vulnerabilities and incidents; and (iv) timely notify Plaintiff and Class Members of the Data Breach. Defendant's conduct amounts to at least negligence and violates federal and state statutes. The Plaintiff brings this action against Defendant for: negligence, negligence per se, unjust enrichment, and breach of implied contract. The Plaintiff seeks to remedy these harms and prevent any future data compromise on behalf of herself and all similarly situated persons whose personal data was compromised and stolen as a result of the Data Breach and who remain at risk due to Defendant's inadequate data security practices.

MASTER MOBILELINK LLC and MOBILY, LLC, d/b/a MOBILELINK, Case No. 4:26-cv-02600 (S.D. Tex., April 1, 2026), is brought on behalf of all persons who entrusted Defendant with sensitive personally identifiable information ("PII" or "Private Information") that was impacted in a data breach that Defendant experienced on November 9, 2025 (the "Data Breach" or the "Breach"), arising from Defendant's failure to properly secure and safeguard Private Information that was entrusted to it, and its accompanying responsibility to store and transfer that information. The Defendant had numerous statutory, regulatory, contractual, and common law duties and obligations, including those based on its affirmative representations to Plaintiff and Class Members, to keep their Private Information confidential, safe, secure, and protected from unauthorized disclosure or access. On March 27, 2026, Defendant began sending individualized Notice of Data Security Incident letters to those affected by the Data Breach ("Notice"). Defendant failed to take precautions designed to keep individuals' Private Information secure. The Defendant, despite having the financial wherewithal and personnel necessary to prevent the Data Breach, nevertheless failed to use reasonable security procedures and practice appropriate to the nature of the sensitive, unencrypted information it maintained for Plaintiff and Class Members, causing the exposure of Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information. As a result of Defendant's inadequate digital security and notice process, Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information was exposed to criminals. Plaintiff and the Class Members have suffered and will continue to suffer injuries including: financial losses caused by misuse of their Private Information; the loss or diminished value of their Private Information as a result of the Data Breach; lost time associated with detecting and preventing identity theft; and theft of personal and financial information, says the complaint. The Plaintiff and Class Members provided their Private Information to Defendant.

Denied ------------------------------------------------- Judge Karen K. Caldwell, Chairperson of the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, denied the move by the plaintiff in case captioned "Settecasi V. Huel, Inc.," C.A. No. 0:25-62507 pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California to centralize litigation of five actions pending in four districts to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York in the multi-district litigation captioned "In re: Huel, Inc., Heavy Metal Products Liability Litigation," MDL No. 3177. Plaintiffs in the five class actions are individuals that purchased Huel protein powder, such as "Huel Black Edition High-Protein Complete Meal." They allege that Huel misleadingly marketed Huel Black as a safe supplement when it contained heavy metals, such as lead. Although the parties' overlapping allegations may raise some common factual questions, the panel was unconvinced that centralization is warranted for so few actions. Because of consolidation that has occurred among cases pending in the Eastern District of New York, this litigation is spread among only four judges in four districts, notes the panel.

MEADOW FALLS BATH OPCO LLC, et al. and JOHN DOE CORPORATIONS 1-10, Defendants, Case No. 5:26-cv-00742 (N.D. Ohio, March 27, 2026) is a class action against the Defendants for their collective failure to pay employees overtime wages, seeking all available relief under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. According to the complaint, the Defendants employed Named Plaintiff and other similarly situated direct care employees as hourly, non-exempt employees. They worked over 40 hours in one or more workweek(s) or were scheduled to work more than 40 hours in one or more workweeks. During their employment with Defendants, Named Plaintiff and other similarly situated direct care employees were not fully and properly paid for all overtime wages because Defendants required a daily meal break deduction, generally by automatically deducting a meal break from their recorded time worked, even when Named Plaintiff and other similarly situated direct care employees were unable to take a fully uninterrupted meal break; a shortened meal break; or had their meal break interrupted with substantive job duties. As a direct and proximate result of Defendants' conduct, Named Plaintiff, Opt-In Plaintiff, and the FLSA Collective Members have suffered and continue to suffer damages, says the suit. Named Plaintiff seeks unpaid overtime and other compensation, liquidated damages, interest and attorneys' fees, and all other remedies available for himself, Opt-In Plaintiff, and the FLSA Collective Members. Plaintiff Anthony Mayo is a United States citizen and a resident of the State of Ohio. He has been employed by Defendants since approximately October 2025. Defendants Meadow Falls Bath OPCO LLC, Meadow Falls Chagrin OPCO LLC, Meadow Falls Conneaut OPCO LLC, Meadow Falls Finneytown OPCO LLC, Meadow Falls Glenwillow OPCO LLC, Meadow Falls Madison OPCO LLC, Meadow Falls Middletown OPCO LLC, Meadow Falls North Royalton OPCO LLC, Meadow Falls Richmond OPCO LLC, Meadow Falls Rocky River OPCO LLC, Meadow Falls Saybrook OPCO LLC, and Meadow Falls Wickliffe OPCO LLC are engaged in providing assisted living and memory care services to their elderly clients.

META PLATFORMS, INC., Defendant, Case No. 3:26-cv-02632 (N.D. Cal., March 26, 2026) alleges violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

GUMPRECHT, LLC, v. MICHAEL GROFF and WESLEY DECATUR, Case No. 3:24-cv-01210-JAG-GLS (D.P.R.), the Hon. Judge Jay A. Garcia-Gregory entered an order granting in part and denying in part the Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment: The Court finds that the MSAs constitute unregistered securities under the Act and are thus voidable pursuant to 815 ILL. COMP. STAT. ANN 5/13. Consequently, the Plaintiff is entitled to recission of the MSAs. To determine the amount of damages, interests, costs, and attorney fees, the matter shall be referred to a U.S. Magistrate Judge for a hearing and a Report & Recommendation once the Parties have briefed the matter. The Defendants' Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment is granted in part and denied in part. The arguments therein are denied except for the arguments regarding Defendant Decatur’s individual liability and, thus, the claims against Defendant Decatur are dismissed with prejudice. The Court is unpersuaded by the Defendants' argument that the numerous references to Trade-In Miners in the MSAs show that these provisions were "part of the core transaction contemplated by the MSA." The overall structure of the MSAs was such that clients did not take active control of their investments because they did not need to and, at most, engaged in ministerial duties. The MSAs require no actions and impose no responsibilities on clients beyond the financial contribution. Ultimately, the MSAs paint a picture in which clients have "minimal control over the enterprise [and, thus,] the third prong of the Howey test is satisfied." Accordingly, the Court finds that the MSAs are securities subject to the Act. The Plaintiff has not put forth any evidence showing that Decatur participated or aided in signing Plaintiff as a Supplybit client and has, thus, failed to show that Decatur is subject to individual liability under the Act. Consequently, the claims against Decatur must be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. The Plaintiff argues that Defendants Michael Groff and Wesley Decatur sold unregistered security contracts, the Mining Services Agreements, in violation of the Illinois Securities Law Act of 1953.

MICROSOFT CORPORATION, Defendant, Case No. 2:26-cv-01031 (W.D. Wash., March 26, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant for violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The case arises from the Defendant's removal or failure to preserve machine-readable copyright management information (CMI), including creator attribution and license designation, associated with works created by independent artists and designers when those works were copied and processed for use in training large-scale generative artificial intelligence systems. By ingesting Creative Commons-licensed works into commercial AI training pipelines without preserving attribution information without complying with license conditions, and without authorization from the creators whose works were used, the Defendant has exploited the openness of the online 3D-model community while disregarding the legal obligations that govern the reuse of those works. The Plaintiff brings this action to enforce creators' rights and to ensure that their works that were incorporated into the Defendant's generative AI systems are afforded the protections guaranteed by federal copyright law.

Plaintiff and Class Members would not have allowed Defendants or anyone in Defendants' position to receive their PII/PHI had they known that Defendants would fail to implement industry standard protections for that sensitive information. As a result of Defendants' negligent and wrongful conduct, Plaintiff's and Class Members' highly confidential and sensitive Private Information was left exposed to cybercriminals. The unencrypted Private Information of Plaintiff and Class Members will end up for sale to identity thieves on the dark web, if it has not already, or it could simply fall into the hands of companies that will use the detailed Private Information for targeted marketing without the approval of Plaintiff and Class Members. Unauthorized individuals can now easily access the Private Information of Plaintiff and Class Members, says the complaint. The Plaintiff is a current patient of Defendant DHS and provided her Private Information, directly or indirectly, to Defendants as a condition of receiving medical services. MRO is a Norristown, Pennsylvania-based entity that provides management, administrative, and operating expertise and services primarily to the healthcare industry.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Andrew W.

MRO CORPORATION, MEDICOPY SERVICES, INC. and DEACONESS HEALTH SYSTEM, INC., Defendants, Case No. 2:26-cv-02010 (E.D. Pa., March 27, 2026) is a class action against the Defendants for failure to reasonably safeguard private information. The complaint relates that Deaconess partners with Defendants MediCopy and MRO to handle and manage its patients' Private Information, including the handling of "release of information" (ROI) requests. As an integral part of this business relationship, Deaconess transmitted its patients' Private Information to MediCopy and MRO and this information was stored and maintained by MediCopy and MRO. Between January 13, 2026 and February 2, 2026, unauthorized actors infiltrated MediCopy and MRO's cloud storage systems and successfully stole Private Information belonging to Deaconess' patients. On March 30, 2026, Deaconess began notifying affected patients, informing them that their names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, dates of service, medical record numbers, health insurance information, and medical records related to the treatment received at Deaconess Health System hospitals were compromised in the Breach. The Data Breach was caused by numerous failures and deficiencies on the part of Defendants, and Deaconess' current and former, Plaintiff and Class members, were damaged as a result, says the suit. Accordingly, Plaintiff brings this action on behalf of all those similarly situated to seek relief for the consequences of Defendants' failure to reasonably safeguard their Private Information; their failure to reasonably provide timely notification to Plaintiff and Class members that their Private Information had been compromised; and for Defendants' failure to inform Plaintiff and Class members concerning the status, safety, location, access, and protection of their Private Information. Plaintiff Allison McCallister is a patient of Deaconess. Plaintiff McCallister received a notice from Deaconess informing her that her Private Information was compromised in the Data Breach.

NEW ERA ENERGY & DIGITAL, INC., EVERETT WILLARD GRAY II, and MICHAEL J. RUGEN, Case No. 7:26-cv-00120 (W.D. Tex., April 1, 2026), is brought on behalf of persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired New Era Energy securities between November 6, 2024 and December 29, 2025, inclusive (the "Class Period"), pursuing claims against the Defendants under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). New Era Energy's primary revenue source has been its oil and gas wells located in Chaves County, New Mexico. The Company's oil and gas wells are operated by its subsidiary, Solis Partners. New Mexico requires inactive wells, meaning wells which no longer actively produce oil and gas, to be plugged and remediated. Failure to plug and remediate oil and gas wells poses a significant risk of air and water pollution. The duty to plug and remediate inactive wells falls to the well operator and are often referred to as "asset retirement obligations." The costs of complying with these obligations are reasonably calculable, foreseeable, and should be accounted for by oil and gas operators from the moment a well is drilled. Additionally, throughout the relevant period the Company has been engaged in a pivot to providing power and infrastructure for artificial intelligence ("AI") companies. The Company's purported flagship venture for this pivot is the Texas Critical Data Center, a reported large-scale AI and high-performance computing data center campus located in Ector County, outside Odessa, Texas. On December 12, 2025, at approximately 10:00 AM EST, market research media outlet Fuzzy Panda Research published a report (the "FP Report") The FP Report alleges, among other things, that "of NUAI's 406 gas wells, 346 were acquired from companies that went bankrupt operating the very same wells, including 87 wells from the company E. Will Gray II was CEO of and bankrupted himself, Remnant Oil." On this news, New Era's stock price fell $0.25 per share, or 6.9%, to close at $3.35 on December 12, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume. On December 29, 2025, at approximately 12:30 PM EST, a research firm named Hunterbrook Media reported that the New Mexico Attorney General filed a lawsuit against New Era Energy, its subsidiary Solis Partners, LLC, and Gray, among others, (the "HBM Report"). On this news, New Era's stock price fell $1.87, or 41%, to close at $2.69 per share on December 29, 2025, on unusually heavy trading volume. Throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: the Company overstated its progress in its permitting and regulatory filings for its flagship Texas Critical Data Centers project; the Company was involved in a fraudulent scheme "to pocket revenues from hundreds of oil and gas wells in New Mexico" by transferring wells among related entities and then placing liability-bearing companies into bankruptcy to avoid plugging and remediation costs; that, as a result, the Company's financial results were false and/or misleading; and that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. As a result of Defendants' wrongful acts and omissions, and the precipitous decline in the market value of the Company's securities, Plaintiff and other Class members have suffered significant losses and damages, says the complaint. The Plaintiff purchased New Era Energy securities during the Class Period. New Era Energy, formerly known as New Era Helium is an oil and natural gas company.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Joe Kendall, Esq.

NVIDIA CORPORATION, Defendant, Case No. 3:26-cv-02647 (N.D. Cal., March 26, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant for violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The case arises from the Defendant's removal or failure to preserve machine-readable copyright management information (CMI), including creator attribution and license designation, associated with works created by independent artists and designers when those works were copied and processed for use in training large-scale generative artificial intelligence systems. By ingesting Creative Commons-licensed works into commercial AI training pipelines without preserving attribution information without complying with license conditions, and without authorization from the creators whose works were used, the Defendant has exploited the openness of the online 3D-model community while disregarding the legal obligations that govern the reuse of those works. The Plaintiff brings this action to enforce creators' rights and to ensure that their works that were incorporated into the Defendant's generative AI systems are afforded the protections guaranteed by federal copyright law.

OPENLOOP HEALTH, INC., Case No. 4:26-cv-00149-RGE-SBJ (S.D. Iowa. April 1, 2026), is brought against Defendant for its negligent failure to protect and safeguard Plaintiffs' and Class Members' highly sensitive personally identifiable ("PII") information and protected health information ("PHI"), culminating in a massive and preventable data breach (the "Data Breach" or "Breach"). The Plaintiffs and Class Members provided their Private Information, directly or indirectly, to Defendant with the mutual understanding that Defendant would safeguard their Private Information from unauthorized disclosure and would implement sufficient cybersecurity safeguards to protect such information In providing their Private Information to Defendant, Plaintiffs and the Class Members reasonably expected this sophisticated business entity to keep their Private Information confidential and secured from unauthorized disclosures, to use this information for business purposes only, and to disclose it only as authorized. Defendant failed to do so, resulting in the unauthorized disclosure of Plaintiffs' and Class Members' Private Information in the Breach. The Defendant failed to adequately protect Plaintiffs' and Class Members' confidential Private Information and failed to ensure that it would maintain adequate safeguards to protect its patients' Private Information. Due to Defendant's negligent failure to secure and protect Plaintiffs' and Class Members' Private Information, cybercriminals have stolen and obtained everything they need to commit identity theft and wreak havoc on the financial and personal lives of thousands of individuals. As a result of Defendant's negligence and deficient data security practices, cybercriminals easily infiltrated Defendant's inadequately protected computer systems and stole the Private Information of Plaintiffs and Class Members., says the complaint.

ORANGE FREIGHT CORP., and NARDEEP SINGH a/k/a Happe Singh, Case No. 1:26-cv-00316-MWM (S.D. Ohio, March 27, 2026), is brought for violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"), the Ohio Minimum Fair Wage Standards Act ("MFWSA"), and the Ohio Miscellaneous Labor Provisions ("MLP"), arising from Defendants' various willful, malicious, and unlawful employment policies, patterns, and/or practices, to recover from Defendants: unpaid minimum wages; liquidated damages equal to, or prejudgment interest on, unpaid minimum wages; postjudgment interest; reasonable attorney fees; and costs. Throughout Plaintiff's employment, Defendants failed to post notices required by Section 516.4 of Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations implementing the FLSA, in a willful bid to keep employes ignorant of their rights under that statute. During Plaintiff's employment, Defendants paid Plaintiff off the books, by Zelle transfers from Orange Freight, in a willful bid confuse Plaintiff as to his amount of compensation earned and received, and in a willful bid to deceive Ohio and/or federal tax and/or regulatory authorities. From June 25, 2025 through August 15, 2025, Plaintiff regularly worked about one hundred one and one-half (101.5) hours per week. Additionally, Happe had promised Plaintiff that Defendants would reimburse Plaintiff for out-of-pocket expenses related to maintenance, upkeep, repair, and refueling of the truck he drove for Defendants. However, Defendants did not reimburse Plaintiff at all, for any of his out-of-pocket expenses. The Defendants knowingly, willfully, maliciously, and in bad faith flouted the provisions of the FLSA, as evidenced by their failure to pay Plaintiff his promised salary for July and August, 2025, their failure to pay Plaintiff any money for August 2025, their payment of compensation off the books, and their failure to post required notices summarizing the provisions of the FLSA, says the complaint.

Defendants' failure to properly state Plaintiff's regular rate and overtime rate upon hire, and failure to properly state Plaintiff's correct overtime rate of pay each pay period, prevented Plaintiff from knowing to what extent he had been underpaid and seeking payment for the precise amount of his unpaid wages. As a result, Plaintiff was deprived of his income for longer than he would have been had he been able to timely raise his underpayment earlier. Plaintiff was unable to determine how much he had been underpaid throughout his employment.

Peachybbies Slime LLC, Defendant, Case No. 1:26-cv-03549 (N.D. Ill., March 31, 2026) is a civil rights action against the Defendant for its failure to design, construct, maintain, and operate its Website https://peachybbies.com to be fully accessible to and independently usable by Echols and other blind or visually-impaired individuals, in violation of Echols' rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The complaint relates that Echols has made an attempt to complete a purchase on the Website. However, while navigating the Website using her screen reader software, she encountered multiple accessibility barriers that prevented her from completing her purchase. The Website contains access barriers that denied Echols full and equal access. As such, Defendant discriminates, and will continue in the future to discriminate against Echols and members of the proposed class and subclass on the basis of disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, accommodations and/or opportunities of the Website in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act and/or its implementing regulations, says the suit. Echols seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in Defendant's policies, practices, and procedures so that Defendant's Website will become and remain accessible to blind and visually-impaired consumers. This complaint also seeks compensatory damages to compensate Class Members for having been subjected to unlawful discrimination. Plaintiff Tazinique Echols is a visually-impaired and legally blind person who requires screen-reading software to read website content using the computer. Defendant Peachybbies Slime LLC provides to the public the Website, which provides consumers access to an array of goods and services, including, the ability to purchase a selection of slime products including scented slimes, textured slimes, slime kits, add-ins, charms, themed collections, and sensory play accessories.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Alison Chan, Esq. 4903 Avenue N, Brooklyn, NY 11234 Office: 844-731-3343 Direct: 929-442-2154 E-mail: Achan@ealg.law PERIMADE & CO: Blind Users Can't Access Online Store, Ford Claims ----------------------------------------------------------------- SANDRA FORD, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiff v.

According to the complaint, the Defendant has failed to design, construct, maintain, and operate its website to be fully accessible to and independently usable by the Plaintiff and other blind or visually impaired persons. The Defendant's website, https://www.perimade.com, contains access barriers which hinder the Plaintiff and Class members to enjoy the benefits of their online goods, content, and services offered to the public through the website.

Prada USA Corp., Case No. 1:26-cv-03638 (N.D.

The Defendant is denying blind and visually impaired individuals throughout the United States equal access to the goods and services the Defendant provides to their non-disabled customers through the Website. The Defendant's denial of full and equal access to its Website, and therefore denial of its products and services offered, and in conjunction with its physical locations, is a violation of the Plaintiff's rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA"). Because the Defendant's Website is not equally accessible to blind and visually impaired consumers, it violates the ADA. The Plaintiff seeks a permanent injunction to cause a change in Defendant's policies, practices, and procedures to that Defendant's Website will become and remain accessible to blind and visually-impaired consumers. This complaint also seeks compensatory damages to compensate Class Members for having been subjected to unlawful discrimination, says the complaint. The Plaintiff is a visually-impaired and legally blind person who requires screen-reading software to read website content using the computer. The Defendant provides to the public the Website, which provides consumers access to an array of goods and services, including the ability to purchase an extensive range of footwear and accessories, such as boots, slippers, loafers, sandals, sneakers, lace-up shoes, bags, wallets, belts, hats, gloves, umbrellas, and shoe care products.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: David B.

PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS, LLC, Case No. 6:25-cv-06225-FPG (W.D.N.Y.), the Hon. Judge Frank Geraci, Jr. entered an order denying the Defendant's motion to dismiss the Plaintiffs' complaint. The Defendant shall answer the Plaintiffs' complaint by April 23, 2026. The Defendant has raised no argument that it is incapable of providing the relief Plaintiffs currently seek; that is, it has not explained how it would be unable to provide awards and damages based on its own alleged violations of the statutes at issue or why it would be unable to provide the requested injunctive relief, which is only related to its own conduct. As such, there is no merit to Defendant's arguments that the relief the Plaintiffs seek cannot be accorded in the absence of the Consumers. Consequently, the Court concludes that the Consumers are not necessary parties pursuant to Rule 19(a)(1)(A). As Defendant has not established that the Consumers are necessary parties under Rule 19(a)(1)(A) or 19(a)(1)(B), the Court need not address whether the parties are indispensable under Rule 19(b), and Defendant’s motion to dismiss for failure to join an indispensable party is denied. On April 23, 2025, Plaintiffs brought the instant action in this Court individually and on behalf of those similarly situated pursuant to the FLSA, NYLL, and NYCRR. The Plaintiffs allege that they have not been paid accurately for all work hours since becoming employed by Defendant and that Defendant has engaged in a policy and practice of "rejecting wage payment [for] legitimate work hours" as well as a policy and practice of failing to pay "minimum wages, overtime compensation, call-in pay, split shift pay, and spread of hours pay." They also allege that Defendant has failed to pay a recruitment bonus as an earned wage, failed to comply with the notice and pay transparency requirements of the New York Wage Theft Prevention Act, and failed to comply with timely wage payment law under the NYLL.

ROBLOX CORPORATION, Defendant, Case No. 3:26-cv-02642-LJC (N.D. Cal., March 26, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant for violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The case arises from the Defendant's removal or failure to preserve machine-readable copyright management information (CMI), including creator attribution and license designation, associated with works created by independent artists and designers when those works were copied and processed for use in training large-scale generative artificial intelligence (AI) systems. By ingesting Creative Commons-licensed works into commercial AI training pipelines without preserving attribution information without complying with license conditions, and without authorization from the creators whose works were used, the Defendant has exploited the openness of the online 3D-model community while disregarding the legal obligations that govern the reuse of those works. The Plaintiff brings this action to enforce creators' rights and to ensure that their works that were incorporated into the Defendant's generative AI systems are afforded the protections guaranteed by federal copyright law.

Cal., March 27, 2026) is a class action addressing a profound breach of consumer trust by Defendant, which has misled thousands, if not millions, through its product labeled "MEDITERRANEAN OLIVE OIL BLEND". The Plaintiffs bring this action individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated to hold Defendant accountable for its unlawful, unfair, and fraudulent labeling, advertising, and sale of its "MEDITERRANEAN OLIVE OIL BLEND," and to obtain restitution, damages, and injunctive relief necessary to prevent ongoing deception. According to the complaint, the Mislabeled Product contains no detectable olive oil and consists entirely of soybean oil, despite the "MEDITERRANEAN OLIVE OIL BLEND" branding, prominent depiction of a cluster of olives, and small-font label on the bottle listing "soya oil, canola oil, extra virgin olive oil" as the ingredients. This misconduct violates California law in three critical ways: (1) the failure to label the product as "mixed vegetable oil" as required; (2) the omission of definitive blend proportions; and (3) the complete absence of olive oil. These violations demand accountability for a company that has prioritized profit over people. In addition to violating California Health & Safety Code, the Defendant's conduct constitutes false advertising, unfair competition, and deceptive business practices in violation of California Business & Professions, common-law fraud and deceit, breach of the implied warranty of merchantability, and unjust enrichment. These interrelated violations form a single, uniform course of deceptive conduct affecting consumers nationwide, adds the complaint. The Defendant's actions reflect a troubling disregard for consumer protection and public health, exploiting trust in olive oil's reputation to boost profits, notes the complaint. The Defendant continues to label, market, and sell this product, using the same misrepresentations, thereby threatening continued harm to consumers absent judicial intervention. The Plaintiffs, therefore, bring this action on behalf of themselves and a class of similarly situated consumers nationwide and in California for: Violation of California Health & Safety Code; Violation of California Business & Professions Code; Fraud and Deceit under California common law; Breach of the Implied Warranty of Merchantability, California Commercial Code; and Unjust Enrichment/Restitution under the common law of California and the United States. Defendant Soofer Co., Inc., d/b/a Sadaf Foods manufactures, distributes, and sells food products, including the Mislabeled Product, both directly through its website and through third-party distributors, wholesalers, and retailers throughout the United States.[BN] The Plaintiffs are represented by: Joshua B.

Md., March 26, 2026) is a class-action suit seeking damages and injunctive relief under the laws of the five states of Maryland, California, Florida, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, for the Defendants' violations of state laws by disclosing confidential information to unauthorized third parties including, at least, Google, LLC and the LinkedIn Corporation and/or their affiliates. According to the complaint, the Defendants (collectively referred to as "TIAA"), as an interrelated enterprise with multiple subsidiary entities, is one of the largest financial institutions in America. TIAA provides investment, retirement account management, debt management, and other financial services to more than five million customers nationwide. Among other things, TIAA offers "retirement calculators and other financial tools" for creating budgets, calculating retirement needs, saving for a child's future education, and other financial planning tasks. TIAA touts the benefits of using its online systems, which require consumers to communicate extensive and highly-sensitive personal financial information to TIAA, such as an individual's income, savings, investments and other assets, mortgagers and loans, bank account and pension account balance, insurances and annuities, credit card and other debts, and other information relating to an individual's personal finances. This Confidential Information is communicated directly to TIAA so that it may provide "expert insights, and real-world strategies for building your financial future." As a result, TIAA operates as a "Financial Institution" as defined by state and federal laws and is thus subject to state and federal laws that require Financial Institutions to protect customers' Confidential Information. Despite its professed mission to serve and protect its customers, TIAA has brazenly violated the privacy rights of its customers -- citizens of the Five States -- who have entrusted TIAA with guiding them through retirement, asserts the complaint. TIAA breached that trust by disclosing Plaintiffs' Confidential Information to Unauthorized Third-Party Companies. Through these surreptitious and nonconsensual disclosures to Unauthorized Third Parties, TIAA not only betrayed the very customers it claims to safeguard, but also violated state laws that strictly prohibit such disclosures, adds the complaint. The complaint alleges that the Plaintiffs have suffered injury because of TIAA's conduct and are entitled to statutory damages, punitive damages, and attorney's fees and costs to compensate them for their injuries as provided by state law. Plaintiffs are educators, academic researchers, teachers, healthcare workers, non-profit organizers, government workers, and others who entrust their Private Financial Information to TIAA.[BN] The Plaintiffs are represented by: Douglas M.

These practices have resulted in significant financial burdens on litigants exercising their constitutional right of access to courts and appellate review, says the complaint.

UNILEVER UNITED STATES INC., Case No. 1:25-cv-10028-CM (S.D.N.Y.), the Hon. Judge entered an order granting Unilever's motion to dismiss Plaintiff's complaint: There is no dispute that Unilever engaged in consumer-oriented conduct. Unilever's motion to dismiss Plaintiff's GBL claims focuses on the second and third elements. Specifically, Unilever argues that Plaintiff fails to plausibly allege a material misleading statement or that she suffered a concrete injury as a result of the allegedly deceptive act or practice. Because Plaintiff does not plausibly allege that Unilever's conduct was materially misleading, her claims under GBL Sections 349 and 350 must be dismissed. And to the extent her claims are predicated on purported misrepresentations on Unilever's webpage - which she never saw - that dismissal is with prejudice. The Plaintiff filed her complaint, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, on December 3, 2025. Unilever is the only Defendant. She seeks certification of a nationwide class, a New York class, and a multi-state class under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23. The Plaintiff alleges that Unilever's marketing of three skincare products as "retinol" products is false and misleading because the products do not deliver skincare benefits commonly associated with retinol, such as wrinkle reduction and dark spot elimination. The Defendant sells a wide range of consumer goods, including food and beverages, personal care products, and beauty and wellness items.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, Case No. 1:22-cv-03442-RBW (D.D.C.), the Hon. Judge Walton entered an order granting the Defendant's motion to dismiss. The Plaintiff's argument, therefore, is that the mere receipt of fraudulent information from "identity thieves" is an intentional and willful violation of subsection (e)(2). The plaintiff provides no caselaw to support this theory, and the Court is aware of none. The Court therefore concludes that unwittingly receiving information from an impostor or identity thief is not a willful and intentional violation of subsection (e)(2) and must therefore dismiss the plaintiff's claims based on that subsection. The Plaintiff alleges that his father submitted fraudulent student loan applications listing the plaintiff as an endorser and that the defendant violated the Privacy Act in its processing and handling of the allegedly fraudulent student loans. The Complaint defines these putative class members as: "All natural persons who (a) submitted an identity theft report under penalty of perjury to [the d]efendant within the two years before the filing of this action; (b) where the identity theft report identified one or more direct student loans as resulting from identity theft; (c) where [the d]efendant did not update its information systems to discharge the person from any obligation on the contested loans within three months of receiving that person's identity theft report."

Int'l Trade, April 3, 2026) is a class action against the Defendant for declaratory relief and unjust enrichment. The case arises from the Defendants' retention of windfall profits generated by the unlawful tariffs imposed by the Trump Administration under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). According to the complaint, the windfall is a direct result of the Defendants' systematically passing on the costs of IEEPA tariffs to individuals and entities, including the Plaintiff. The suit seeks a judgment that the IEEPA tariffs are illegal, that they cannot be enforced, and that all monies collected can and should be refunded without delay, with interest.

VALLEY FAMILY HEALTH CARE, INC., Case No. 1:26-cv-00187-AKB (D. Idaho, March 27, 2026), is brought on behalf of all persons who entrusted Defendant with sensitive Personally Identifiable Information ("PII") and Protected Health Information ("PHI", and collectively with "PII", "Private Information") that was impacted in a data breach occurring in or around March 2026 (the "Data Breach" or the "Breach"), arising from Defendant's failure to properly secure and safeguard Private Information that was entrusted to it, and its accompanying responsibility to store and transfer that information. The Defendant has not issued individualized notice to those affected by the Data Breach. The Defendant failed to take precautions designed to keep individuals' Private Information secure. The Defendant owed Plaintiff and Class Members a duty to take all reasonable and necessary measures to keep the Private Information it collected safe and secure from unauthorized access. The Defendant solicited, collected, used, and derived a benefit from the Private Information, yet breached its duty by failing to implement or maintain adequate security practices. The sensitive nature of the data that may have been exposed through the Data Breach signifies that Plaintiff and Class Members have suffered irreparable harm. Plaintiff and Class Members have lost the ability to control their private information and are subject to an increased risk of identity theft. The Defendant failed to use reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the sensitive, unencrypted information it maintained for Plaintiff and Class Members, causing the exposure of Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information. As a result of Defendant's inadequate digital security and notice process, Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information was exposed to criminals. Plaintiff and the Class Members have suffered and will suffer injuries including: financial losses caused by misuse of their Private Information; the loss or diminished value of their Private Information as a result of the Data Breach; lost time associated with detecting and preventing identity theft; and theft of personal and financial information, says the complaint. The Plaintiff and Class Members were required to give their sensitive and confidential Private Information to Defendant.

VITAL FARMS, INC., RUSSEL DIEZ CANSECO, and THILO WREDE, Case No. 1:26-cv-00738 (W.D. Tex., March 27, 2026), is brought on behalf of persons or entities who purchased or otherwise acquired publicly traded Vital Farms securities between May 8, 2025 and February 26, 2026, inclusive (the "Class Period"), seeking to recover compensable damages caused by Defendants' violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The Class Period starts on May 8, 2025, when Vital Farms filed its quarterly report on a Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2025 of fiscal year 2025 ("1Q 2025 10-Q"). Attached to the 1Q 2025 10-Q were certifications pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("SOX") signed by Defendants Diez-Canseco and Wrede attesting to the accuracy of financial reporting, the disclosure of any material changes to the Company's internal control over financial reporting and the disclosure of all fraud. The statements were false and/or misleading at the time they were made because: Defendants emphasized the importance of the ERP implementation to Vital Farms' operations and that it was "fundamental to the operational improvements we are planning"; stated the implementation of the ERP would require the time and attention of "management and key crew members"; indeed, Defendant Wrede stated that Vital Farms pushed back the expected implementation date of the ERP to "ensure flawless switchover"; given the stated importance of and management's knowledge of the issues surrounding the implementation of the ERP, Defendants knew, or were reckless in not knowing, that implementing the ERP would result in delays of shipments and/or production; Defendants did not warn investors that implementing the ERP would result in delays in shipments and/or production, instead merely couching it as a hypothetical in their risk disclosures; and as a result of the delay in shipments and/or production, Vital Farms would lose important retail shelf space, which would negatively impact Vital Farms' business and operations. As a result of Defendants' wrongful acts and omissions, and the precipitous decline in the market value of the Company's common shares, Plaintiff and other Class members have suffered significant losses and damages, says the complaint. The Plaintiff purchased Vital Farms securities during the Class Period and was economically damaged thereby. Vital Farms purports to be an ethically minded food company that became the leading U.S. brand of pasture-raised eggs and second largest U.S. egg brand by retail dollar sales.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Stuart L.

WAGNER SPRAY TECH CORPORATION, Defendant, Case No. 0:26-cv-02073 (D. Minn., March 27, 2026) arises from Wagner Spray Tech Corporation's sale of 900 Series Power Steamers with a dangerous and undisclosed burn hazard. This is a class action lawsuit against the Defendant regarding the manufacture, distribution, and sale of its Wagner 900 Series Power Steamers, Model Numbers 905e Auto Steamer, 915e On-Demand Power Steamer, and 925e Steam Machine Elite Steamer. Wagner imported the Affected Products that were manufactured in China. The Affected Products were manufactured and distributed with a present and uniform defect in their hose and nozzle components that could overheat and expel hot water or steam during use, creating a serious burn hazard, but Wagner did not disclose the defects to consumers. Plaintiff Graziano alleges that, during ordinary use, the product's hose can become excessively hot, and the nozzle assembly can expel hot water or steam, creating a foreseeable risk of burns to consumers who handle the device as intended. Wagner failed to provide any specific safeguard, instruction, or warning addressing the defective design and risk of unexpected hot water discharge from the hose or nozzle assembly, notes the complaint. Wagner did not adequately disclose the hazard at the point of sale, and the defect later resulted in a nationwide Recall. As a result of Wagner's alleged conduct, Plaintiff Graziano suffered economic loss, including the difference between the amount he paid and the value of the Wagner Model 905e Auto Steamer, as received, the complaint adds. Accordingly, Plaintiff brings this action individually and on behalf of a Class of similarly situated individuals for equitable relief and to recover damages and restitution for: (i) violations of New York General Business Law ("GBL"), (iii) unjust enrichment, (iv) negligent design, (v) negligent failure to warn, (vi) negligence, (vii) breach of implied warranty of merchantability, and (iix) Minnesota Prevention of Consumer Fraud Act. Plaintiff Graziano purchased a Wagner Model 905e Auto Steamer for approximately $124.71 from Amazon on January 12, 2023. Defendant Wagner Spray Tech Corporation designs, manufactures, markets, distributes, advertises, warrants, and sells consumer home improvement products, including steam cleaners such as the Affected Products, throughout the United States, including in New York.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Robert K.

WOUND TECHNOLOGY NETWORK, INC., Case No. 6:26-cv-00717 (M.D. Fla., April 1, 2026), is brought against Defendant for its failure to properly secure Plaintiff's and Class Members' personally identifiable information ("PII") and protected health information ("PHI") (collectively, "Private Information"). On December 6, 2025, Defendant became aware of a cybersecurity incident occurring between December 6, 2025, and December 9, 2025, where an unauthorized actor accessed Defendant's network and systems and exfiltrated Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information ("Data Breach"). On March 16, 2026, Defendant began sending individualized notice letters ("Notice") to victims of the Data Breach, informing them that their Private Information had been exfiltrated in the Data Breach. The Defendant knowingly obtained Plaintiff's and Class Members' sensitive Private Information and had a resulting duty to securely maintain that information in confidence. Plaintiff and Class Members would not have provided their Private Information to Defendant if they had known that Defendant would not ensure that it used adequate security measures. By taking possession and control of Plaintiff's and Class Members' Private Information, Defendant assumed a duty to securely store and protect it. The Plaintiff seeks to remedy these harms individually and on behalf of all other similarly situated individuals whose Private Information was exposed in the Data Breach. Plaintiff seeks remedies including compensation for time spent responding to the Data Breach and other types of harm, free credit monitoring and identity theft insurance for a substantial period, and injunctive relief including substantial improvements to Defendant's data security policies and practices, says the complaint. The Plaintiff and Class Members were required to provide Defendant with their Private Information in connection with the services Defendant provides. The Defendant is a healthcare technology company, specializing in advanced wound care, that provides "innovative technology, evidence based wound care pathways, and a proprietary formulary of wound care products" to its healthcare provider and health plan partners.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Jeff Ostrow, Esq.
