What is the $3.5M HomeAgain Class Action About?
HomeAgain, a well-known pet microchipping and recovery service, has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit for $3.5 million. The lawsuit claims that HomeAgain misled consumers into purchasing unnecessary subscription plans for their microchips to function properly.
Intervet, the parent company of HomeAgain and part of Merck Animal Health, has settled the case after allegations that the company falsely represented the need for pet owners to pay for HomeAgain memberships or premium services.
It’s important to note that the lawsuit does not question the safety or effectiveness of the microchips or the recovery services. Instead, it centers on deceptive marketing practices that misled consumers about the necessity of certain paid services.
What is the Total Settlement Amount?
The total settlement is estimated to be $3.5 million.
