Trader Joe’s customers could claim money in class action case – Delawareonline.com
Do you use your credit card when shopping at Trader Joe’s?
If you did in 2019, you could be eligible to claim part of a $7.4 million class action settlement money.
Earlier this year, Trader Joe’s agreed to settle a class action lawsuit filed in 2019 that alleged the company violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions (FACTA) act.
According to court filings, it was alleged certain Trader Joe’s stores printed receipts that displayed both the first six and last four digits of customers’ card numbers, making them more susceptible to increased risk of identity theft.
Trader Joe’s denied all allegations and any wrongdoing or liability but agreed to settle the case to avoid further court proceedings. No customers have reported identity theft based on the allegations of the suit, Trader Joe’s said.
Here’s what to know about the settlement and if you are eligible to file a claim.
Eligible class members will receive a share of the $7.4 settlement, estimated to be about $102.45. However, the final amount is not fixed since it depends on the number of valid claims filed and deductions in settlement administration costs, such as attorney fees.
You must meet the following eligibility requirements to qualify for the payout.
Not sure if you are eligible? Head to the Trader Joe’s settlement website or call the settlement hotline at 1-888-444-7415. You can write a letter to the claim’s administrator. The address is:
Keim v. Trader Joe’s Co. Settlement Administrator
P.O. Box 301134
Los Angeles, CA 90030-1134
Trader Joe’s customers who think they are eligible for money from the settlement can submit a claim now on the Trader Joe’s settlement website. You have until June 9. Those with a Class ID number can submit their settlement forms by mail.
The timeline of the payout is tied to the court’s final approval, with a hearing scheduled on Aug. 10, 2026. Once approved, there could be appeals and resolving them could take some time (up to a year). Updated information will be posted on the settlement website: Keim v. Trader Joe’s Company.
