Pirozzi v. Massage Envy

A Settlement has been approved in this class action lawsuit that claimed that Massage Envy’s advertising was deceptive because it promised 10 more minutes of hands-on massage than were actually provided during a massage session and that Missouri consumers were harmed by not receiving those additional 10 minutes of hands-on massage. Defendant Massage Envy Franchising, LLC (“MEF”) denied the allegations and denied that any Massage Envy^® advertising was deceptive. The Court did not decide who was right in the lawsuit but approved the Settlement.

If you purchased a massage session at a Massage Envy^® franchised location in Missouri at any time between January 31, 2012, and April 13, 2020, and were not a member of a Massage Envy^® franchised location, pursuant to a membership agreement, at the time of your purchase, you are a Class Member and were eligible to submit a request for a cash payment. To receive a cash payment pursuant to the approved Settlement, you must have submitted a valid, timely Claim. Even if you did not submit a timely, valid Claim, you are bound by the Settlement unless you submitted a timely request to opt-out of the Settlement.

Your legal rights are affected whether you acted or did not act prior to the approval of the Settlement. Read the information on this website carefully.
