SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 10 –
Kari
Proskin, on
behalf of a
class of all
others
similarly
situated,
sued
Tzumi
Innovations
LLC for
predatory
marketing to
low income
consumers as
antibacterial
products a
series of hand
wipes.
On January 10,
2023 U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Jed S. Rakoff
held a
proceeding,
after a day
presiding over
the adidas v.
Thom Browne
jury trial.
Inner City
Press covered
both.
The wipes
class action
was proposing
to settle,
after a
mediation by a
former judge
whom all
described as
respected.
Still,
Judge Rakoff
wanted to
know, how was
$2 million
arrived at?
And why was
class counsel
taking
one-third?
Plaintiffs'
lawyer said
the $3 apiece
compensation
was generous,
but agreed to
include in the
notice a
disclosure of
the fees, so
that anyone
could object.
She
added that the
notice will
also include a
description of
all the firm's
work.
The
case is
Proskin v.
Tzumi
Innovations
LLC,
22-cv-5919
(Rakoff)
