Important Class Action Lawsuit Notification for ISCO Industries Employees Affected by Data Breach

Important Class Action Lawsuit Notification

A significant development has emerged for current and former employees of ISCO Industries, Inc. A court has certified a class action lawsuit regarding a data breach that occurred in March 2016, which may affect the rights of those whose personal identification information (PII) was exposed. The case, known as Davis, et al. v. ISCO Industries, Inc., is being overseen by the Honorable J. Derham Cole, Jr. at the Court of Common Pleas in Spartanburg County, South Carolina.

Background of the Lawsuit

In March 2016, a breach resulted in the unauthorized release of W2 forms belonging to hundreds of employees. This included sensitive information such as names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and compensation details. The repercussions of such leaks could lead to identity theft and other fraudulent activities, putting the affected individuals at risk.

Upon reviewing the case details, the plaintiffs allege that ISCO Industries had a responsibility to safeguard its employees’ PII. They assert that the company failed in this duty and did not provide adequate assistance to those impacted post-breach. Although the defendant categorically denies these claims, the court has determined that the case warrants a class action status, allowing individuals who meet certain criteria to join the lawsuit.

Who is Included in the Class?

As per the court's ruling on July 29, 2025, the following individuals qualify as part of the class: All current and former employees of ISCO Industries, Inc. whose personal information was compromised due to the March 2016 data breach. However, company owners or officers, as specified in ISCO's Form 1125-E filings with the IRS, are excluded from this classification.

What Should Affected Individuals Do?

For those included in this class action, no immediate action is required if they wish to remain part of the lawsuit. They will automatically retain their eligibility to receive any potential benefits, including compensation, that may result from the trial or settlement.

However, if an individual does not wish to participate in the class action, they must actively choose to opt out by December 5, 2025. To do this, they need to submit a written request, signed and dated, stating their intention to exclude themselves from the class action, addressed to:
