The settlement alleges that the pop culture collectibles company misled investors about its financial health before an initial public offering (IPO).
According to the class action lawsuit, the firm regularly sent an excess number of products to retailers in order to inflate sale numbers.
Stock was then traded at artificially high prices, which resulted in investors suffering serious losses when the truth was exposed.
Funko has denied all the allegations but has agreed to a $14.75 million settlement, with hundreds of investors due a chunk of the money.
To get your hands on the case, you must file a claim by July 2, 2025.
GET YOUR MONEY
Up to $0.91 per share will be offered, depending on the number of shares held.
ARE YOU ELIGIBLE?
Anyone who purchased a share in the IPO will receive a payment of almost a dollar per share, depending on the number of shares held.
However, the final amount can’t be known until all claims have been evaluated.
MORE MONEY
T-Mobile is also sending out the first round of $25,000 checks from the $350 million data breach settlement.
The data breach settlement has been involved in the lawsuit for years, relating to a 2021 cyberattack.
Roughly 76 million customers were exposed, potentially revealing personal information such as addresses, Social Security numbers, and dates of birth.
Popular home appliance brand Whirlpool is also paying up after it was found that some of its refrigerators, sold under three different brands, may develop frost build-up that interferes with cooling.
The lawsuit alleges that specific Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Maytag refrigerators sold between 2012 and 2019 have a manufacturing defect that causes excessive frost to accumulate on the evaporator.
This frost buildup allegedly prevents the refrigerator from cooling food properly, leading to other damage.
Meanwhile, Apple is making payouts to former owners of Siri Devices.
The settlement alleges that the company recorded confidential or private communications from current or former owners or purchasers of Siri Devices.
It’s also alleged that while Apple obtained the users’ information, it was then shared with third parties due to an “unintended Siri activation,” according to the settlement website.
The claims alleged are a violation of consumer protection laws and privacy laws.
However, Apple denies all of the allegations and that it did anything improper or unlawful despite settling.
