Weis Markets, the parent company of dozens of supermarkets throughout the East Coast, recently reached a class action settlement over allegations it printed too many numbers on some customers' credit or debit card receipts.
Anyone who made a purchase at Weis Markets, Mr. Z's Supermarket, King's Supermarket, Scot's Lo Cost or SuperPetz pet store from Dec. 4, 2006, through June 7, 2009, may be eligible to receive a voucher up to $7.50 that can be used at a Weis Markets store.
Some Weis Markets' customers filed the class action lawsuit, which revolved around paper receipts that allegedly contained more digits of the credit or debit card account number than was allowable when the federal Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act went into effect. Weis Markets denied liability, but the parties agreed to settle the claims to avoid the risk of further litigation.
