No. This is an automatic-payment settlement. Class members are identified from the defendant's records, and each eligible Syndeo owner or lessee receives an equal cash award. There is no claim form to submit. The only optional step is submitting an Election Form by September 14, 2026 to choose an electronic payment instead of a mailed check.

When will payments be issued?

Payments are expected within 60 days after the settlement becomes final and any appeals are resolved. The Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for December 4, 2026. Checks expire and become void 180 days after they are issued.

What Is This Settlement About?

Hydrafacial LLC dba The Hydrafacial Company has agreed to a $925,000 settlement to resolve a class action brought by New York businesses that acquired the company's Syndeo aesthetic treatment device. The case, captioned Sol Tan Tanning & Spa, LLC et al. v. Hydrafacial LLC dba The Hydrafacial Company, Case No. 1:24-cv-08073-VEC, is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The lawsuit alleged that the Syndeo device contained defects or non-conformities, in violation of New York consumer-protection and warranty law. Hydrafacial denies the allegations and denies that it did anything wrong; it agreed to settle only to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation. No court has ruled on the merits of the claims. The settlement resolves the New York class claims, while a set of separate individual settlements resolves the claims of the non-New York plaintiffs named in the case.

Status Pending Final Approval Final Approval Hearing set for December 4, 2026.

Payment Method Automatic — No Claim Form Elect electronic payment by September 14, 2026 (optional); otherwise a check is mailed.

Who Qualifies?

The settlement class generally includes any person or entity that purchased, leased, or otherwise acquired a Syndeo device within the state of New York on or before June 25, 2026.

How Much Can You Get?

There are no fixed tiers. Every participating class member receives an equal share of the Available Settlement Fund — the amount left from the $925,000 fund after the court deducts attorneys' fees and costs (Class Counsel may request up to 30%, or $277,500), a service award to the class representative, and the costs of administering the settlement. Because the payment is split equally, the exact per-member amount depends on how many class members participate and cannot be calculated until then.

Do You Need to File a Claim?

No. This is an automatic-payment settlement. Because every class member can be identified from Hydrafacial's records, there is no claim form to complete and no documentation to upload. After the settlement becomes final, the settlement administrator, Atticus Administration, mails a check to the last known address on file for each eligible class member.

The one optional step is choosing how you are paid: class members who would rather receive an electronic payment — by Venmo, PayPal, Zelle, direct deposit, or a virtual e-Mastercard — can submit an online Election Form by September 14, 2026. If you do nothing, a paper check is mailed to you automatically. If your address has changed, update it through the official settlement website so your check reaches you.

Key Deadlines

September 14, 2026 — Deadline to submit an Election Form to choose electronic payment instead of a mailed check (optional).
September 14, 2026 — Deadline to exclude yourself (opt out) from the settlement, or to object to it. Opting out preserves your right to sue separately but means you give up your payment.
December 4, 2026 at 10:00 AM — Final Approval Hearing, where the court decides whether to approve the settlement.

Payments are expected within 60 days after the settlement becomes final and any appeals are resolved. Checks expire and become void 180 days after they are issued. Dates can change by court order, so check the official settlement website for the latest schedule.

Avoiding Scams

Because eligible class members are paid automatically, no one needs your bank login, Social Security number, or an up-front "processing fee" to release your payment. Anyone who contacts you demanding payment or sensitive financial details to "unlock" this settlement is not the legitimate administrator. Use only the official settlement website to confirm your status, update your address, or set your payment preference.
