Home Depot Class Action Lawsuit 2026 — Complete Guide

Home Depot has been the target of dozens of class action lawsuits since the 2014 data breach. Here's the 2026 status of active Home Depot class actions and how to sign up.

Active Home Depot class actions in 2026

The most-discussed newer cases in 2026 center on privacy and surveillance. Lawsuits allege Home Depot used facial-recognition technology at self-checkout to collect shoppers' facial-geometry data without consent (raising claims under the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, or BIPA), and that it used license-plate-reading cameras in California store parking lots to capture and share driver data with law enforcement. Both are in active litigation as of mid-2026, with no settlement reached and no claims process open yet.

Wage & hour / off-the-clock — allegations of unpaid work time (security screening, mandatory training). California and New York classes have paid multiple times.
Product mislabeling — specific product classes (paint, cleaner, insulation labeling accuracy).
ADA store accessibility — federal and state (California Unruh Act) actions targeting store layout and website accessibility.
Pro Xtra loyalty program — allegations related to rewards program changes without adequate notice.
Pricing/scanner errors — allegations that scanned prices differed from displayed shelf prices.
