UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
Matus v. Sport Squad, Inc., Case No. 24-cv-60954-DSL
A federal court authorized this Class Website (“Website”). This is not an advertisement or a solicitation from a lawyer.
Please read this Website carefully.
If you own and have in your possession a JOOLA “Gen 3” Paddle and did not accept JOOLA’s prior offer to tender and return your Gen 3 Paddle, you could be affected by this class action settlement.
On August 19, 2025, the Honorable David S. Leibowitz of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida entered an order preliminarily approving a settlement agreement and conditionally certifying a class of all persons residing within the United States who own and have in their possession a Gen 3 Paddle. No determination of wrongdoing or liability on the part of JOOLA was made by the Court, and the settlement is not an admission of liability by JOOLA.
You are a settlement class member (“Settlement Class Member”) if you are a person residing within the United States who owns and has in their possession a Gen 3 Paddle. Persons who accepted JOOLA’s prior offer to tender and return their Gen 3 Paddle are not part of the Settlement Class. If a Gen 3 Paddle holder has more than one Gen 3 Paddle and did not already return all of their Gen 3 Paddles, such purchaser may still be part of the class as to the remainder of the paddles that were not previously returned. Excluded from the Settlement Class are JOOLA and its officers, directors, affiliates, legal representatives, employees, assigns and successors, and JOOLA’s authorized retailers.
Please read this Website carefully. Your legal rights will be affected whether you act or do not act.
You now have to make a choice to preserve your legal rights.
