Frequently Asked Questions

A federal Court authorized this notice to inform you that this class action may affect your rights. Receiving notice of this class action does not necessarily mean that you are a class member or that you are entitled to compensation.

David Oh filed this class action against Sunvalleytek, alleging that Sunvalleytek violated California’s Unfair Competition Law (UCL), by engaging in unlawful, fraudulent, and unfair conduct, and California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA), which prohibits companies from unfair and deceptive acts and practices. The lawsuit alleges that Sunvalleytek paid customers to post positive reviews and to remove negative reviews from its Amazon stores, thus artificially inflating the rating of Sunvalleytek's products.

You can find additional information about Mr. Oh's claims in his class action complain, and in the Court's memorandum decision and order, both which are available at the Documents page on this website. The Court has not yet ruled on whether Sunvalleytek violated the UCL and CLRA.

The case is pending in the following federal Court: 

United States District Court for the Northern District of California

450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102
