Ballard Spahr Alert: FTC Study - Class Action Settlement Notices Have Room to Improve
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently released its preliminary report on two studies it conducted to help understand the effectiveness of class action settlement notices and to “develop information to help improve settlement outcomes for consumers.” The report shows that claims rates, regardless of the form of notice, are very low and that some of the more costly forms of notice, like publications in magazines and national newspapers, do not significantly increase the claims rate. The FTC did, however, identify certain characteristics contained in emails (the least expensive form of notice) that improved open rates and consumers’ comprehension of notices. Regardless, consumers’ comprehension of the emails was very low—less than half. The FTC noted that the results suggest that consumers view class action settlement notices with healthy skepticism.
