23 and Me Settlement
- Election Form can be filed online or by mail
- Compensation available via cash or certificate
- Administrator can be contacted with questions
It’s not everyday a class action arbitration allows Class Members to choose between 2 different forms of compensation. However, that appears to be exactly what is happening with the recent settlement of the case titled Davis-Hudson, et al. v. 23andMe, Inc. The settlement provides eligible Class Members with the choice of receiving a certificate good for $40 off the price of a 23 and Me Genetic Testing Kit or $12.50 in cash compensation for each Personal Genome Service (PGS) that was purchased. Those who would rather have the certificate can kick back and do nothing as the certificate will be sent automatically. However, those who opt for the cold hard cash will need to file an Election Form to receive compensation. Those who want to file the Election Form online can do so by going to the 23 and Me Settlement page and clicking the Submit Election Form tab.
