DAP Health Data Breach Class Action Settlement ($1.3M)

Data Breach · Claims Open

Current Status

Claims are open. The deadline to file is October 21, 2026, and the Notice gives that date without a cutoff time or timezone, so do not assume one. The Superior Court of California for the County of Riverside has granted preliminary approval, which means it found enough evidence to suggest the settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate — not that it has approved it. The Final Approval Hearing was scheduled for October 1, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. before Judge Harold W. Hopp; as of October 20, 2026, the official settlement website still lists that date and no final approval order or payment date has been posted. The two earlier deadlines have passed: requests for exclusion and objections both had to be postmarked by September 1, 2026.

What Changed Recently?

The October 1, 2026 final approval hearing date has passed. As of October 20, 2026, the official settlement website still lists that hearing date and has not posted a final approval order, and its documents page shows no ruling. The claim window remains open through October 21, 2026.

Earlier, the Riverside Superior Court preliminarily approved the settlement in Donald Crosslin and Matthew Paone v. DAP Health, Inc., Case No. CVRI2500186, and notice has gone out to the class. The claim process is now running through Epiq, the settlement administrator, and class members who received a notice can file for benefits until October 21, 2026.

DAP Health denies the legal claims and denies any wrongdoing or liability. The Notice states that the court has not made any determination that DAP Health did anything wrong or that any law was violated, and that the parties agreed to settle to avoid the risk, cost and time of continuing the lawsuit. Our glossary entry on preliminary approval explains what that first ruling does and does not settle.

Who Qualifies?

The Settlement Class is all individuals in the United States whose Private Information was compromised in the Data Incident, including everyone who received notice of it and who has not opted out. The class is nationwide rather than California-only, even though the case is in a California court and one of the four benefits is limited to California residents.

Excluded from the class are the judges presiding over the lawsuit, Class Counsel and members of their families; DAP Health and its subsidiaries, parent companies, successors and predecessors, along with any entity in which DAP Health or its parents hold a controlling interest and its current or former officers and directors; anyone who properly submits a Request for Exclusion before the opt-out period expires; and the successors or assigns of any of those excluded people.
