The lawsuit is called <i>In re Arizona Theranos, Inc., Litigation<\/i>, Case No. 2:16-cv-2138-DGC.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This notice does not imply that there has been any violation of law or wrongdoing by Defendants or that there will be recovery after trial. Defendants contend that they did not do anything wrong, and they are not liable for any harm alleged by the Plaintiffs.\u00a0There is no money available now, and there is no guarantee that there will be. \u00a0Even if money does become available, you will not be allowed to recover for any amounts that Defendants have already paid you. However, your legal rights may be affected, and you may have a choice to make now.<\/p>\n<p><b>What <\/b><b>is this lawsuit about?<\/b>\u00a0 The claims in the lawsuit arise out of Theranos blood testing services offered in Walgreens and Theranos stores. The lawsuit claims, among other things, that these blood testing services were not capable of producing reliable results, that the Defendants concealed the blood testing services&#8217; unreliability, that Walgreens knew that the blood testing services were unreliable and not market-ready, that the Defendants conspired to commit fraud on consumers, that Theranos&#8217;s &#8220;tiny&#8221; blood testing technology (blood drawn with fingerpricks) was still in development, and that the customers who were subject to &#8220;tiny&#8221; Theranos blood draws by Walgreens employees gave their consent to those blood draws under false pretenses.<\/p>\n<p>The Defendants deny these claims. Walgreens maintains it did not know that Theranos&#8217;s blood testing services &#8220;were unreliable and not market-ready,&#8221; and that it therefore did not conspire to commit fraud on consumers. Walgreens further maintains that it was, in fact, a victim of Theranos&#8217;s fraud. Holmes and Balwani, on the other hand, contend that Theranos&#8217;s test results were generally accurate and reliable, and that consumers were neither deceived nor injured. Defendants also assert that most class members have already been fully reimbursed for amounts paid for the tests through the <span class=\"xn-location\">Arizona<\/span> Attorney General Consent Decree or otherwise, and so no other recovery is necessary or available to those class members. Plaintiffs claim that some class members have not been refunded or fully refunded for the tests and that other damages, beyond refunds for the tests, are due to class members.<\/p>\n<p>The Court has not decided whether the Defendants have done anything wrong. That will not happen until the trial. The Court appointed two law firms\u2015Lieff Cabraser Heimann &amp; Bernstein LLP and Keller Rohrback LLP\u2015as &#8220;Class Counsel&#8221; to represent the Class and Subclasses.<\/p>\n<p>This lawsuit does <u>not<\/u> seek damages or other relief for personal injury, emotional distress, retesting costs, or medical care costs. If you wish to pursue any of that relief, you need to exclude yourself (&#8220;opt out&#8221;) from this lawsuit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>More information about the claims in this case can be found in the operative Second Amended Complaint and in other key case documents which may be viewed at <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3588872-1&amp;h=4134535832&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theranoslawsuit.com%2F&amp;a=www.TheranosLawsuit.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.TheranosLawsuit.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Am I part of the Class?<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0The Court has certified a Class and three Subclasses.
