Thousands of Californians are being urged to check if they qualify for a privacy settlement payout of up to $5,000 before time runs out. The $1.74 million settlement stems from a class-action lawsuit against Consumer Safety Technology LLC, also known as Intoxalock, over alleged illegal call recordings.
The company was accused of violating California’s Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA) by allegedly recording phone calls without consumer consent. Although Intoxalock denies any wrongdoing, it has agreed to settle the lawsuit.
Who Is Eligible?
Only California residents who had a phone conversation with Intoxalock sales representatives between May 18, 2021, and February 8, 2022, are eligible to claim. No proof of record is required.
The deadline to submit a claim form is February 18, 2025.
Since the total payout depends on the number of claims filed, not every claimant will receive the full $5,000 maximum.
Other Settlements You Can Claim Now
Several major class-action settlements are currently available:
✅ Clif Bar Settlement ($12M Fund) – Payments for misleading product labeling.

✅ Bridgeway Center Data Breach Settlement (Up to $7,500) – Compensation for individuals affected by a breach.
✅ Magid Glove Settlement ($5.175M Fund) – Payouts from a lawsuit over deceptive claims.

The final approval hearing for the Progressive data breach settlement is scheduled for March 12, 2025.
