Some Trader Joe's customers may be eligible for a payout as part of a $7.4 million settlement in a class action lawsuit against the grocery chain.
Earlier this year, Trader Joe's agreed to settle a class action lawsuit filed in 2019 that alleged the company violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) at some of its stores.
According to filings in the case, the plaintiff, Brian Keim, alleged that some Trader Joe's stores printed transaction receipts that included the first six and last four digits of customers' credit or debit card numbers, making them susceptible to identity theft.
Trader Joe's denies the suit's allegations and any wrongdoing, but agreed to settle the case to avoid further litigation. It also said that no customers have reported identity theft based on the allegations in the suit, according to a court notice.
Here's what to know about the settlement, including who's eligible for a payout.
