Sprouts Farmers Market Settlement

The Sprouts FACTA Settlement resolves claims that Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. and SFM, LLC violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, also called FACTA, by printing more than the last five digits of customers’ credit, debit, or EBT card numbers on electronically printed receipts. Sprouts denies the allegations and does not admit wrongdoing, but agreed to a proposed settlement to avoid the cost and uncertainty of further litigation.

According to the official settlement FAQ, the lawsuits are Larry Tran v. Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc., et al., Case No. 22STCV26572 and Robert Cohen v. Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc., et al., Case No. 23STCV08339. The cases were consolidated and are pending in the Los Angeles County Superior Court. The settlement covers certain people who used a personal credit card or debit card at a Sprouts grocery store in the United States and received an electronically printed receipt that showed more than the last five digits of the card number.

For non-EBT credit and debit card transactions, the class period runs from August 16, 2020 through October 31, 2022. For EBT card transactions, the class period runs from March 15, 2021 through April 15, 2023. If you qualify and submit a valid claim, your payment will come from a $5,000,000 non-reversionary cash fund. After court-approved attorneys’ fees, costs, service awards, and administration expenses are deducted, the remaining net cash fund will be divided equally on a pro-rata basis among eligible claimants who submit valid and timely claims.

The official FAQ explains that there are two claim paths. Some class members received written email notice with a Notice Number beginning with the letter P. Those individuals can submit a Short-Form Claim Form attesting that at least one listed transaction was made with their personal card. Class members who did not receive that notice must submit a Claim Form-R and provide documentation, such as a qualifying receipt or card statement. Because one valid claim route requires documents, the overall classification for this settlement is Proof Required.

If approved, the settlement also requires Sprouts to implement a written company policy stating that it will not print more than the last five digits of a customer’s credit or debit card number or the card expiration date on printed receipts.
