The court’s exact words

All citizens of the State of Florida who: (i) between July 28, 2013 and January 31, 2018, purchased non-prescription, non-promotional Costa sunglasses for personal use ( Purchase Class) or (ii) were charged a fee by Costa between July 28, 2012 and January 26, 2025 to replace damaged components of their non-prescription, non-promotional Costa sunglasses (for sunglasses purchased on or before January 31, 2018) ( Repair Class).

Quoted from the official notice. Read the notice for the full definition.

Our notes: The lawsuit claimed Costa's promise to repair sunglasses for a 'nominal fee' was deceptive and that Costa breached that warranty by charging more; Costa denies it. There are two classes, both limited to citizens of Florida. Purchase Class: bought non-prescription, non-promotional Costa sunglasses for personal use between July 28, 2013 and January 31, 2018; these people must file a claim. Repair Class: bought such sunglasses on or before January 31, 2018 and were charged a fee by Costa between July 28, 2012 and January 26, 2025 to replace damaged components; repairs must have exceeded $11.95; these people are paid automatically and do not file. Anyone in both classes takes part only as a Repair Class member and may not file a claim form. Excluded: Costa and entities it controls, their legal representatives, employees, officers, directors, assigns and successors, and the judge and judge's staff. Read the FAQ and Settlement Agreement for the full definitions.
