Sprouts Farmers Market $5 Million FACTA Settlement — Get Cash for Shopping at Sprouts
A $5 million class action settlement has been reached in Tran v. Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. et al. over allegations that Sprouts violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) by printing more than the last five digits of customers's credit, debit, or EBT card numbers on receipts.
What Did Sprouts Do Wrong?
Under federal law (FACTA, 15 U.S.C. §1681c(g)), retailers are prohibited from printing more than the last 5 digits of a card number or the expiration date on electronically printed receipts. The lawsuit alleges that Sprouts violated this law by printing more than 5 digits of customers's credit card, debit card, and EBT card numbers on receipts.
Sprouts denies the allegations but agreed to the settlement to avoid further litigation.
