Poultry Plant Workers – Were You Underpaid? The wages companies pay in certain fields can be incredibly disheartening, especially when it comes to manual labor – but, as lawsuits allege, wages in the poultry processing field may be low as a result of an illegal scheme. Specifically, attorneys believe a wage-fixing scheme run by some of the largest poultry processors may have stifled workers’ earnings for years. More on that below. Also in this issue, you’ll find information on a recent Kaiser Permanente data breach and an ongoing investigation into how Hyundai and General Motors use the driving data they collect from customers. Then, read about a recently filed lawsuit claiming Enfamil baby formulas may contain toxic “forever chemicals.” Keep reading for the latest in class action news and settlements that you may be able to claim. - Ty Armstrong, Writer/Community Manager |
| At least one lawsuit is claiming that some of the largest poultry processors across the country have engaged in a wage-fixing scheme to suppress the pay of plant workers – and that this scheme has been going on for years. Specifically, it’s been alleged that people who worked “on the line,” i.e., the evisceration or deboning lines, at certain chicken and turkey processing plants between January 2011 and December 2017 were underpaid due to the companies’ secret agreements to set wages at artificially low rates instead of competing for employees. Attorneys now need additional workers to come forward to help strengthen the litigation. If you were an hourly paid employee who worked on the line at a poultry processing plant between January 2011 and December 2017, learn how you can take action here. |
Kaiser Permanente Data Breach Affects Millions If you received a notice about a recent data breach affecting current and former Kaiser Foundation Health Plan members, you aren’t alone. The health insurance arm of Kaiser Permanente recently announced that the breach exposed the names, IP addresses and private health information of nearly 13.4 million individuals. Attorneys believe Kaiser may have failed to adequately protect its customers’ data and are now looking to take legal action on behalf of those impacted by the breach.

| | ~ In Other News ~ | Attorneys have reason to suspect that Hyundai and General Motors may be secretly collecting data about customers’ driving behaviors and sharing it with third parties. Specifically, they believe the automakers could be using their respective connected car services – Bluelink and OnStar – to secretly transmit details about customers’ driving habits to data brokers. It’s possible that the third parties may then compile this information into reports used by insurance companies to set drivers’ rates and premiums. If you owned or leased a Hyundai vehicle equipped with Bluelink or a GM vehicle (Chevrolet, Buick, GMC or Cadillac) equipped with OnStar within the past three years, you may be able to join others taking action.

| According to a recently filed lawsuit, the products in Mead Johnson and Reckitt Benckiser’s Enfamil infant formula line – Enfamil NeuroPro Infant Formula, Enfamil Simply ProSobee Plant-Based Infant Formula and Enfamil Infant Formula Milk-Based Powder with Iron – were found to contain organic fluorine, a marker for the presence of synthetic “forever chemicals,” or PFAS. The lawsuit claims that Enfamil’s marketing contains no warning about PFAS, which have been linked to cancer and other health problems, and that the presence of fluorine “directly contradicts” Mead Johnson and Reckitt’s representations of the infant formula as a safe, healthy feeding option.
