If you received a notice from PurFoods (Mom’s Meals) about your personal data being compromised, you may be eligible for money or free credit monitoring from a new $4.25M settlement.
Why is there a lawsuit?
Between January 16 – February 22, 2023, PurFoods experienced a cyberattack. Personal information of about 1.25 million people may have been accessed or stolen.
A lawsuit (Douglas et al v. PurFoods, Inc.) claimed the company failed to protect that data. PurFoods denies wrongdoing but agreed to settle to avoid further litigation.
