NOTICE OF PROPOSED SETTLEMENT OF CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT
ATTENTION: ALL LEGALLY BLIND INDIVIDUALS WHO ATTEMPTED
BUT WERE UNABLE TO ACCESS OR WHO WERE DETERRED FROM ACCESSING
PRODUCTS OR SERVICES AVAILABLE AT COINSTAR KIOSKS IN ALL 50 STATES
AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA STARTING ON FEBRUARY 8, 2014, THROUGH
JULY 14, 2017, EXCEPT IN CALIFORNIA WHERE THE STARTING DATE IS
FEBRUARY 8, 2013.
This notice is to inform you about the proposed
settlement that would resolve two class action lawsuits: Nguyen v.
Outerwall Inc., No. 5:16-cv-00611-LS (E.D. Pa.) and Boyer v.
Outerwall Inc., No. 2:17-cv-00853 (E.D. Pa.). The lawsuit alleges
that Coinstar, LLC (fka Outerwall Inc.) violated federal law and
California state law by offering services at self-service,
touchscreen Coinstar kiosks that the lawsuit alleges were not
independently useable by persons who are Legally Blind. Coinstar
denies all liability in the case. In the proposed settlement,
Coinstar will complete modification of one Coinstar Kiosk at each of
its retail locations nationwide. The modifications will include
ensuring a functional and tactile keypad exists on each modified
Kiosk, the addition of a 3.5mm headphone jack, and the addition of
text-to-speech output via audio through the headphone jack. Further
information regarding the modifications is available at
www.coinstarkiosksettlement.com.
If you used or attempted to use a Coinstar Kiosk in
California at any point between February 8, 2013, and July 14, 2017,
you may be entitled to payment of money as part of this settlement.
This is because the California law allegedly violated allows for
monetary payments. Depending on the number of individuals who submit
a valid Claim Form, California Sub-Class Members may be eligible for
up to $4,000.00 in monetary relief under the settlement. You may
complete and submit a claim form on the settlement website at
www.coinstarkiosksettlement.com or by requesting a Claim Form from
Settlement Services Inc., the Claims Administrator, by phone, letter,
fax, or email at: Nguyen v. Outerwall Inc., Claims Administrator,

damages portion of the settlement only. If you do either, your
