Allegations Only · Most Cases Below Are Unproven
Most items in this roundup are newly filed complaints. The statements describing them are unproven allegations. No defendant named below has been found liable, no class has been certified in the lawsuit-stage cases, and there is nothing to claim in those matters at this time. The two settlements noted as "Claims Open" are the only items with an actionable claim path. This page is informational and is not legal advice.
Privacy and AI dominated the new-filing docket this week — Google, Amazon, Samsung, Meta, and Perplexity all drew fresh class actions over how their products capture data — while a dozen settlements opened claim windows that consumers can act on right now, from a no-proof supplement refund to a $62.1M Hyundai/Kia airbag fund.
What Is This About?
This is our weekly roundup of the newest class action lawsuits and recently opened settlements tracked by Open Class Actions. Below are twenty cases from the past week, grouped by theme — eight newly filed lawsuits and twelve settlements with open or pending claim windows. Each newly filed complaint is an allegation only; a court has not ruled on the merits, and a filing does not mean a payout will follow. Where a settlement has an open claim form and deadline, we flag it so you can see what is actually claimable today — and a few of these deadlines are within days.AI & Privacy Lawsuits
Google Gemini Gmail Privacy Class Action
The complaint alleges Google switched on its Gemini AI "smart features" by default around October 10, 2025, letting the assistant access users' private Gmail, Chat, and Meet content without consent.

Hyundai Palisade Third-Row Airbag Defect Class Action

A class action lawsuit and a class action settlement are not the same thing. A newly filed lawsuit is a set of allegations a court has not yet tested; there is no class, no fund, and nothing to file until — if ever — the case is certified and resolved, which can take years. A settlement with an open claim form is the opposite: the litigation is over, a fund or benefit exists, and there is a published deadline to act. Of the twenty cases above, the eight lawsuits are still complaint-stage, while the twelve settlements have open or pending claim windows — including a few (Alpha Baking, Evening Post) closing within days. For the full list of settlements accepting claims now, see our open settlements page.Frequently Asked Questions
Which class actions can I actually file a claim in this week?
Twelve of the cases in this roundup have open or pending claim periods, including the QVAR inhaler antitrust settlement (July 31, 2026), Nutricost magnesium glycinate (August 7, 2026, no proof), Sarasota Memorial medical debt (July 10, 2026), the Alpha Baking (June 22) and Evening Post (June 24) data breach settlements, the Honda Idle Stop and $62.1M Hyundai/Kia airbag settlements, the BMW shark-fin antenna settlement, the Copa América final ($14M), the Winston Weaver fire, and the Invitation Homes Florida deposit settlement; the NYC TLC $140M settlement is pending final approval. The eight lawsuits are at the complaint stage, with no certified class and nothing to claim yet.
What are the new AI and privacy class actions filed recently?
Recent complaint-stage privacy suits include cases against Google (Gemini accessing Gmail), Perplexity AI (chat data shared with Meta and Google), Meta and Luxottica (Ray-Ban and Oakley AI glasses footage reviewed by human contractors), Samsung and Amazon (smart-TV and Fire TV automatic content recognition), and Amazon Ring (the Familiar Faces facial-recognition feature). These are unproven allegations; no defendant has been found liable.
Does filing a lawsuit mean I will get a payment?
No. A newly filed complaint is only an allegation. There is no payment unless and until a court certifies a class and the case results in a settlement or judgment, which can take years. Open settlements with a claim form are different — those have a defined deadline and benefit.
