Summary
23andMe, once a billion-dollar genetics testing giant, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after facing a data breach that exposed sensitive user information earlier this year. Millions of customers are now eligible to file claims as part of the restructuring process, with until July 14 to do so. The company and its subsidiaries notified affected users, while those with other grievances may submit separate claims under a General Bar Date Package. A proposed settlement in a related class action is still pending due to bankruptcy proceedings, with customers advised to formally prove their claims if they wish to preserve compensation rights.
