| Tesla drivers aren’t all too pleased with the automaker – and for good reason. A recent investigation found that Tesla has consistently overstated the driving ranges of its electric vehicles – not only in advertisements but even through estimates on the cars’ dashboards. It has also been reported that when drivers first began complaining about the problem, Tesla went so far as to form a special “Diversion Team” tasked with canceling any range-related service appointments. In light of these findings, attorneys are now looking into whether a class action can be filed for potentially false advertising. A class action lawsuit could help Tesla drivers get back some of the money they spent on the vehicles and possibly force the automaker to ensure the cars’ driving ranges are accurately represented. If you were disappointed with your Tesla’s driving range, head over to this page and share your story. |

| | ~ In Other News ~ | PBI is sending Talcott Resolution customers notices stating that their personal information may have been compromised in a recent data breach – and now, attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a lawsuit can be filed over potentially lax data security policies. Specifically, they’re investigating whether a class action lawsuit can be filed against the life insurance and annuity company over a recent cyberattack involving MOVEit, a file transfer service used by PBI Research Services (PBI), a third-party vendor Talcott partners with. In a notice to the Iowa attorney general, Talcott Resolution revealed that files accessed by cybercriminals during the data breach contained consumers’ Social Security numbers, full names, dates of birth, contract numbers and zip codes. If you’re a Talcott customer who got a data breach letter from PBI or otherwise believe your personal information may have been compromised, head over to this page for more information. |
| Attorneys believe Meta (Facebook’s owner) may be using an online tracking tool embedded on the websites of several telehealth companies to collect sensitive health information about patients – even those who do not have a Facebook account. It’s suspected that Meta may be compiling these users’ personal and medical information to be used for advertising purposes without their knowledge or consent. The attorneys believe that Meta’s suspected data collection practices may violate certain state privacy laws and they are now looking to file a class action lawsuit on behalf of patients who allege their health data was unlawfully collected by Meta. If you used telehealth services provided by Monument, Cerebral, Brightside Health, Workit Health or Boulder Care and you don’t have a Facebook account, head over to this page and you may be able to help get a class action lawsuit started. |
