Overview of the Labcorp Class Action Settlement

If you've used Labcorp's website to conduct searches between May 1, 2021, and April 1, 2026, you might be impacted by a recent class action settlement. The lawsuit stems from allegations that Labcorp violated wiretapping laws in California and Pennsylvania by allowing third-party tracking technologies to capture users' personal data during their online interactions. While Labcorp firmly denies these allegations, a settlement has been reached to resolve the matter.

Who is Affected?

The settlement includes individuals from two specific classes:

• - California Settlement Class: Anyone in California who utilized the Labcorp website for search queries during the specified timeframe.
• - Pennsylvania Settlement Class: Anyone in Pennsylvania who accessed the Labcorp website for searches during the same period.

A Search Query refers to any terms or phrases entered into the Labcorp search bar or selected from any menu on the site.

Settlement Terms and Provisions

If the settlement receives court approval, several key measures will be enacted by Labcorp to address the allegations. Labcorp has agreed to:
1. Cease Use of Certain Tracking Technologies: Labcorp will no longer use or allow specific tracking technologies, such as Meta Pixel and Google Analytics, on its website for a period of two years.
2. Annual Review Compliance: Labcorp will conduct yearly reviews and generate compliance reports to ensure that prohibited technologies are not being utilized.
3. Written Policy Creation: The company will establish and maintain a documented policy regulating the use of third-party tracking technologies on its website.
4. Senior Compliance Oversight: Labcorp will appoint a senior employee to oversee adherence to the settlement's terms.

Limitations of the Settlement

It is crucial to understand that the settlement primarily offers injunctive relief rather than compensatory damages. As a member of the Settlement Class (excluding Settlement Class Representatives), you will not be able to pursue claims for money or damages. By approving the settlement, you also waive your right to sue Labcorp over related issues.

Members of the Settlement Class cannot opt-out of the settlement. If the settlement is approved by the court, all members will be bound by its terms.

How to Voice Your Opinion

If you believe the proposed settlement lacks fairness or reasonableness, you can submit objections or comments postmarked by November 23, 2026. For instructions on submitting objections, you can visit the official settlement website or contact their helpline at 1-877-378-7520.

The court will conduct a Final Approval Hearing to determine the settlement's appropriateness and may address issues regarding attorneys' fees and service awards. While you are not required to attend this hearing, you have the option to do so at your own expense.
