The class action lawsuit concerns the June 2021 data breach of Electromed, Inc. (“Electromed” or “Defendant”) in which it was determined that an unauthorized third party gained access to certain Electromed’s files containing sensitive personal information of its customers, employees, and some third-party contractors. Electromed denies that it did anything wrong and disputes that it has any liability, but has agreed to settle the lawsuit on a class wide basis.
To be eligible to make a claim, you must have received a notice letter of the Electromed data breach that occurred in June 2021.
Eligible claimants under the Settlement Agreement will receive $30 (non-California claimants) or $100 (California claimants) or the actual amount of unreimbursed ordinary losses up to $250 with supporting documentation or up to $5,000 of extraordinary losses with adequate documentation to prove the monetary losses – whichever is greater.
