The Belford High School class action lawsuit filed on November 5, 2009 alleges the school orchestrated an Internet scam that caused the parents of prospective students to lose money. Primary plaintiff in the class action lawsuit claim Bedford High School falsely claimed it offered a valid” and “accredited” high school diploma. The plaintiffs assert that Bedford High School diplomas are fraudulent because the school is nothing more than a money milking scam.

Both parties agreed to the American Eagle Outfitters class action settlement in December of 2016. Under terms clearly presented in the settlement, American Eagle Outfitters must create a settlement fund of $14.5 million to cover payments to eligible class members, as well as court costs and attorney fees. The class action settlement does not require American Eagle Outfitters to admit the company violated any of the provisions mentioned in the TCPA.

Primary plaintiffs Enzo Forcellati and Lisa Roemmich filed the class action lawsuit, which asserts Hyland’s issued false and misleading claims about the benefits of the listed products in violation of both state and federal laws. The plaintiffs allege the false and misleading benefit claims include the phrase “provide fast, safe and effective relief from cold and flu symptoms.” Central to the arguments made in the lawsuit is that homeopathy is quasi science and Hyland’s homeopathic products “contain highly diluted concentrations of the ingredients listed as active ingredients.”

Hyland’s has repeatedly denied violating any state or federal law, but the company settled the class action lawsuit to avoid the uncertainty of protracted litigation.
