Background
A $950,000 class action settlement resolves Ryan, et al. v. Peco Foods Inc., pending in the Circuit Court of Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. The lawsuit concerns a data breach that occurred on or around December 4, 2023, in which an unauthorized third party accessed the personal identifiable information of the plaintiffs and settlement class members. Peco Foods notified affected individuals on or around July 24, 2024. The settlement class includes all U.S. residents whose personal information was accessed or acquired in the breach described in that notice. Peco Foods denies any wrongdoing and denies liability, but agreed to settle on a class-wide basis. Class members who file a timely, valid claim may receive a residual cash payment, credit monitoring, and reimbursement of documented out-of-pocket losses.
