What happened
Blueberry Medical, which provides pediatric care under the Blueberry Pediatrics name, has filed a sample consumer notice with the California Attorney General describing a data security incident involving Metabase, a third-party business intelligence tool the company used for internal reporting and data analysis. Metabase disclosed a previously unknown software vulnerability in August 2026. According to the notice, Blueberry discovered evidence on August 22, 2026 that an unauthorized party had exploited this vulnerability and stolen a copy of certain patient data. The company says it locked the unauthorized party out within hours, applied Metabase's patch, changed passwords and security protocols, contacted law enforcement, and retained a forensic and cybersecurity firm.
The notice also describes a separate incident at Photon, a prescription service provider to Blueberry, in which a different actor exploited the same Metabase vulnerability. Photon reported unauthorized access between August 9 and August 12, 2026, and Blueberry learned of the Photon incident on August 24, 2026. The sample notice does not state a separate access window for Blueberry's own Metabase environment. Notices were filed with the California Attorney General on October 10, 2026, roughly seven weeks after discovery, and a Texas breach report lists 60,581 affected Texans. The notice does not offer complimentary credit monitoring.
Because the affected individuals are pediatric patients, this incident involves the medical and insurance information of children. Health plan numbers and medical records can be misused for medical identity theft and fraudulent insurance claims, and a child's records may go unchecked for years. The incident may also raise questions under HIPAA and state health privacy laws about how patient data was secured in a third-party analytics tool.
What to do if you received a letter
Keep your notice letter
Do not discard it. Your letter is important evidence if you decide to participate in a lawsuit, and it identifies whether your child's information was involved in the Blueberry incident, the Photon incident, or both.
Review medical and insurance statements
Blueberry Pediatrics has not offered complimentary credit monitoring. Review explanation-of-benefits statements and medical bills for your child for services you do not recognize, and contact your health plan if anything looks wrong. Taking these protective steps does not waive your right to pursue legal action.
Place a fraud alert or credit freeze
Contact Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to place a fraud alert or freeze on your file. Request a free weekly credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com, and use the FTC's IdentityTheft.gov recovery guide.

Common questions
I received a data breach letter from Blueberry Pediatrics. What should I do? +
Keep your notice letter. Blueberry Pediatrics did not offer complimentary credit monitoring, so review your child's explanation-of-benefits statements and medical bills for unfamiliar services, request free credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com, and consider placing a free security freeze in your child's name with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Report suspected identity theft to local law enforcement and the FTC at ftc.gov/idtheft. Document any time spent or losses, because they can matter in a class action, and consider speaking with a data breach attorney.
Am I eligible to join a class action against Blueberry Pediatrics? +
If you received a notice letter from Blueberry Pediatrics about your child, your child's information was in the affected data and you may qualify. Eligibility generally depends on your state of residence, the categories of information listed in your letter, and whether you can document losses or time spent responding. A free evaluation is the fastest way to find out where you stand.
How much money could I receive from a class action lawsuit? +
Data breach class action recoveries vary significantly. Settlements typically range from a few hundred dollars for basic out-of-pocket losses to several thousand dollars for documented identity theft, with class size, damages, and negotiation all affecting the final amount. No payout is guaranteed, and this investigation has not yet resulted in a settlement.
What personal information was exposed in the breach? +
According to the notice, Blueberry's data may have included patient names, dates of birth, health plan names and policy numbers, and health care information such as medical records, dates of service, medical codes, and charges. The Photon incident involved a subset of this information, including names, street addresses, phone numbers, email addresses or member IDs, and medication information. The notice states Social Security numbers and payment information were not involved, and clinical photos and videos stored separately were not compromised. Check your individual letter for the details that apply to your child.
Did Blueberry Pediatrics offer free credit monitoring? +
No. The sample notice filed with the California Attorney General does not offer complimentary credit monitoring or identity protection. It recommends reviewing statements, requesting free credit reports, and considering fraud alerts or security freezes. Taking these steps does not waive your right to pursue a claim.
How many people were affected by the Blueberry Pediatrics breach? +
Blueberry Pediatrics has not stated a total in its California sample notice. A breach report filed with the Texas Attorney General lists 60,581 affected Texans. The nationwide total may be higher, and this page will be updated if more figures are released.
Is there a deadline to take legal action? +
Yes. Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state and legal theory, typically ranging from one to six years. Waiting can permanently bar your claim. Contact us as soon as possible for a free evaluation.
How do I get a copy of the official breach notice? +
The sample notice is posted on the California Attorney General's data breach notification site and is linked in the Sources section of this page. If you cannot locate your copy or need help reading it, Dapeer Law can help you obtain and review it during a free consultation.
