SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The following statement is being issued by Keller Grover regarding the Cabela’s Call Recording Settlement.
San Francisco County Superior Court
CABELA’S CALL RECORDING SETTLEMENT
A proposed $3,850,000 class action settlement has been reached in the lawsuit Saunders, et al. v. Cabela’s Wholesale, Inc., San Francisco County Superior Court Case No. CGC-14-537095. The lawsuit claims that Cabela’s Wholesale, Inc. recorded telephone calls of persons calling its toll free customer-service lines without telling callers that the calls may be recorded, allegedly in violation of California law. Defendant has denied the claims. Nonetheless, Defendant and the Class Representatives have agreed to settle the dispute to avoid the uncertainty and costs of further litigation and trial.
Who is a class member?
You are a class member if you are a natural person who: (1) during the period December 12, 2012 through February 18, 2014, inclusive, placed a call while physically located in California to one of Cabela’s toll free telephone numbers and spoke with a representative of Cabela’s; and (2) was either a California resident at the time such call was made or used a phone number with a California area code to place such call regardless of your residency. This settlement covers those calls.
