Hinton v. Don't Run Out, Inc. d/b/a Public Goods

What this case is about

This lawsuit was filed against Public Goods, a consumer goods company that sells household and personal care products, primarily through a membership-based model. The plaintiff, Hinton, alleges that Public Goods engaged in improper practices related to its subscription or membership program, likely involving automatic renewal charges that were not adequately disclosed to customers. The lawsuit suggests that consumers were signed up for recurring charges without clear notice or proper consent, resulting in unexpected fees on their accounts. The proposed class would likely include customers who signed up for a Public Goods membership or subscription and were subsequently charged recurring fees without receiving adequate prior disclosure about the automatic renewal terms and conditions.
