What Is Theranos Blood Testing Services Class Action Settlement?
The case is In re Arizona Theranos, Inc., Litigation is a lawsuit against Defendants Theranos, Inc., Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. and Walgreen Arizona Drug Company (together called “Walgreens”), Elizabeth Holmes, and Ramesh Balwani
What Is This Class Action All About?
The Plaintiffs are all individuals who purchased Theranos blood testing services and allege that the Theranos blood testing services were not market-ready and not capable of producing reliable results, and that Defendants concealed these facts.
Plaintiffs also claim that Theranos’s “tiny” blood technology (blood drawn by fingerpricks) was still in development and that Walgreens committed battery on customers whose blood was drawn by Walgreens employees with fingerpricks because those customers consented under false pretenses. The Defendants deny these allegations. The Court has not decided whether the Defendants have done anything wrong. That will not happen until the trial.
The Plaintiffs seek monetary relief, including refunds for the Theranos testing services (subject to any refunds Defendants have already paid you), punitive damages for fraud, and (against Walgreens only) damages for the dignitary harm incurred by the customers whose blood was drawn by Walgreens employees with fingerpricks.
This lawsuit does not seek damages or other relief for personal injury, emotional distress, retesting costs, or medical care costs. If you wish to pursue any of that relief, you would need to exclude yourself from this case (“opt out”) and proceed with separate litigation on your own behalf. For contact Info.
