Your legal rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Read this website carefully.
Your Legal Rights and Options in this Settlement | Deadline: | |
Submit a Claim Form | If you received notice of this Settlement and made one or more Qualifying Purchase(s) between December 8, 2019 and May 29, 2025 (the “Class Period”): you will receive one (1) Voucher after completion of a Claim Form. Claims can be submitted online here. | September 25, 2025 |
When a Claim Form is Not Necessary | If you received direct Email Notice of this Settlement and made one or more Qualifying Purchase(s) during the Class Period: if you do nothing, and the Court approves the Settlement, you will receive one (1) Direct Benefit Voucher in the amount of $10.00. You will also give up your right to object to the Settlement and you will not be able to be part of any other lawsuit about the legal claims in this Action. | N/A |
Exclude Yourself | If you exclude yourself from the Settlement, you will not receive a Voucher under the Settlement. Excluding yourself is the only option that allows you to bring or maintain your own lawsuit against Kipling for the allegations in the Action ever again. | September 25, 2025 |
Object | You may file a written objection telling the Court why you object to (i.e., don’t like) the Settlement and think it shouldn’t be approved. Submitting an objection does not exclude you from the Settlement. | September 25, 2025 |
Go to the “Fairness Hearing” | The Court will hold a “Fairness Hearing” to consider the Settlement, the request for attorneys’ fees and costs of the lawyers who brought the Action, and the Named Plaintiff’s request for a service award for bringing the Action. You may, but are not required to, speak at the Fairness Hearing about any objection you filed to the Settlement. If you intend to speak at the Fairness Hearing, you must also submit a “Notice of Intention to Appear” indicating your intent to do so. | Hearing Date and Time: October 3, 2025 at 1:30pm |
Do Nothing | If you received direct Email Notice of this Settlement and made one or more Qualifying Purchase(s) during the Class Period, you will receive one (1) Direct Benefit Voucher, as set forth above. If you did not receive direct Email Notice of this Settlement and made one or more Qualifying Purchase(s) during the Class Period, and if you do nothing, you will not receive a Voucher but will be bound by the Settlement and you will not be able to be part of any other lawsuit about the legal claims in this Action. | N/A |
These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in more detail on the FAQs page.
The Court in charge of this Action has preliminarily approved the Settlement and must decide whether to give final approval to the Settlement. The relief provided to Settlement Class Members will be provided only if the Court gives final approval to the Settlement and, if there are any appeals, after the appeals are resolved in favor of the Settlement. Please be patient.
