Class Action Suit Against FloSports
By: OldSeawolf Date: November 15, 2023, 8:58 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Just got an Email today from:
info@fsrenewalsettlement.com
about a Class Action suit that I can place a claim in for.
Doesn't really go into details as to what it's about, but it
looks like it has something to do with automatic renewals in
certain states.
Did you all get one too?

regular basis. i wonder if the claim is something like- they
didnt really manifest customer assent when imposing automatic
renewals. possibly via unclear language, interfacing, etc.

Here's the text of the Email:
NOTICE OF PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT
Young, et al. v. FloSports, Inc.., Case No. 2023LA000516
(In the Circuit Court of DuPage County, Illinois, 18th Judicial
Circuit)
This notice is to inform you of the settlement of a class action
lawsuit against FloSports, Inc. (“FloSports”), the “Defendant,”
filed by Plaintiffs Lucas Young, Daniel O’Malley, and Charles
Buckingham (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) in the Circuit Court
of DuPage County, Illinois. The Class Plaintiffs allege that
they were enrolled in automatically renewing subscriptions for
FloSports’ content without adequate disclosures and notice
regarding renewal charges and cancellation terms. FloSports
claims its subscription renewal practices complied with all
applicable laws and regulations and that it fairly disclosed all
terms associated with its subscriptions. Thus, FloSports denies
all allegations of wrongdoing, and the Court has not determined
who is right. Rather, the Parties have agreed to settle the
lawsuit to avoid the uncertainties and expenses associated with
ongoing litigation.

Counsel may be paid reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs from
the Settlement Fund in an amount to be determined by the Court.
