A federal judge has given final approval to the 1-800 Contacts class action settlement of the lawsuit filed against 1-800 Contacts, Inc. in the U.S. District for the Southern District of California (styled as Robert Reed v. 1-800 Contacts, Inc., Case No. 12-cv-02359 JM (BGS)) alleging, among other things, that 1-800 Contacts violated California Penal Code Section 630 by recording confidential telephonic communications with class members without obtaining their consent, according to the Court’s order granting final approval of the 1-800 Contacts class action settlement and motion for attorneys fees, litigation expenses and plaintiff enhancement award.
The 1-800 Contacts settlement class included “[a]ll natural persons who, while present in California, participated in at least one recorded telephone call with 1-800 Contacts, Inc. between August 15, 2011 and September 10, 2012.”
