| Abbott Laboratoriessource ↗ filed by Wisner Baum LLP · No. 2:26-cv-12159 · 28:1332 Diversity-Product Liability · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $59.50M–$725M ▾Health-data tracking-technology claims are split: Tower Health and Santoro were dismissed, but Bayhealth and Integris show confidentiality/state-law claims can survive. Abbott faces multiple parallel filings (Luzingu, Nix, Parisi, Medina), suggesting plaintiffs see a viable theory despite defense wins elsewhere. Comparable settlements $59.50M–$725M median $81.50M · n=10 Meta $725M · Google $425M · Google $135M Per member (realized): ~$29 median · $29–$29 (n=2) Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425.65M Key precedent: Doe v. Bayhealth Medical Ctr. — confidentiality claim survived MTD for healthcare-provider tracking tech, directly analogous to Abbott's consumer health data. Main risk: Dismissal on consent/HIPAA-exclusion grounds as in Tower Health and Santoro, where Pixel-based health-data sharing claims failed. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $5M–$90M Small comparable sample, no confirmed class size or settlement data specific to Abbott; estimates are directional only. · grounded in 9 rulings, 10 settlements, 4 verdicts | Filing | Privacy & Wiretap | C.D.
