Have you followed our updates on the AllCare Plus Pharmacy data breach or tracked your eligibility in the DraftKings NFT settlement? If so, you already know Sparrow turns legal fine print into practical payouts. Now, another case is heating up—this time involving a company more known for cookware than cybersecurity. Sur La Table has found itself in legal hot water after a 2023 data breach compromised customer data.
This latest class action affects individuals who received a breach notification from Sur La Table around May 24, 2023. Hackers accessed sensitive consumer information, including Social Security numbers, insurance data, and contact details. The settlement doesn’t just cover general class members—it also includes a California subclass eligible for additional statutory compensation.
While Sur La Table has not admitted to any wrongdoing, the brand agreed to settle the claims to the tune of an undisclosed sum, making reimbursement of up to $4,000 possible for those impacted. In this article, we’ll guide you through the backstory, eligibility criteria, compensation breakdowns, critical deadlines, and how Sparrow can walk you step-by-step through the claim process. Don’t let your data breach go uncompensated—Sparrow makes it simple to take action.
From kitchenware to courtrooms: how Sur La Table ended up under fire
Sur La Table, a premium kitchenware and culinary retailer, became the subject of legal scrutiny after experiencing a data breach in March 2023. According to the lawsuit, hackers accessed the company’s network and stole files containing sensitive consumer data. This included:
- Names
- Social Security numbers
- Insurance data
- Contact information
The breach reportedly affected tens of thousands of customers, many of whom received data incident notifications on or around May 24, 2023. Sur La Table disclosed the incident publicly and sent letters and emails to impacted individuals.
Plaintiffs filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana, alleging that Sur La Table failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity practices—such as multi-factor authentication, encrypted storage, or adequate network monitoring. They claimed the breach could have been prevented and that consumers were placed at avoidable risk.
While Sur La Table denies wrongdoing, the company agreed to a class action settlement to resolve the case. Under the terms, the retailer will compensate victims for out-of-pocket expenses, time lost responding to the incident, and more. California residents may claim an additional $100 under state privacy laws.
This case adds to a growing list of high-profile data breaches in the retail industry, where customer trust—and their personal data—are increasingly at risk.
Who’s Eligible for the Settlement
You’re eligible to file a claim if:
- You received a data incident notice from Sur La Table on or around May 24, 2023.
- You were affected by the March 2023 data breach involving unauthorized access to Sur La Table’s systems.
Bonus: If you lived in California during the breach, you are also part of a subclass eligible for an additional $100 statutory payment.
How Much You Can Get from the Settlement
The Sur La Table data breach class action settlement offers multiple forms of compensation:
- Out-of-pocket expenses: Up to $4,000 for unreimbursed identity theft losses, fraud costs, professional service fees, credit monitoring, and related expenses.

- California subclass: An additional $100 payment for qualifying residents.
