Hibbett will pay up to $6 million as part of a settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit that alleged violations of federal law passed to protect consumers’ credit card information.
The settlement class is defined as all U.S. consumers who paid using a credit or debit card at a Hibbett, City Gear or Sports Additions stores in the United States and for whom the store printed a point-of-sale receipt that displayed more than the last five digits of the payment card number between Dec. 15, 2020, and Feb. 23, 2022.
Hibbett/City Gear sells sports and casual gear and apparel. The company operates more than 1,000 retail stores in 35 states. It is headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama.
The class action lawsuit alleged Hibbett Retail and City Gear violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, which is commonly known as FACTA. Among other things, FACTA forbids businesses from putting too much credit card information on printed receipts. The purpose of that provision is to prevent theft.
