The Judicial Circuit Court for Broward County, Florida, authorized the Notice. You have a right to know about the proposed Settlement of this class action lawsuit, and about all of your options, before the Court decides whether to grant final approval of the Settlement. The Notice explains the lawsuit, your legal rights, what benefits are available, and who can receive them.
The lawsuit is called Kevin Mitchael v. 301 Scrubs Investors, LLC d/b/a Scrubs & Beyond, LLC d/b/a Kindthread, Case No. CACE-26-000716. It is pending in the Judicial Circuit Court for Broward County, Florida. The people that filed this lawsuit are called the “Plaintiff” (or “Class Representatives”) and the company they sued, 301 Scrubs Investors, LLC d/b/a Scrubs & Beyond, LLC d/b/a Kindthread, is called the “Defendant.”

This lawsuit alleges that during the June 2024 targeted cyberattack on 301 Scrubs' computer systems, certain files that contained Private Information were accessed. These files may have contained personal information such as names; Social Security numbers; dates of birth; and employee identification numbers.

In a class action, one or more individuals sue on behalf of other people with similar claims. These individuals are called the “Plaintiff” or “Class Representatives.” Together, the people included in the class action are called a “Class” or “Class Members.” One court resolves the lawsuit for all Class Members, except for those who opt out from the settlement. In this proposed Settlement, the Class Representative is Kevin Mitchael. Everyone included in this Action are the Settlement Class Members.
Back To Top
The Court did not decide whether the Plaintiff or the Defendant are right. Both sides have agreed to a Settlement to avoid the costs and risks of a trial, and to allow the Settlement Class Members to receive benefits from the Settlement. The Plaintiff and their attorneys think the Settlement is best for all Settlement Class Members.

The court has defined the Settlement Class this way: “All living individuals in the United States who were sent notice that their Private Information was implicated in the Data Incident.”
Back To Top
Yes. Excluded from the Class are: (a) all persons who are directors and officers of Defendant; (b) governmental entities; and (c) the Judge assigned to the Action, that Judge’s immediate family, and Court staff.

All Settlement Class Members may claim Credit Monitoring and one of two Cash Payment options. The benefits are explained in more detail below.
Credit Monitoring. All Settlement Class Members are eligible to enroll in two years of CyEx Identity Defense Complete. This comprehensive service comes with $1 million of identity theft insurance, and includes monitoring. If anything suspicious happens, you will be able to talk to a fraud resolution agent to help fix any problems.
Cash Payments. Settlement Class Members who have documented losses may claim payment from Cash Payment A – Documented Losses. Alternatively, Settlement Class Members may claim a one-time cash payment from Cash Payment B – Alternate Cash. You may claim only one total payment from these options.
Cash Payment A – Documented Losses. If you incurred actual, documented out-of-pocket losses due to the Data Incident, you can get back up to $2,500.00. The losses must have occurred between June 6, 2024 and May 18, 2026. This benefit covers out-of-pocket expenses like:
losses because of identity theft or fraud
fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or freezing and unfreezing your credit
cost to replace your IDs
postage to contact banks by mail
You need to send proof, like receipts, to show how much you spent or lost. Your personal certifications, declarations, or affidavits do not constitute reasonable documentation to make a valid claim, but you may include that to provide clarification, context, or support for other submitted reasonable documentation showing that your expenses were because of the Data Incident.
You cannot claim a payment for expenses that have already been reimbursed by a third party.
OR
Cash Payment B – Alternate Cash. Instead of Cash Payment A, you may claim a one-time $50.00 cash payment. You do not have to provide any proof or explanation to claim this payment.

The Court will hold a Final Approval Hearing on June 2, 2026, (see Question 18). If the Court approves the Settlement, there may be appeals. We do not know if appeals will be filed, or how long it will take to resolve them if they are filed.
Settlement payments will be distributed if the Court grants final approval, and after any appeals are resolved.
Please be patient.

Yes, the Court has appointed attorneys Jeff Ostrow of Kopelowitz Ostrow P.A.; Andrew Shamis of Shamis & Gentile P.A.; and Mariya Weekes of Milberg PLLC, to represent you and other Settlement Class Members (“Class Counsel”).

If you do not want to be part of the Settlement, you must formally exclude yourself from the Settlement. This is called an Opt-Out Request. If you opt-out, you are telling the Court that you do not want to be part of the Settlement. You will not be eligible to receive any Settlement benefits if you opt-out. However, you will keep any rights you may have to sue 301 Scrubs on your own about the legal issues in this case. The deadline to opt-out from the Settlement is May 4, 2026.
To be valid, your Opt-Out Request must have the following information:
the name of the Litigation: Kevin Mitchael v. 301 Scrubs Investors, LLC d/b/a Scrubs & Beyond, LLC d/b/a Kindthread, Case No. CACE-26-000716, pending in the Judicial Circuit Court for Broward County, Florida;
your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
personal signature; and
the words “Opt-Out Request” or a clear and similar statement that you do not want to participate in the Settlement.
You may only exclude yourself—not any other person.
Mail your Request for Exclusion to the Settlement Administrator at:
301 Scrubs Data Incident Settlement
c/o Settlement Administrator
P.O. Box 25226
Santa Ana, CA 92799-9958
Your Opt-Out Request must be submitted and postmarked by May 4, 2026.

You cannot object if you have opted-out from the Settlement (see Question 15).
You must provide the following information for the Court to consider your objection:

the identity of all counsel who represent the objector, including any former or current counsel who may be entitled to compensation for any reason related to the objection to the Settlement and/or Application for Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, and Service Awards;
the number of times in which the objector’s counsel and/or counsel’s law firm have objected to a class action settlement within the five years preceding the date of the filed objection, the caption of each case in which counsel or the firm has made such objection and a copy of any orders related to or ruling upon counsel’s or the counsel’s law firm’s prior objections that were issued by the trial and appellate courts in each listed case in which the objector’s counsel and/or counsel’s law firm have objected to a class action settlement within the preceding five years;

a statement confirming whether the objector intends to personally appear and/or testify at the Final Approval Hearing; and
the objector’s signature (an attorney’s signature is not sufficient).
For your objection to be considered, it must meet each of these requirements.

Objecting is telling the Court that you do not like something about the Settlement. You can object to the Settlement only if you do not opt-out from the Settlement. Opting out from the Settlement is stating to the Court that you do not want to be part of the Settlement. If you opt-out of the Settlement, you cannot object to it because the Settlement no longer affects you.

The Court will hold a final approval on June 2, 2026, at 9:30 a.m., Eastern Time, in Room 16150 of the Judicial Circuit Court for Broward County, Florida, at 201 SE 6th St. Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301, or by video conference.
At the Final Approval Hearing, the Court will decide whether to approve the Settlement.

The date and time of this hearing may change without further notice. Please check this website for updates.

No. Class Counsel will answer any questions the Court may have. You may attend at your own expense if you wish, but you do not have to.
If you file an objection, you do not have to come to the Final Approval Hearing to talk about it; the Court will consider it as long as it was filed on time. You may also pay your own lawyer to attend, but you do not have to.
