Paul Riehle Comments on Lawsuit Using CCPA as Class Action Vehicle

San Francisco partner Paul Riehle was quoted by Law360, discussing a proposed class action that accuses children’s clothing company Hanna Andersson and its online payment services provider Salesforce of failing to properly safeguard customers’ sensitive data.

Riehle told the publication that the case may be the first to cite the California Consumer Privacy Act as the predicate for a class action under the state’s unfair competition statute.

“However, it may be that plaintiff cites the CCPA in order to bolster plaintiff’s claim for standing under Article III” Paul Riehle, Law360
