Two class actions lawsuits are pending against Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. and SFM, LLC¹ (collectively “Sprouts”). One lawsuit is titled Larry Tran v. Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc., et al., Case No. 22STCV26572, and the other lawsuit is titled Robert Cohen v. Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc., et al., Case No. 23STCV08339. Both lawsuits were consolidated and they are both pending in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. The lawsuits allege that Sprouts violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act or FACTA, 15 U.S.C. §1681c(g), by printing on customer receipts more than the last five digits of the customer’s credit card or debit card number, which for purposes of this settlement includes EBT cards. Sprouts disputes the class action allegations and denies that it violated FACTA. Sprouts challenged the operative complaints in both of the lawsuits and the Court granted Sprouts’ request to dismiss both of the operative complaints. Plaintiffs Larry Tran and Robert Cohen each appealed the Court’s dismissal of the operative complaints. The parties agreed upon a proposed Settlement of the class action lawsuits to avoid the uncertainty and cost of further legal proceedings, including the appeals, and to provide benefits to Class members. The Court of Appeal remanded the lawsuits to the Trial Court for settlement approval proceedings. Sprouts does not admit any violation of FACTA by agreeing to the proposed Settlement.
