Notes: The settlement agreement specified $250,00 in attorneys' fees and a $5,000 enhancement fee to the lead plaintiff but not the value of the overall compensation to plaintiffs, which came in the form of store credits and cash. Mealey's Litigation Report was told that the latter amount was $139,628 thus bringing the value of the total settlement to $394,628.
