What Is This Lawsuit About?

A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit with Hercules Corp. (“Hercules”), the Defendant in this case. Plaintiffs Richard McCall and Abraham Libman allege that Defendant misrepresented the value of its reloadable cash cards designed for use with laundry machines that are provided by and serviced by Defendant (“Laundry Cards”) by setting the reload amounts and laundry machine prices such that the Laundry Cards were guaranteed to have a remainder balance, and then charging consumers a $5 processing and handling fee to collect the unused balance, without clearly and conspicuously disclosing that fee. Hercules denies these allegations.
