The settlement, if approved by the court, could provide payments to eligible customers. Two subclass groups, Subclass A and Subclass B, have different criteria for eligibility. Those in Subclass A will receive automatic payments by visiting a settlement website within 105 days after the court's final approval. Subclass B members must submit a claim form by December 1, 2026. Amazon denies the allegations and the court has not found any wrongdoing.",
