American Family Publishers Class Action
Lieff Cabraser served as co-lead counsel for a nationwide class of persons who received any sweepstakes materials sent under the name "American Family Publishers."
The class action lawsuit alleged that defendants deceived consumers into purchasing magazine subscriptions and merchandise in the belief that such purchases were necessary to win an American Family Publishers' sweepstakes prize or enhanced their chances of winning a sweepstakes prize.
In September 2000, the Court granted final approval of a $33 million settlement of the class action.
In April 2001, over 63,000 class members received refunds averaging over $500 each, representing 92% of their eligible purchases. In addition, American Family Publishers agreed to make significant changes to the way it conducts the sweepstakes.
