What happened
Florida Tile, Inc. dba Panariagroup USA, Inc. ("Florida Tile"), a Kentucky-based ceramic and porcelain tile manufacturer, discovered unauthorized activity within its computer environment. According to the notice filed with the Massachusetts Attorney General, the company took immediate steps to secure its computer environment and opened an investigation to determine the nature and scope of the activity. Neither the dates of the unauthorized access nor the date the activity was discovered have been publicly disclosed.
Florida Tile began mailing notification letters on or around August 7, 2026. The letter states that, due to requirements imposed by Massachusetts law, the company is unable to provide further details about the nature of the event. The accompanying regulator filing reports that the information involved may include driver's license numbers, financial account information, medical information, and Social Security numbers. The filing identifies one affected Massachusetts resident, and the total number of individuals notified across all states has not been publicly disclosed.
Florida Tile is offering 24 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity restoration services through Experian, and says it has begun reviewing the policies, procedures, and processes that govern sensitive information in its environment. Whether the company's pre-breach security practices met legal standards, how long the unauthorized access went undetected, and whether more information was involved than the filing reports are among the issues being evaluated.
What to do if you received a letter
Keep your notice letter
Do not discard it. Your letter contains the enrollment code for credit monitoring and is important evidence if you decide to participate in a lawsuit.
Enroll in the free 24-month credit monitoring
Enroll in the Experian credit monitoring and identity restoration services offered in your letter before the stated deadline. Accepting this benefit 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. Because the regulator filing reports that Social Security numbers and financial account information may be involved, also watch for accounts, loans, or tax filings opened in your name.

Common questions
I received a data breach letter from Florida Tile. What should I do? +
Keep the letter, enroll in the free 24-month Experian credit monitoring and identity restoration service before the deadline printed in your notice, place a fraud alert or freeze on your credit file, and contact a data breach attorney for a free consultation. Because the regulator filing reports that Social Security numbers, financial account information, and medical information may be involved, also review your bank statements and any Explanation of Benefits notices for charges or claims you do not recognize.
Am I eligible to join a class action against Florida Tile? +
If you received an August 2026 breach notice from Florida Tile, you are likely eligible for a free case evaluation. Eligibility depends on your state of residence, the categories of your data that were involved, and any losses you have suffered. Dapeer Law will review your notice at no cost.
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? +
The notice letter states that Massachusetts law prevents the company from describing the nature of the event in further detail. The filing Florida Tile submitted to the Massachusetts Attorney General reports that the information involved may include driver's license numbers, financial account information, medical information, and Social Security numbers. Your individual letter should specify the categories of your data that were involved, so check it carefully and keep it.
Did Florida Tile offer free credit monitoring? +

Enroll before the deadline printed in your letter. Enrollment is separate from, and does not waive, your right to pursue a claim.
