People who bought a Levoit-branded Core or EverestAir air purifier or replacement filter labeled “True HEPA,” “HEPA” or “H13” in the United States between August 29, 2019 and August 4, 2023 may qualify to claim a $10 digital payment from the Vesync class action settlement. Claims close November 3, 2026, and evidence of purchase showing the original purchase date is required.
Current Status
Claims are open and close November 3, 2026. The same date is the deadline to exclude yourself, to object, and to give notice that you want to speak at the hearing. The Kings County Supreme Court of the State of New York has set a Fairness Hearing for February 17, 2027 at 11:00 a.m. ET, to be held by video conference. No final approval order has been entered and no payment date has been announced. Vesync unequivocally denies all allegations and denies any wrongdoing, and the court has not decided who is right.What Changed Recently?
The claim period is open in Sen et al. v. Vesync (US) Corp., Case No. 510627/2026, pending in the Kings County Supreme Court of the State of New York before Judge Katherine Levine. A state court authorized the class notice, which sets November 3, 2026 as the date by which a claim form has to be submitted online and the Fairness Hearing for February 17, 2027.The lawsuit alleges that Vesync made false or misleading “True HEPA,” “HEPA” and “H13” claims about Levoit-branded Core and EverestAir air purifiers and replacement filters sold in the United States between August 29, 2019 and August 4, 2023. Vesync unequivocally denies all allegations and maintains that it did not engage in any wrongdoing. The notice is explicit that the court has not decided who is right and that the parties agreed to settle to avoid the costs and risks of further litigation.
A separate proceeding covered the same advertising language. In August 2023, BBB National Programs announced that Vesync Co., Ltd. had voluntarily discontinued certain HEPA claims for Levoit purifiers following a National Advertising Division challenge brought by competitor Dyson, Inc. Vesync told the National Advertising Division that it did not concede there was anything misleading about the claims and that it had elected to discontinue them for reasons unrelated to the challenge, and the division did not review the claims on their merits. That was an advertising self-regulatory matter involving the parent company rather than this lawsuit, and it produced no payment to consumers.

Who Qualifies?
The settlement class is anyone who purchased a Levoit-branded Core or EverestAir air purifier and/or replacement filter with “True HEPA,” “HEPA,” and/or “H13” language in the United States between August 29, 2019 and August 4, 2023.Four parts of that definition decide most eligibility questions. The class is nationwide — any United States purchase during the window counts, with no state limitation. It covers two product families, the Core line and the EverestAir line, and no others in the Levoit range. It covers replacement filters as well as the machines, so someone who bought filters for a purifier they already owned is inside the class on the same terms as someone who bought the purifier itself. And the qualifying feature is the labeling: the unit or filter has to have carried the “True HEPA,” “HEPA” or “H13” language.
The class period runs from August 29, 2019 through August 4, 2023, which is a four-year window. A purchase made after August 4, 2023 is outside the class no matter what the packaging said.
Levoit is a Vesync brand, and the defendant named in this case is Vesync (US) Corp. Purchases of air purifiers from other manufacturers are not covered here, whatever their filter claims. OCA separately tracked the closed Molekule air purifier settlement, which resolved a different company's indoor-air-quality marketing and is no longer accepting claims.
How Much Can You Get?
A Settlement Class Member who submits a valid claim is eligible to receive a $10.00 USD digital payment. That is the whole benefit — there is no tiered option, no documented-loss track, and no larger amount available to someone who bought more expensive models.The figure is not unconditional. The notice states that the total amount available for Settlement Awards is capped at $15,000,000, and that if the total value of valid claims exceeds that amount the awards are reduced on a proportional basis. Divided by the $10 award, the cap covers 1.5 million valid claims before any reduction starts. Whether the program reaches that point cannot be known until the claim window closes, because the settlement documents publish no claim-rate estimate and no class size. Anyone reading the $10 as a guaranteed floor should read it instead as a stated award subject to a stated cap.
Two amounts that often reduce a class member's payment do not reduce this one. Class Counsel will ask the court to approve attorneys' fees and litigation costs not to exceed $5,244,500, and service awards not to exceed a combined $11,500 for the class representatives. The notice states that if approved, both are paid separately by Vesync and will not reduce Settlement Awards to Settlement Class Members. Vesync agreed not to oppose the fee request up to $5,244,500, and the court decides the amount and may award less than is requested.
Payment arrives as a digital payment sent to the email address and/or mobile phone number given on the claim form, so those details need to be ones the claimant will still be reachable at when payments are issued.
What Proof or Notice ID Is Required?
This page marks Proof Required: Yes, and it does so on the settlement website's own terms. The Submit a Claim page states that for a claim form to be valid, the claimant must provide evidence of purchase showing the original date of purchase, along with an email address, full name, address, signature and election of payment method.There are two ways in, and neither removes the proof requirement. A class member who received an email invitation begins by verifying eligibility with an Apex ID and a PIN — an administrator-issued credential, which is itself proof under the standard this site applies. A class member who never received an invitation uses a separate path that starts from a name and email address and then walks through the claim form, and the settlement website states plainly on that page that proof of purchase is required. So the credential is skippable; the purchase record is not.
The settlement website does not publish a list of accepted document types, and this page will not invent one. What the requirement asks for is a record showing the original date of purchase, which is the element that establishes whether the purchase falls inside the August 29, 2019 to August 4, 2023 class period. A claim the administrator cannot validate is rejected rather than paid at a reduced amount, so anyone whose only record is a purchase they remember making should check what the official claim form will accept before the deadline.
What Is the Deadline?
Four deadlines fall on the same day, November 3, 2026, which makes the date easy to remember and easy to blow past in the wrong direction.- A claim form has to be submitted online by November 3, 2026.
- A request for exclusion has to be postmarked by November 3, 2026 and mailed to the settlement administrator. It cannot be made by telephone or email.
- An objection has to be postmarked by November 3, 2026 and sent to both the settlement administrator and the court.
- Anyone who wants to speak at the Fairness Hearing has to say so in that written objection, filed by the same date.
An objection carries a longer list of required contents than an exclusion request: the case name and number, the objector's full contact details, the specific grounds with any supporting papers, the identity of any attorney representing them, any witnesses they intend to call, whether they intend to appear at the hearing, a list of objections they or their lawyer have filed to class action settlements in the last ten years, and their signature. Objecting and filing a claim are separate steps — the notice states that a class member who objects may still file a claim form and will receive a Settlement Award if the claim is valid.
How Do You Take Action?
Claims are filed on the official settlement website, LAP Settlement.com. The site carries the notice, the case documents, both claim paths and a downloadable claim form.A class member who received an email invitation goes to the Submit a Claim page and verifies eligibility with the Apex ID and PIN from that email. A class member who did not receive one uses the no-invitation claim path, which opens from a first name, last name and email address and then leads through the claim form and the proof-of-purchase upload.
Either way the completed form needs evidence of purchase showing the original date of purchase, a signature, and a choice of how to be paid. The settlement agreement, the preliminary approval motion, the complaint and the fee request are posted on the site's Case Documents page for anyone who wants the underlying terms rather than the summary.
A class member who wants to keep the right to sue Vesync separately over these claims has to mail a signed exclusion request, postmarked by November 3, 2026. Doing nothing means staying in the class, releasing the claims the settlement resolves, and receiving nothing.
What Happens Next?
The next scheduled event is the Fairness Hearing on February 17, 2027 at 11:00 a.m. ET, held by video conference before the Kings County Supreme Court of the State of New York. The court will consider whether the settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate, will hear any timely objections and anyone who asked to appear, and will rule on the requested attorneys' fees, costs and service awards. The notice warns that the date and time can change by court order and that changes are posted on the settlement website.Class members do not have to attend, and Class Counsel represents the class at the hearing. A timely written objection is considered whether or not the objector shows up.
Payment comes later than approval, and the notice is unusually direct about how much later. Settlement Awards are sent only if the court approves the settlement and after any appeals are resolved, and the notice states that resolving appeals can take time, potentially more than one year. No payment date has been announced.

Questions
Will everyone who files actually get the full $10?
Not necessarily. The notice states that the total amount available for Settlement Awards is capped at $15,000,000 and that awards are reduced on a proportional basis if the total value of valid claims exceeds that figure. At $10 per claim, the cap covers 1.5 million valid claims before any reduction begins, so the payment stays at the full $10 unless filings pass that mark. The settlement documents give no claim-rate projection, so how close the program comes to the cap will not be known until the claim period closes on November 3, 2026.
What counts as evidence of purchase for a Levoit air purifier bought years ago?
The settlement website states that a valid claim form must include evidence of purchase showing the original date of purchase, and it does not publish a list of accepted document types. In practice the date of purchase is the element being proven, so a record that carries it is what the requirement is aimed at — an online order history entry, an emailed order confirmation, a card or bank statement line, or a dated receipt. Class members who cannot produce a dated record should read the requirement on the official settlement website before filing, because a claim the administrator cannot validate is rejected rather than paid at a lower amount.
I bought several Levoit purifiers and filters. Can I file more than one claim?
The notice describes the benefit as a $10.00 USD digital payment to Settlement Class Members who submit a valid claim, phrased per class member rather than per unit purchased, and it does not describe a multiplier for additional purchases. It also does not state a household limit. Anyone who bought multiple covered units should confirm on the official settlement website how the claim form treats them before assuming a second payment is available.
Do the attorneys' fees come out of the $10 payments?
No. Class Counsel will ask the court to approve attorneys' fees and costs not to exceed $5,244,500 and service awards not to exceed a combined $11,500, and the notice states that if approved these amounts are paid separately by Vesync and will not reduce Settlement Awards to Settlement Class Members. Vesync agreed not to oppose the fee request up to that figure. The court decides the amount and may award less than is requested.
When would a payment actually arrive?
No payment date has been announced. The court will hold a Fairness Hearing on February 17, 2027 to decide whether to approve the settlement, and the notice states that awards are sent only if the court approves the settlement and after any appeals are resolved. It also warns that resolving appeals can take time, potentially more than one year. A valid claim filed by November 3, 2026 is paid by digital payment to the email address or mobile number given on the claim form once that process completes.
Does this settlement mean Levoit purifiers do not filter the air?
No. The lawsuit challenges the “True HEPA,” “HEPA” and “H13” labeling used on Levoit Core and EverestAir purifiers and replacement filters between August 29, 2019 and August 4, 2023 — an advertising claim about how the products were described, not a finding about how they perform. Vesync unequivocally denies all allegations and denies any wrongdoing, the court has not decided who is right, and the notice states the parties agreed to settle to avoid the costs and risks of further litigation.
