Did You Receive Marketing Materials from Legacy Touch? We’re opening this issue with an investigation into Legacy Touch – a company that may be partnering with funeral homes to collect the fingerprints of deceased individuals without permission in order to market keepsakes to their loved ones. Continuing with our ongoing investigations, we’re also taking a look at certain chicken products sold at Walmart and Kroger – and whether they weigh as much as their labels claim – plus concerns that the tires on certain Mercedes S-Class vehicles may be defective. We’ll round things out with the long-reported concern that Facebook programmed its now-discontinued VPN service, Onavo Protect, to monitor users’ activities on apps like Snapchat, Amazon and YouTube. Keep reading for all the details. - Kelly Mehorter, Ty Armstrong |
| Attorneys working with ClassAction.org believe a company called Legacy Touch may be partnering with funeral homes to collect the fingerprints of deceased individuals and then using the prints to market personalized keepsakes to their loved ones. Now, they’re looking to represent individuals nationwide who were contacted by the company and distressed to learn their family member’s fingerprints had been taken, apparently without permission. Specifically, they’re looking to file individual lawsuits against Legacy Touch and funeral homes on behalf of people who may have suffered mental anguish or emotional distress upon receiving marketing materials advertising jewelry designed with a deceased family member’s fingerprints.

Walmart and Kroger Customers: Did Your Chicken Weigh as Much as Labels Claimed? If the chicken you bought at Walmart or Kroger weighed in at less than the label claimed, you aren’t the only one. Attorneys working with ClassAction.org have reason to believe that some of the grocery stores’ chicken products may be getting marked with inaccurate weights, causing buyers to be overcharged. Now, lawsuits could be filed to help Walmart and Kroger customers get back some of the money they spent on potentially mislabeled products and force the stores to ensure that their product weights are accurate. So, if you bought boneless, skinless chicken products under the Heritage Farm brand from Kroger or under the Walmart brand from Walmart within the past three years, head to this page for the details. |

| | ~ In Other News ~ | California Mercedes-Benz S500 and S580 drivers: Have you had problems with your tires? If so, you’re not alone. Owners and lessees of the luxury sedans—specifically 2020-2024 models with 21-inch Pirelli tires—have reported that they’ve experienced multiple blowouts, sometimes after driving over what seem like harmless potholes or enduring normal amounts of impact. Others say they’ve dealt with issues like tire bubbles, deflation, punctures and cracked rims. Attorneys are investigating whether these issues may stem from a potential defect and, if so, whether a class action lawsuit can be filed on behalf of drivers. California residents should head to this page to read more about the investigation. |
| News outlets have long reported that Facebook programmed its now-discontinued VPN service, Onavo Protect, to monitor users’ activities on apps like Snapchat, Amazon and YouTube. It’s been alleged that these interceptions began in 2016 to help Facebook gain a competitive edge—but attorneys working with ClassAction.org believe the social media giant may have violated users’ privacy rights in the process. The attorneys want to file a class action on behalf of people who may have had their data illegally collected by Facebook—so, if you downloaded Onavo Protect on your smartphone and used the VPN service with the Snapchat, Amazon or YouTube apps, learn more here. |
