A proposed Settlement in a class action lawsuit, Chatman v. Euromarket Designs, Inc. d/b/a Crate & Barrel, Case No. 2018 CH 09277, is pending in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, County Department, Chancery Division. The Settlement would resolve a lawsuit alleging that workers were required to provide their biometric identifiers and/or biometric information for timekeeping purposes without first providing them with legally-required written disclosures and obtaining written consent in accordance with the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, 740 ILCS 14.1 et seq. (“BIPA”).

Crate & Barrel and the other Released Parties contest these claims and deny that any of them violated BIPA. However, Crate & Barrel has agreed to settle the matter to avoid further costly, distracting, and time-consuming litigation without any admission or finding of wrongdoing.

You are a member of the Settlement Class if Crate & Barrel’s records show that you may have scanned or otherwise used a finger, hand, or palm (or any portion thereof) or any other biometric identifier or information to enroll in or clock into or out of Crate & Barrel’s and/or CB2’s timekeeping system in the state of Illinois at any time from July 24, 2013, to March 12, 2024.
