If you received a call on your cell phone from Powell Electric, or you called Powell Electric at 800-660-8076 or 310-836-8076 from your cell phone, between May 14, 2019 and May 14, 2020, the call was recorded while you were in California, and you did not consent to have the call with Powell Electric audio recorded, you may be entitled to compensation under a class action settlement.

• A consumer (“Class Representative”) brought a lawsuit alleging that K M P Enterprises d/b/a Powell Electric (“Powell Electric” or “Defendant”), violated the California Invasion of Privacy Act (“CIPA”), § 632.7, by audio recording cellular telephone calls without consent of all parties to the call.

• A proposed class action settlement has been reached in this case, which affects individuals in California who were called on their cell phone by Powell Electric, or who called Powell Electric at 800-660-8076 or 310-836-8076 from their cell phone, between May 14, 2019 and May 14, 2020 (the “Class Period”), where the call was recorded, and who did not consent to have the call with Powell Electric audio recorded.

• The settlement, if approved, will provide a $1,900,000.00 settlement fund (“Common Fund”) from which Settlement Class Members will be sent a settlement check without the need to submit a claim form. The common fund will be used to pay a settlement check to Settlement Class Members whose name and address are known or identified through reasonable efforts. It is estimated that each Settlement Class Member will be sent a check in the amount of $178.00 as a cash payment; however, this is only an estimate.

• You are a “Settlement Class Member” who is eligible to receive a settlement payment if you were called on your cell phone by Powell Electric, or you called Powell Electric at 800-660-8076 or 310-836-8076 from your cell phone, between May 14, 2019, and May 14, 2020, the call was recorded while you were in California, and you did not consent to have the call with Powell Electric audio recorded. Defendant’s employees are excluded from the Settlement.

• In addition to paying a cash settlement check to Settlement Class Members, the Common Fund will be used to pay attorneys’ fees and litigation costs to attorneys representing the Class Representative and the Settlement Class (the “Class Counsel”), any service award to the Class Representative, the reasonable costs of notice and administration of the settlement, and a possible charitable contribution to one or more charities if there are funds remaining from uncashed settlement checks. Defendant also agrees to change its call recording practices.
