A court in Chicago, Illinois preliminarily approved a class action settlement in the lawsuit Carbajal v. Fuchs Lubricants Co., Case No. 22 CH 12344 (Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois) (the “Lawsuit”).  The Court has approved a Notice to inform you of your rights in the settlement. As described in more detail on this site, you may:

• Request a settlement payment and give up certain legal claims you have;
• Exclude yourself from the settlement and not receive a settlement payment and not give up any legal claims;
• Object to the settlement; or
• Do nothing, not receive a settlement payment, and give up certain legal claims you have.

Before any money is paid, the Court will decide whether to grant final approval of the settlement. This Lawsuit is about whether Defendant Fuchs Lubricants Co. (“Defendant”) violated the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, 740 ILCS 14/1 et seq. (“BIPA”).
