BROOMFIELD, Colo.—Noodles & Co. has urged a Colorado federal judge to dismiss a class action lawsuit filed against the restaurant chain by a group of credit unions over a 2016 data breach.
As CUToday.info reported, Oregon-based SELCO Community Credit Union filed the initial complaint against the Colorado-based restaurant in September, 2016. The CU was joined a few months later by three other credit unions from Iowa, Indiana and Ohio, respectively.
The class-action suit alleges that Noodles & Co. failed to “employ reasonable measures to secure its customers’ personal and financial information.” The result has been costs to financial institutions to replace cards, stop payments, block transactions, and refund fraudulent charges among other costs, according to the court filing.
In its request, Noodles & Company asserts that the laws of each credit union’s state bar the allegations, Law360 reported.
