What happened
Plaintiff Angela Keith filed this proposed class action against Hy Cite Enterprises, LLC, the Wisconsin-based parent of the Royal Prestige direct-sales cookware brand, alleging that Hy Cite violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by using an artificial or prerecorded voice in calls placed to cellular telephone numbers of people who were not its customers or account holders. The TCPA provides for statutory damages of $500, and up to $1,500 for willful violations, per offending call. According to the complaint and the Court-approved notice, Hy Cite identified more than 22,000 unique cell phone numbers flagged as wrong-number in its own records to which it may have placed an artificial or prerecorded voice message during the class period.
Hy Cite denies the allegations and denies that it violated the TCPA, and notes that prior express consent is a complete defense to a TCPA claim. The Court has not decided who is right or wrong. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the cost, risk, and time of continued litigation. The Settlement applies to all U.S. residents who received an artificial or prerecorded voice call from Hy Cite on a cellular telephone, but who were not Hy Cite customers at the time, between October 22, 2020 and September 10, 2025.

Where the money is going
This is a non-reversionary common fund. Administration costs, attorneys' fees, litigation costs, and the service award to the Class Representative all come out of the $4.75 million Settlement Fund before per-claimant shares are calculated. Each valid claimant receives an equal pro rata share of what remains.
All amounts listed above are pending and subject to final court approval at the October 6, 2026 Final Fairness Hearing. The Court may award less than the amounts requested. Each valid claimant receives an equal pro rata share of the net fund, so the actual per-claimant amount depends on how many Settlement Class Members participate.
Common questions
How much money will I receive?
The Notice estimates each valid claimant will receive between $600 and $1,000. The actual amount is an equal pro rata share of the $4.75 million Settlement Fund after deducting administration costs (estimated $116,000), attorneys' fees (up to 36% of the net fund), litigation costs (up to $15,000), and a service award (up to $15,000). The more class members who file, the smaller each individual share. If significantly fewer of the 22,000-plus identified wrong-number cell numbers result in valid claims, the per-claimant amount could rise above the $1,000 estimate.
Do I need to submit proof of purchase?
You do not need to produce phone records or call logs to file. The Administrator is sending Claim Forms directly to people whose cell numbers Hy Cite identified as wrong-number in its own records. If you did not receive a Claim Form but believe you qualify, you can provide the Administrator with evidence that you received an artificial or prerecorded voice call from Hy Cite during the class period, along with an attestation that you were not a Hy Cite customer at the time, and the Administrator can then send you a Claim Form.
What if I didn’t receive a notice?
Yes. You can still file a claim even if you did not receive a direct notice. If you received an artificial or prerecorded voice call on your cell phone from Hy Cite between October 22, 2020 and September 10, 2025 and you were not a Hy Cite customer at the time, you are likely a Settlement Class Member. Contact Kroll Settlement Administration LLC at 1-833-621-5434 or through the Contact Form at HyCiteTCPASettlement.com to request a Claim Form.
Does staying in the class affect my right to sue later?
Yes. Unless you mail a written request for exclusion postmarked by July 8, 2026, you will be bound by the Settlement and will release your claims against Hy Cite related to the artificial or prerecorded voice calls at issue in this lawsuit. That means you cannot separately sue Hy Cite for the same alleged TCPA violations. The full release language is in the Class Action Settlement Agreement, available on the Important Documents page of HyCiteTCPASettlement.com.
When will payments be sent out?
If the Court grants final approval at the October 6, 2026 Final Fairness Hearing, payments will be sent to valid claimants no later than 30 days after the judgment becomes final, unless additional time is needed to comply with IRS regulations. If anyone appeals the settlement, payment may be delayed by the appeal, which can take a year or more. No action is required after a valid Claim Form is submitted, just monitor HyCiteTCPASettlement.com for updates.
