BASK & LATHER CO., Defendant, Case No. 26-cv-6741 (S.D.N.Y., Aug. 6, 2026) is a class action arising from the Defendant's practice of automatically adding junk fees to the orders of its consumers. According to the complaint, B&L advertises free or paid shipping depending on the dollar value of purchased items but it surreptitiously added junk fees to the purchases on top of the free or paid shipping in the form of Premium Shipping Protection. The fees are automatically added to consumers' shopping carts and the opt-out option is intentionally designed to be subtle enough to go unnoticed by consumers, says the suit.

BLAIZE HOLDINGS, INC., DINAKAR MUNAGALA, and HARMINDER SEHMI, Defendants, Case No. 2:26-cv-08563 (C.D. Cal., August 4, 2026) is a federal securities class action on behalf of a class consisting of all persons and entities other than Defendants who purchased or otherwise acquired publicly traded Blaize securities between July 18, 2025 and April 28, 2026, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"). Blaize Holdings, Inc. describes itself as a leader in programmable, energy-efficient edge AI computing. The complaint relates that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Blaize announced transactions with entities wholly unequipped to conduct meaningful business in order to create an appearance of growth; (2) Blaize improperly recognized revenue; and (3); as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times. On April 28, 2026, Pelican Way Research published a report entitled "Blaize AI: Running Up The Share Price Based on a Seemingly Bogus Deal, Conveniently Timed for Massive Dilution." The Report, among other things, stated how Blaize had not collected meaningful revenues from deals that are alleged to have been faked, and that the company has a history of similar questionable deals. On this news, the price of Blaize stock fell by $0.26 per share, or 12.03%, to close at $1.90 on April 28, 2026. 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 suit. Plaintiff Christopher Daniel purchased the Company's securities at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period and was damaged upon the revelation of the alleged corrective disclosure. He seeks to recover compensable damages caused by Defendants' violations of the federal securities laws and to pursue remedies under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Defendant Dinakar Munagala co-founded Blaize and served as CEO at all relevant times. Defendant Harminder Sehmi served as Chief Financial Officer.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Laurence M.

DRAFTKINGS, INC. and GUS III, LLC d/b/a DRAFTKINGS PREDICTIONS, Defendants, Case No. 1:26-cv-13525-DLC (D. Mass., August 3, 2026) is a class action against the Defendants for misleading consumers into believing they are participating in a financial market rather than placing bets. DraftKings, Inc. and GUS III, LLC d/b/a DraftKings Predictions (collectively, "DraftKings") is a U.S. online and app-based sports gambling platform with licensed mobile and/or retail sportsbook operations in many states across the country. The complaint relates that there are a number of states that have not granted DraftKings a license to operate a sportsbook. These states either outright prohibit sports gambling or require sportsbook operators to obtain a license but have not issued a license to DraftKings. After years of not operating in these states, DraftKings has now attempted to circumvent the laws of these states banning its sportsbook operations. Through its wholly owned subsidiary, GUS III, LLC d/b/a DraftKings Predictions, DraftKings now operates "DraftKings Predictions" in these states, offering online and app-based sports betting that is masqueraded as "event contracts" in states where unlicensed sports betting is categorically illegal. By operating an unlicensed sports betting platform, DraftKings has violated Massachusetts gambling laws and unjustly enriched itself at the expense of consumers, asserts the complaint. The Plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and a Class of similarly situated individuals, bring this lawsuit to recover amounts that DraftKings Predictions has unlawfully taken from them, as well as costs and attorneys' fees. According to the complaint, the Plaintiffs, before they wagered and lost money, DraftKings did not disclose that Predictions operated as an unlicensed sportsbook, that DraftKings and its affiliates could and did take positions opposite their own, or that DraftKings profited on every transaction regardless of outcome. Plaintiffs Jason Gordon, Arie Weissmann and Johnny Harris were enrolled in DraftKings Predictions through the DraftKings app.[BN] The Plaintiffs are represented by: Scott C. Harris, Esq.

Dismissal is without further leave to amend, because further amendment would be futile, and without prejudice. The Motion to Dismiss is denied in part as to the prayer for restitution. Estoppel is inapplicable, and the motion to compel arbitration is denied, the Court says. The Court adds that, at the pleading stage, and in light of Guthy-Renker's failure to address the issue, Joyce has adequately pled that her legal remedies are inadequate. Joyce alleges that Guthy-Renker engages in a deceptive discount pricing scheme on its website, www.subd.com, by listing false strikethrough prices and fake limited-time sales.

Ohio, August 3, 2026) is a collective and class action against the Defendant for its failure to pay its employees overtime wages, seeking all available relief under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. Defendant The Lubrizol Corporation is a global chemical company that develops chemical solutions for a variety of industries, including agriculture, energy, and resources; beauty and personal care; building and construction; coatings; consumer goods and home care; electronics and IT; healthcare; industrial; and transportation. Plaintiff Edward Harbie worked for Defendant at its facility in Avon Lake, Ohio, as an hourly, non-exempt employee as defined in the FLSA from 2006 until October 2023. His most recent role was that of a Chemical Operator. The complaint alleges that the Named Plaintiff and Defendant's other hourly production/manufacturing employees are hourly, non-exempt employees who are entitled to overtime compensation. They are involved in the manufacture and production of Defendant's various chemical solutions. As such, they routinely handle chemicals and other hazardous materials while performing their respective job duties. Moreover, the Named Plaintiff and the FLSA Collective Members regularly worked in excess of 40 hours in workweeks. Defendant violated the FLSA with respect to Named Plaintiff and the FLSA Collective by failing to compensate them for all overtime wages earned because of Defendant's policies and/or practices.

MERCEDES-BENZ USA, LLC, Case No. 2:22-cv-08130-FLA-AJR (C.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Fernando L. Aenlle-Rocha entered an order granting in part and denying in part Mercedes-Benz's motion for summary judgment and denying in part the motion for leave to file notice of supplemental authority. The Plaintiffs' evidence that the alleged Defect first manifested in Jamil and Khabazian’s vehicles less than one year prior to the filing of the Complaint is sufficient to establish the existence of a genuine dispute regarding the timeliness of these Plaintiffs' claims under the discovery rule. The Even if the court were to assume arguendo that Roberson had physically visited MBUSA authorized dealerships, Roberson did not provide any details of any such visits or identify any interactions or conversations with MBUSA salespeople or other employees. See id. This testimony is too vague to establish a plausible method of disclosure. The court denied Defendant's Motion to Strike on March 31, 2026. Accordingly, the court denies in part the subject Motion on this basis, finding genuine disputes of material fact exist as to whether Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with the M274-LS engine suffer from the Defect alleged. According to Plaintiffs, their vehicles manifested a defect that is present in all Mercedes-Benz vehicles with M274- LS engines, which causes the pistons of the engine to be prone to premature failure, and requires replacement of the entire engine if it manifests. The Plaintiffs further allege Defendant was aware of the Defect but failed to disclose it to them and other putative class members before they purchased their vehicles. Mercedes-Benz is responsible for the distribution, marketing and customer service for all Mercedes-Benz products.

The Injunctive Relief Class is defined as: "All student-athletes who compete on, competed on, or will compete on a Division I athletic team at any time between June 15, 2020 through the end of the Injunctive Relief Settlement Term." The Plaintiffs filed their Class Action Complaint on July 8, 2026. They filed the instant motion, and their class certification motion, on July 15, 2026. The Court ordered expedited briefing on both motions. The Plaintiffs are athletes who have competed in four seasons of collegiate sports. They seek to compete in a fifth season while enrolled as full-time students during their fifth year of college. The Defendant governs college athletics across more than 1,100 schools in the US and Canada.

NEW DAY PERSONAL CARE SERVICES, INC., Case No. 6:25-cv-01533-RRS-DJA (W.D. La.), the Hon. Judge Ayo recommends that Anderson case be consolidated with first-filed civil matter (Case No. 6:25-CV-1424) for all purposes. The Court further recommends that the Plaintiffs' motion to certify class originally filed in civil action number 6:26-cv-1533, be denied as premature. Considering the foregoing, it is further recommended that a copy of this Report and Recommendation and any resulting Judgment be filed in both civil actions. A party may respond to another party's objections within fourteen days after being served with of a copy of any objections or responses to the district judge at the time of filing. Failure to file written objections to the proposed factual findings and/or the proposed legal conclusions reflected in the report and recommendation within fourteen days following the date of its service, or within the time frame authorized by Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b), shall bar an aggrieved party from attacking either the factual findings or the legal conclusions accepted by the district court, except upon grounds of plain error. No party has alleged that they would be prejudiced by consolidation and this Court finds no risk of prejudice or confusion. However, the undersigned notes that denial of consolidation risks inconsistent verdicts as to common issues of law and fact. Similarly, no party alleges consolidation will result in an unfair advantage and this Court observes no factors which would tend to place a party at an unfair advantage in this matter. Consolidation will certainly conserve resources of the court and the parties in adjudicating the common issues of law and fact among these cases. Accordingly, the Court finds that the considered factors weigh in favor of consolidation of the subject suits for all purposes and will recommend that the Anderson case be consolidated as a member case under Willis, since it was the first suit filed. Based on the infancy of the case and the recent consolidation, the undersigned finds that certification of a collective action would be premature and prejudicial to the parties of the consolidated matter. Therefore, the court recommends that the Plaintiffs' motion for collective certification be denied without prejudice. The putative class actions at issue allege violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"). Specifically, the Plaintiffs allege that Defendant New Day failed to pay its employees overtime, which they assert is required under the FLSA. The Defendant is a non-medical home care agency.

NORTHBAY HEALTHCARE CORPORATION; THE NORTHBAY HEALTHCARE RETIREMENT PLAN COMMITTEE; SAGEVIEW ADVISORY GROUP; and John and Jane Does 1-30 in their capacities as fiduciaries, Defendants, Case No. 2:26-at-01308 (E.D. Cal., August 4, 2026) is a class action against the Defendants for breach of the duty of prudence and failure to adequately monitor other fiduciaries under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The case arises from the Defendants' breach of their fiduciary duties in the management, operation, and administration of the NorthBay Healthcare 403(B) Retirement Plan. According to the complaint, the Defendants breached their fiduciary duties in two ways. First, the Defendants consistently retained the T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund Class I throughout the Class Period, despite this fund having proven that it could not beat its own chosen index benchmark, while it simultaneously underperformed its peers under nearly all Modern Portfolio Theory investment metrics and, consequently, in terms of returns, thus violating a basic investment principle of providing no expectation of additional returns in exchange for increased risk. Second, the Defendants failed to monitor the Plan's recordkeeping and administrative expenses. As a result of the Defendants' failures, the Plan incurred $11 million to $31 million in performance loss damages and $2.3 million in excess recordkeeping fees over the Class Period, says the suit. NorthBay Healthcare Corporation is a nonprofit health care organization, headquartered in Fairfield, California. SageView Advisory Group is a financial advisory services provider based in California.

According to the complaint, the Plaintiffs and the Classes paid supra-competitive prices for NPK Fertilizers as Defendants have conspired to artificially inflate and fix the prices.

According to the complaint, the Defendants facilitate the sale of illegal and unregulated sports event contracts to their customers through their mobile application ("app") and website. Robinhood's customers are led to believe that sports event contracts are a modern, sophisticated form of investing on a federally regulated commodities exchange that can be accessed on a phone.

Security Services Holdings, LLC, et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-04561-JAV (S.D.N.Y.), the Hon. Judge Vargas entered an order conditionally certifying a class for settlement purposes, approving the parties' proposed notice and method of notification, and preliminarily approving the Settlement Agreement. The Court further entered an order granting the motion to appoint Rissmiller PLLC as Class Counsel and the Plaintiff Mossiah as Class Representative. The Court finds that the mailing and distribution of the Settlement Notice substantially in the manner and form set forth in the Settlement Agreement constitutes the best notice practicable under the circumstances, and constitutes valid, due and sufficient notice to all persons in the Class, complying fully with the requirements of Rule 23, the Constitution of the United States and any other applicable laws, provided, however, that the Class Notice is updated to reflect the dates and procedures set forth in this Order. The Court sets a deadline of 60 days from the mailing of the Settlement Notice for Class Members to object to the settlement or opt out of the Class. The Settlement Fairness Hearing shall be held before this Court, on Oct. 27, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate ECF No. 73. The Plaintiff alleged that Mulligan terminated her employment without providing appropriate notice pursuant to the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988 ("WARN Act"), and the New York State analogue ("NY WARN Act"). The putative class is defined as "those individuals employed by Mulligan who suffered an employment loss as a result of, or in connection with, the site closure at 1760 3rd Avenue, New York, NY 10029, commonly known as the 'Bird Dorms,' and who are identified on Exhibits A and B to [the Settlement] Agreement."

SUNSHINE STATE HEALTH PLAN, INC. d/b/a SUNSHINE HEAL TH, SUNSHINE STATE HEALTH, Defendant, Case No. CACE-26-012763 ( Fla. Cir., 7th Jud., Aug. 6, 2026) is a class action arising from failure of the Defendant to protect personally identifiable information and protected health information of its members, including Plaintiff and the Class. On or around May 6, 2026, an unauthorized third party obtained Plaintiffs' and Class Members' PH/PHI as a result of a social-engineering scheme that deceived a Sunshine Health employee into disclosing health plan files. On or about July 10, 2026, the data breach was reported to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services indicating the number of affected individuals, says the suit. As a result of Sunshine Health's failure to provide reasonable and adequate data security, the Plaintiffs and the Class Members' unencrypted, non-redacted PH/PHI has been exposed to unauthorized third parties. The Plaintiff and the Class are now at much higher risk of identity theft and cybercrimes of all kinds, especially considering the highly sensitive PII/PHI stolen here and the fact that the compromised PII/PHI is likely already being sold on the dark web, the suit further contends. Plaintiff Zarghami is a resident of Florida and a member of Defendant's health plan. Sunshine State Health Plan, Inc. is a managed care organization that provides managed care organization that provides government-sponsored health plan coverage to members throughout Florida.[BN] The Plaintiff is represented by: Robert R.

SVB Financial Group et al., Case No. 5:23-cv-01097-NW (N.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Wise entered an order that: -- The Plaintiffs' motion to amend the operative complaint is granted, and -- KPMG's motion to dismiss the proposed SAC is denied, and the motions to seal are granted in part and denied in part without prejudice. KPMG may renew a request to seal the relevant filings within 10 days of this Order. As discussed on the record, the Court will discuss the case schedule at the case management conference set for Aug. 13, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. Because the proposed SAC is not futile, is not a function of undue delay, and does not significantly prejudice KPMG, the Plaintiffs' motion to amend is granted. The Court understands that the Plaintiffs have notified the authorities of Becker's sealing request and have asked the Regulators for their position on the confidentiality of the relevant documents. Given the Plaintiffs on going consultation with the regulators, the Court provisionally grants Becker's request to seal the portions of the relevant filings while the regulators consider the issue.

UNILEVER UNITED STATES, INC., Case No. 2:24-cv-03017-DJC-JDP (E.D. Cal.), the Hon. Judge Daniel J. Calabretta entered an order denying Defendant's Motion to Transfer Venue. Both parties would face a burden traveling to the different venues. However, as Defendant already has established connections in California, litigation in California would impose less of a burden on Defendant than litigation in New Jersey would impose on Plaintiff. Therefore, this factor weighs against transfer to the District of New Jersey. The Plaintiff, a California resident, brings multiple California law claims arising from injuries allegedly caused by Vaseline brand Baby Healing Jelly manufactured by Defendant Unilever. Defendant, a corporation headquartered in New Jersey, now moves to transfer this action to the District of New Jersey. The Defendant argues that transfer will be more convenient for the parties and witnesses. Having analyzed the factors relevant in determining whether transfer is appropriate, the Court denies the Motion. The Plaintiff brings this class action on behalf of "all people in California who purchased the product for personal or household use during the four years preceding the date on which Plaintiff filed her original Complaint." Unilever manufactures personal care products.

Veterans Guardian VA Claim Consulting, LLC, Defendant, 1:23-CV-756 (M.D.N.C.), Judge Catherine C. Eagles of the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina granted the Plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment on liability for the unfair trade practices claims. The case maintains class action status as the action was brought by the Plaintiffs individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, and the Court addressed claims on behalf of three certified classes. The Defendant prepared and presented disability claims for veterans like the Plaintiffs to submit to the VA, even though it was not accredited by the VA as required by federal law. In this class action, the Plaintiffs contended that the Defendant's federal law violations constituted violations of the North Carolina Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act and the North Carolina Debt Collection Act. The Plaintiffs and class members signed contracts with the Defendant and used its services to apply for first-time VA benefits or for increases in VA benefits. All received either a disability benefit amount for the first time or an increase in their current amount, and the Plaintiffs and class members each received an invoice from the Defendant for its fee and paid at least part of the amount owed. The Defendant was domiciled in North Carolina, and all of the Defendant's acts occurred in North Carolina. Upon careful examination, the Court determined that North Carolina law applied to the unfair trade practices claims of all the named Plaintiffs and class members. The Court noted that the Defendant decided that North Carolina law should apply to its agreement with clients, showing its clear intent to be governed by North Carolina law. It only made sense for North Carolina law to also govern whether the Defendant's actions taken pursuant to that contract constituted unfair trade practices. According to the Court, the Defendant's federal accreditation violations translated to unfair or deceptive acts or practices under Section 75-1.1. The Court found that the Defendant engaged in this conduct by acting as an unaccredited agent and charging fees. The Defendant's fees were either prohibited by federal law as to initial claims or were assessed in an attempt to avoid the required VA oversight as to non-initial claims. These actions, taken together, were unfair, prohibited by law, and predatory. Furthermore, the Defendant's actions affected commerce as there was an exchange of money, and it injured the class members because they paid for assistance that the Defendant was not allowed to provide without accreditation. Regarding the debt collection claim, the Defendant moved for summary judgment on the ground that the Plaintiffs provided no evidence of any misleading statement in a legal proceeding. The Court found that to be prohibited and unfair under Section 75-54(4), the statute required a legal proceeding. The Plaintiffs presented no evidence of a false statement in a legal proceeding, and the Defendant was therefore entitled to summary judgment on this aspect of the claim. The Court also addressed the affirmative defense of voluntary payment. The Court ruled that the defense did not apply to bar the Plaintiffs' claims because it would undermine the legislative purpose in enacting those statutes. Additionally, the Defendant did not establish that the Plaintiffs had full knowledge of all facts relevant to the payment. The Plaintiffs and class members knew the Defendant was not accredited, but the Defendant's contract stated its services were in accordance with federal regulations, which was not accurate. Accordingly, the court ordered that: 1. The Plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment was granted as to liability on the unfair trade practices claims in Counts I and II. 2. The Defendant's motion for summary judgment was granted in part as follows: a. The North Carolina Debt Collection Act claim in Count III was dismissed to the extent that it was based on North Carolina General Statute Section 75-54(4). b. The remaining aspects of the debt collection claim in Count III were permitted to proceed to trial.

WEST SHORE ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT SERVICES, INC., d/b/a GEISINGER EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES, Case No. 4:25-cv-01103-MWB (M.D. Pa.), the Hon. Judge Matthew W. Brann entered a judgment that Plaintiff's motion for conditional certification and Court-authorized notice is granted in part and denied in part. The motion is denied without prejudice as it pertains to the notice and dissemination plan. However, the motion is granted in part regarding conditional certification. The collective is conditionally certified pursuant to 29 U.S.C. section 216(b) as follows: "All hourly Geisinger employees who worked in Pennsylvania for more than 40 hours in any workweek while employed there and were paid a bonus and/or shift differential from June 18, 2022, through the present." The parties will be ordered to meet and confer and provide a proposed notice and dissemination plan to the Court by Aug. 21, 2026. The Plaintiff has provided sufficient evidence, beyond mere speculation, that all hourly employees based in Pennsylvania—who were eligible for overtime pay and were paid bonuses and shift differentials—were subject to a common overtime payment structure that if proven would violate the FLSA. As this is the sole requirement to allow for the granting of conditional certification, the Court will not require more at this stage of the litigation. On June 18, 2025, Bohr initiated this punitive class action lawsuit against West Shore Advanced Support Services, Inc., which does business as Geisinger Emergency Medical Services. Bohr alleges that Geisinger paid them "non-discretionary bonuses and shift differentials that it failed to include in these employees' regular rates of pay for overtime purposes," what he refers to as a bonus pay scheme. He claims that this scheme violated the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"), the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act, and the Pennsylvania Wage Payment and Collection Law. West Shore provides 24-hour ambulance and paramedic service.

YOH SERVICES LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; and DOES 1 through 100, inclusive, Defendants, Case No. 26STCV24365 (Super. Ct., Los Angeles Cty., Cal., August 3, 2026) is a class action pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure, seeking monetary damages and restitution. According to the complaint, the Plaintiff and the other class members worked over eight hours in a day and/or 40 hours in a week during their employment with Defendants. The Plaintiff alleges that Defendants are engaged in a pattern and practice of wage abuse against their hourly-paid or non-exempt employees within the State of California. This pattern and practice involved failing to pay them for all regular and/or overtime wages earned and for missed meal periods and rest breaks in violation of California law.
