Attorneys Investigating Junk Fees, Drip Pricing We’re opening this issue by telling you about a new page that focuses on how certain companies—including ticket resellers—charge and disclose extra fees. More on that below. From there, we have a new data privacy investigation involving a popular supplement company, as well as coverage on a lawsuit that takes issue with a top sports betting platform. Last up, a proposed class action has been filed over a certain fluoride rinse that might not be as safe for children as advertised. And, as always, we’ll round things out with the latest class action settlements you may be able to claim. - Ty Armstrong, Writer/Community Manager |
