#class action settlement

Canadian residents whose personal data was compromised in a 2019 LifeLabs data breach can now apply for up to $150 in compensation from a multi-million dollar class action settlement approved in October.  The private medical diagnostics company and its subsidiaries were the target of a cyberattack on Dec. 17, 2019, that compromised patient data for around 15 million customers, mostly in British Columbia and Ontario. Hackers accessed personal information, including health numbers and test results, according to the claim. LifeLabs has denied claims of negligence brought in the class action lawsuit. The company will now pay at least $4.9 million in the negotiated settlement — and up to $9.8 million — depending on the number of claims made.

If you are a person who, between April 22, 2010 and September 26, 2011, inclusive, were a Facebook User in the United States who visited non-Facebook websites that displayed the Facebook Like button, you may be eligible for a payment from a Class Action Settlement.

A Settlement has been reached between Defendant Meta Platforms, Inc., formerly Facebook, Inc. (“Meta” or “Defendant”) and Plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.

You are included in this Settlement as a Settlement Class Member if, between April 22, 2010 and September 26, 2011 inclusive, you were a Facebook User in the United States who visited non-Facebook websites that displayed the Facebook Like button.

last month i got an email notification for people who bought contacts from websites like 1-800-contacts since 2004, that there’s a financial settlement being worked out in a class action lawsuit. i did in fact spend almost $400 through one of those sites, but i didn’t see the email until today because it ended up in my spam filter. 

if you think you might be part of the settlement class (it includes other sellers like walgreens, luxottica and vision direct) you should check your own email filters--or just search for ‘contact lens settlement cpt’ and follow the first result. cpt group are the ones running the claims website and they say who qualifies. 

you’ll need to know the exact amount you spent on your purchases, which would normally disqualify me because i don’t remember things from that long ago--but the website i used still shows my past orders so i was able to find the info there.
