A class action lawsuit was filed against American Express Company and American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. The lawsuit accused American Express of using anti-steering rules in its merchant agreements to stop merchants from encouraging customers to use lower-cost payment cards. Plaintiffs alleged that those rules inflated prices for consumers who used Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and debit cards, even if they never used an American Express card.

The case was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York in 2019. It was litigated for years, certified in part, tried to a jury, and ultimately settled after trial. In July 2026, the court gave final approval to a $17.5 million settlement.

For the last few years, a number of lawsuits have been filed against Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. (“J&J”) and Vogue International involving the OGX line of shampoo and hair care products. These lawsuits are based on allegations that certain OGX products contained DMDM hydantoin, a preservative that can release formaldehyde, and that the products caused hair loss, scalp irritation, allergic reactions, and other injuries.

July 2026 OGX Lawsuit Update

The OGX lawsuits are not as active as many people expected when these claims first received national attention in 2021. There has not been a large nationwide public settlement program paying substantial compensation to OGX users.

Dexcom glucose monitor lawsuits are being filed by people who say Dexcom continuous glucose monitoring systems failed when they needed them most. These claims involve Dexcom G6 and Dexcom G7 sensors, receivers, and mobile apps that allegedly provided inaccurate glucose readings, missed high- or low- blood sugar alerts, failed early, shut down without warning, or failed to alert users that a sensor had stopped working.

Our lawyers are looking for cases where this defect led to a serious injury.  When the device gives a wrong reading or fails to send a critical alert, the result can be hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, seizure, coma, hospitalization, or death.

The strongest Dexcom cases involve serious injury, documented device failure, medical treatment, app or receiver records, Dexcom support communications, lot or serial information, and a timeline that connects the device problem to the injury.

A new wave of Best Buy “fake discount” class action lawsuits has targeted the company’s use of advertised sale prices, “Was” prices, “Regular” prices, “Comp. Value” prices, and limited-time savings claims. These lawsuits accuse Best Buy of making ordinary prices appear to be special discounts by comparing current selling prices to reference prices that allegedly were not real, recent, or regularly charged.

In January 2025, Porchia v. Best Buy Co., Inc., was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. It alleged that Best Buy used deceptive reference prices for televisions and major appliances sold in stores and online. That case is no longer pending. After mediation, the plaintiffs filed a voluntary dismissal in November 2025, thereby terminating the case. The dismissal notice stated that no class had been certified and no settlement class had been proposed.

But the broader issue has not gone away. In 2026, Best Buy was hit with new lawsuits challenging similar pricing practices. In April 2026, Morgan v. MN Best Buy Co., Inc. was filed in the Central District of California. In May 2026, Tanner v. Best Buy Co., Inc. was filed in the Northern District of California. These newer lawsuits continue the same basic theory: Best Buy allegedly advertised fake or inflated reference prices to create the illusion of savings.

Unclaimed class action settlement money is money that was set aside for class members but never paid out because people missed the notice, moved, ignored the claim form, missed the deadline, or never cashed the settlement check.

If you have ever bought a product, signed up for a service, paid hidden fees, received a data breach notice, used a subscription service, or dealt with a company accused of misleading consumers, there is a chance you were included in a class action settlement. The problem is that many people never claim the money available to them.

Some class action settlements require receipts, account records, loss documents, or proof of purchase. Others are no-proof class action settlements. That means eligible class members may be able to file a claim by certifying that they bought the product, used the service, received the notice, or otherwise fit the settlement criteria.

If you have ever bought a product, signed up for a service, had your data exposed in a breach, or dealt with a company that may not have been fully transparent, there is a real chance you qualify for a class action settlement.

Many of the settlements listed here do not require receipts or detailed documentation for at least part of the claim. These are commonly referred to as no-proof class action settlements. That does not mean anyone can file. It means eligible class members may submit a claim by certifying that they purchased the product, used the service, received a breach notice, or otherwise meet the settlement criteria.

This page focuses on current and upcoming class action settlements open to consumers in 2026. Most involve issues such as misleading advertising, data breaches, recurring subscription fees, violations of receipt privacy, price-fixing, or unauthorized use of consumer information. Some allow a basic claim without proof. Others allow a small payment without documentation but require receipts, account records, or other documents if you want a larger reimbursement.

Our lawyers are reviewing claims online gambling addiction lawsuits against major sportsbook and casino app companies, including DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, ESPN Bet, Bet365, Fanatics Sportsbook, Hard Rock Bet, and other mobile betting platforms.

These claims are not built on the idea that every losing bet should be refunded. Our question is did the betting company use its data, app design, promotions, and customer targeting to keep a vulnerable person gambling after the warning signs were obvious?  The evidence is showing our attorneys that they did.

The strongest cases show more than losses. They show escalating deposits, late-night betting, loss chasing, repeated promotions, VIP contact, failed self-exclusion, ignored limits, mental health harm, family intervention, treatment records, and a platform that kept pushing instead of slowing the user down.

Parents buy children’s toothpaste because they are trying to do the right thing. You read the label, look for the safer choice, and trust that a product marketed as kid-friendly, natural, and clean is not hiding something you would never knowingly put in your child’s mouth.

That trust is now at the center of the Hello toothpaste lawsuits. Hello Products, now owned by Colgate-Palmolive, is facing lawsuits over several different issues:

  1. alleged lead and mercury in Hello Kids toothpaste,

Samsung is one of the most trusted names in consumer electronics. Most consumers willingly pay more for the Samsung name and it is why so many people bought Samsung refrigerators with high expectations. These refrigerators looked modern, offered premium features, and promised the kind of convenience consumers expect from a major appliance that often costs thousands of dollars.

But for many Samsung refrigerator owners, the built-in ice maker became the most frustrating part of the appliance. Consumers reported ice makers freezing over, water leaking from the refrigerator, loud fan noises, slush buildup, cracked ice buckets, and repeated repair attempts that did not permanently fix the problem.

Those complaints eventually led to the Samsung refrigerator ice maker lawsuit, including the Bianchi v. Samsung Electronics America case filed in federal court in New Jersey. That lawsuit alleged that certain Samsung French door refrigerators had defective ice makers and that Samsung failed to provide a meaningful fix to consumers who kept dealing with the same problems.
