Current and former employees who received a notice from Mizuno USA Inc. informing them a data breach discovered in November 2024 may have compromised their personal information could qualify to submit a claim for up to $5,475 from a class action settlement.
Mizuno USA Inc. agreed to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it failed to adequately protect sensitive personal information during a cybersecurity incident. The data breach compromised names, Social Security numbers, driver's license information, passport numbers and financial account information belonging to approximately 1,200 people.
Who can file a claim for a data breach payout?
Class members are individuals who received a mailed notice from Mizuno USA around January 2025 stating the data breach discovered in November 2024 potentially compromised their personal information.
How much can class members get?
Class members have the following benefit options:
- Ordinary losses and lost time: Class members can claim up to $475 in ordinary losses and lost time related to the data breach.
- Ordinary losses may include bank or credit card fees, costs for credit reports, credit monitoring or identity theft insurance purchased as a result of the breach and postage for communication with financial institutions.
