Wesson Oil Settlement:  How to Claim Your $$$$

• Eligible Class Members can file online for compensation
• The settlement is also accepting claim forms by mail
• Class Members can file with or without proof of purchase

The parties involved in the cased titled In re ConAgra Foods, Inc. have recently come to a truly enormous settlement agreement which provides $27 MILLION in injunctive relief alone (mostly changes made to the Defendant’s advertising claims).  However, the overall value of the settlement doesn’t stop there.  In addition to the injunction relief, the settlement also provides monetary relief to eligible Class Members (some may say “the good part”).  So, without further ado, let’s take a look at what kind of compensation is available.

What can I get from the Wesson Oil Settlement?

• Class Members without proof of purchase can claim up to 30 bottles of oil
• Each bottle of oil claimed is valued at 15 cents ($4.50 max without proof)
• An extra $10,000 fund is available for those who can provide purchase proof
• A $575,000 fund is set aside for statutory damages for NY and OR residents

In order to file a claim, Class Members can go to the online settlement page and complete the electronic claim form.  Meanwhile, those who would rather send a form by mail must address it to the Settlement Administrator (seems tedious but whatever floats your boat).  In either case, Class Members should make sure they file on or before the August 22nd, 2019 filing deadline (still PLENTY of time left to make your move!).

How to File For the UCLA Health Cyber Settlement

• Class Members can file online or send in a claim form
• Class Members must file no later than the deadline
• The settlement notice includes an extensive FAQ list

When a data breach occurs the possibility of a class action lawsuit looms large.  As an illustration of such, we now turn to a recent case called Adlouni v. UCLA Health System Auxiliary, et al.  The Plaintiffs in the case allege that the Defendant violated a number of laws regarding information of privacy.  However, the Defendant disputes these allegations and denies any wrongdoing whatsoever.  At any rate, we will probably never find out which side would have won in court as the case appears to be settled pending the Final Fairness Hearing.  Those who believe they are eligible for compensation can go to the online filing page and click the Submit a Claim tab to start a claim form.

UCLA Health Cyber Settlement:  An Information Blitz

• Class Members can file for identity monitor, preventive measures, and/or unreimbursed losses
• The filing deadline for the identity monitor service is September 16th, 2019 (plenty of time!)
• June 18th, 2019 is the deadline for those filing for preventive measures (a little more pressing)
• 2 years after the preventive measures deadline is the deadline for unreimbursed losses (6-8-21)
• Those who want out of the settlement have until May 20th, 2019 to file a request for exclusion
• This does not appear to be nearly as large as the EXP Data Breach Settlement

In addition to the deadline for preventive measure claim forms, June 18th, 2019 is also the date when the court will hold the Final Fairness Hearing (perhaps the most important date!)  Those who wish to attend should show up at 9 AM (don’t hit the snooze button too many times).

By the way, Class Members can also file by filling out a claim form and sending it to the Settlement Administrator.  Additionally, the Settlement Administrator can help answer questions about the settlement.  Meanwhile, those who prefer to get answers on their own can take a dip into the FAQs located online and within the notice.

Nobody likes the thought of their personal data being sold off to advertisers.  ESPECIALLY, without their knowledge.  In fact, when enough allegations start to pour in claiming that a company has done so, a class action lawsuit can be the end result of these actions.  For instance, the case called the VIZIO, Inc., Consumer Privacy Litigation was filed of allegations that the Defendant sold data received from what was watched on the Smart TVs purchased by its customers.  However, these allegations appear close to being laid to rest as both parties have agreed to settle for a staggering $17 MILLION.  Those who wish to make a claim can begin by going to the settlement page and clicking the File a Claim tab.

Let’s face it, picking up the phone only to hear the sound of a cold artificial or prerecorded voice at the other end of the receiver is something most people prefer to avoid.  Therefore, it should come as no surprise to see a lawsuit filed when a company places these type of telemarketing phone calls.  For example, the recently settled case called Naiman v.
