Mizuno USA Data Breach Settlement 2026 -- File a Claim by June 15

What happened

Class period: Documented losses must have been incurred between August 21, 2024 and March 23, 2026.

On November 6, 2024, Mizuno USA, Inc. detected an unauthorized cybersecurity attack on its systems. The company's investigation determined that files containing sensitive personal information, including names, Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, driver's license numbers, and passport numbers, may have been accessed. Mizuno sent breach notification letters to affected individuals in or around January 2025.

A class action lawsuit, Freiburger v. Mizuno USA, Inc. (Case No. 25EV010647), was filed in the State Court of Fulton County, Georgia. Mizuno denies any wrongdoing, but both sides agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of a trial. Your running shoes outperformed the company's cybersecurity. Now it's time to collect.

The settlement covers all U.S. residents who received a notice from Mizuno USA about the breach.
