Samsung MDL Plaintiffs Cut Claims Count by 37% in Amended Consolidated Complaint

Plaintiffs whittled down their 362-page amended consolidated complaint (docket 23-md-3055) to 283 pages and chopped the claim count from 97 to 61 in Samsung Customer Data Security Breach Litigation, the multidistrict litigation arising from the company’s 2022 data breach. The new complaint identified subclasses as those emanating from 36 states and the District of Columbia. It eliminated claims from the previous complaint emanating from Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia and Wyoming. The plaintiffs allege that Samsung failed to properly secure and safeguard their personally identifiable information in its July 2022 data breach, which it didn't disclose until September.
