Kroger’s $17M Pharmacy Settlement: How to Claim Your Share

Eligible Kroger pharmacy customers who bought certain generics in the last eight years may file a claim for a prorated share of a proposed $17 million class-action settlement. The suit alleges insured customers were overcharged because prices weren’t adjusted for Kroger Savings Club discounts. Kroger says discounts were available only to savings-club members and that it does not admit wrongdoing. Claims must be filed by December 21, and final court approval is still needed.

Lawsuit alleges Oura Ring misleads on sleep-tracking claims

A Northern District of California class-action claims the Oura Ring cannot actually track sleep because it doesn’t measure brain activity, eye movements, or muscle tone, and instead relies on AI inferences from inputs it can’t verify. The suit, targeting Oura’s advertising, alleges fraudulent marketing and seeks more than $5 million for 100+ members under California’s Unfair Competition Law, False Advertising Law, and CLRA. Oura has not yet commented in the article.

Streamers sue Twitch and Amazon Over AI Training of Their Content

Connecticut Twitch streamer Warren Pandiscia leads a proposed class action accusing Twitch and its parent Amazon of scraping millions of streams to train Amazon’s generative AI without permission, despite Twitch’s opt-out option. Plaintiffs allege breach of implied/express contracts and unfair competition and seek injunctive relief, damages and disgorgement. The suit, filed in the Northern District of California, follows Twitch’s update of its terms to allow AI training with an opt-out by channel, noting that content from opted-out users can still be used if they engage on opted-in channels. No immediate comment from the parties.

Amazon moves disputes into arbitration, blocking class-action suits

Amazon updated its terms to require binding arbitration for disputes and to prohibit class actions, touting a faster, more efficient resolution. Small-claims remain possible in limited cases, but a judge could still allow a class action in some circumstances; the move follows past privacy concerns and other lawsuits, and its enforceability will depend on court decisions.

Lawsuit Challenges Federal Ban on Gender-Affirming Care Coverage for Federal Employees

A class-action lawsuit filed by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation and Correia & Puth argues that the Trump administration’s ban on insurance coverage for gender-affirming care in federal employee plans violates Title VII by discriminating based on sex, affecting about 8.3 million people and 39,400 enrollees; the policy removed coverage (except for mental health counseling) and a vague mid-treatment carve-out that ends in 2027, forcing some workers to pay out-of-pocket or forgo care, while medical groups deem the care medically necessary.

Anthropic's $1.5B Settlement Marks Major Win in Copyright Case Over AI Training Data

A San Francisco federal judge approved a $1.5 billion settlement between Anthropic and authors who accused the company of using pirated books to train its AI. Described as the largest copyright class-action settlement, the deal pays roughly $3,000 per book for claims covering around 440,000 titles; Anthropic must delete the pirated files. The accord resolves liability for past data acquisition, not for future AI outputs or new claims.

Court OKs $1.5B Anthropic copyright settlement as opt-outs stay tiny

A federal judge approved a $1.5 billion class-action settlement between Anthropic and authors over AI training on books, with about 95% of the class notified and 91% filing claims; only 350 opted out (plus a few late objections denied). Lawyers’ fees were cut to roughly 12.5%, lead plaintiffs’ awards reduced, and payouts average around $3,000 per work—four times minimum statutory damages—effectively ending the dispute while preserving potential future action if misuse is found.

Nintendo moves to dismiss tariff refunds class-action over price adjustments

Nintendo has asked a court to dismiss a consumer class-action alleging it failed to pass US tariff refunds to customers, arguing buyers got what they paid for and that any price changes were modest, selective adjustments rather than tariff surcharges; the case concerns tariff-affected products (including the Switch 2) from 2025–2026, and Nintendo notes pre-orders were delayed due to tariffs while it separately seeks tariff refunds with interest from the U.S. government.

Court rejects United's attempt to redefine window seats without a view
