Thanks, Tshering and Amy, for letting us know about this class action lawsuit settlement from FabFitFun:
THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION.
THE SENDING OF THIS NOTICE HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE COURT.A class-wide settlement has been reached in a lawsuit about whether certain alleged gift cards included in FabFitFun seasonal boxes from parties such as Merrithew International Inc., Zumba Fitness, LLC, Physique 57 International Inc. and Reeds Jewelers, Inc. d/b/a The Jeweler's Wife (the “Vendors”), included an expiration date that violates certain state and federal gift card laws. FabFitFun and the Vendors deny all of the claims in the lawsuit, but have agreed to a settlement to avoid the cost and risk of a trial.
Are You Included? FabFitFun’s records show that you may be included. The Settlement includes a “Class” or group of people that (i) between January 1, 2013 and April 11, 2017, (ii) received a Gift Card, (iii) through FabFitFun or any of its Vendors, (iv) with an expiration date that is earlier than the expiration period provided under applicable federal or state gift card laws.
What Can You Get? Those included can receive a replacement Gift Card(s) identical in all respects to the Gift Card(s) originally distributed by each Vendor, with the exception that the replacement Gift Card(s) will have no expiration date.
