Hey Favor Files for Chapter 11, Triggering Stay in Privacy Case, Says Notice

Telehealth provider Hey Favor filed a voluntary petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection April 18, and that filing triggered an automatic stay under the bankruptcy code in the privacy class action against the company filed in January by plaintiff Jane Doe (see 2303270047), said a notice Thursday (docket 3:23-cv-00059) in U.S. District Court for Northern California in San Francisco. Its bankruptcy petition is pending before U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Edward Morris, said the notice. Plaintiff Doe alleges Hey Favor knowingly and intentionally sent personally identifiable information about her medical history to Meta, TikTok and other social media platforms. Biotechnology firm Veru is Hey Favor’s largest unsecured creditor, owed $3.9 million in trade debt, said Hey Favor’s Chapter 11 petition (docket 23-41091) in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for Northern Texas in Fort Worth. Its second-largest creditor is Latham & Watkins, owed $1.6 million in legal fees, followed by Google, owed just under $900,000 in trade debt, said the petition.
