Buyers of Levoit Core and EverestAir air purifiers and replacement filters have until Nov. 3 to file for a $10 digital payment from a settlement over “True HEPA” labels, the settlement website says. Vesync (US) Corp., the maker of Levoit, agreed to a payout capped at $15 million to resolve claims that the “True HEPA,” “HEPA” and “H13” wording on the products was false or misleading. The company denies the allegations and any wrongdoing. Money goes out only after a New York judge gives final approval, and a hearing on that question is set for Feb. 17, 2027.

The case is Sen et al. v. Vesync (US) Corp., No. 510627/2026, in the Kings County Supreme Court in Brooklyn, before Judge Katherine Levine. The named plaintiffs are Devika Sen, Daniel Tepper, Rick Chen and Jordan Menter. The class covers people in the U.S. who bought a Levoit-branded Core or EverestAir purifier or replacement filter carrying “True HEPA,” “HEPA” or “H13” language between Aug. 29, 2019 and Aug. 4, 2023. As ClassAction.org summarized the complaint, testing by the plaintiffs’ lawyers allegedly found the filters did not capture 99.97% of 0.3-micron particles, the standard behind a true HEPA label.
Anyone who bought a covered product in that window can file, and the claim page says proof of purchase is required. A valid claim needs evidence showing the original purchase date, along with the person’s name, address, email and signature and a choice of payment method. People who received the emailed notice have a Claim ID and PIN to enter. Anyone without one is directed to a separate public page to request them, and the payment is sent to the email address or mobile number given on the form.
The Levoit notice sets Nov. 3 for claims, exclusions and objections and Feb. 17 for the approval hearing, and a claim filed after the first date does not count. The Settlement & Refund Recovery System explains the four-date rule for reading a settlement notice and walks through the filing step by step.
How the $15 million cap works
The court-approved notice caps total awards at $15,000,000 and says that if valid claims exceed that amount, awards will be reduced proportionally. At $10 each, the cap covers 1.5 million valid claims before any reduction, which makes $10 the most a claimant can receive rather than a promise. The notice does not say how many people bought the products in the class period, so it is not clear whether the cap will bind.
Lawyers’ pay does not come out of that pool. Class counsel, a group of five firms that includes Bursor & Fisher, P.A., Sinderbrand Law Group, Migliaccio & Rathod, Hecht Partners and Taus, Cebulash & Landau, will ask for up to $5,244,500 in fees and costs, and Vesync has agreed not to oppose that amount. The four class representatives can receive service awards totaling up to $11,500. The notice says Vesync pays both separately and that they will not reduce settlement awards, though the court may award less than requested.
Payment timing and the hearing
Nothing is paid on Nov. 3. Awards go out only after the court approves the settlement and any appeals are resolved, a process the settlement website says could take more than a year. The fairness hearing is Feb. 17, 2027, at 11 a.m. Eastern, by video conference through Courtroom 541 at 360 Adams Street in Brooklyn, and the notice says the date is subject to change.
The order granting preliminary approval, from Judge Levine, found that the notice and claim form satisfy due process and New York’s class action rules. It also stays class members from pursuing the released claims against Vesync while final approval is pending. The notice does not list any labeling or business changes Vesync will make as part of the deal, so the only relief the notice describes is the cash payment.
Filing, opting out or doing nothing
The notice gives class members four choices, and the Nov. 3 date applies to most of them. Filing a claim is the only way to receive an award, and a claimant gives up the right to sue Vesync separately over the released claims. Excluding oneself requires a signed written request postmarked by Nov. 3 with name, address, email, phone number and the required statement, mailed to Vesync Air Purifier Settlement, c/o Apex Class Action LLC, P.O. Box 54668, Irvine, CA 92619. The notice says exclusion cannot be done by phone or email.
An objection is also due by Nov. 3, mailed to the administrator and filed with the court clerk, and an objector can still be bound by the deal and can still file a claim. Doing nothing brings no award and gives up the right to sue Vesync over the resolved claims. The notice warns class members not to contact the court with questions and directs them to the administrator at 1-800-837-2979.
Filing at LAPsettlement.com before Nov. 3
The free route is the settlement’s own site, LAPsettlement.com, which lists the Nov. 3 deadline, takes claims online and posts the complaint, settlement agreement and court orders under its case documents page. The administrator, Apex Class Action, answers questions at 1-800-837-2979 and LAPSettlement@apexclassaction.com.
The purchase date decides eligibility, so an order confirmation, receipt or retailer account history that shows a date between Aug. 29, 2019 and Aug. 4, 2023 is the document the claim page asks for. The notice does not say which kinds of proof the administrator accepts, so the administrator is the source for a purchase with no receipt. The $10 amount is small, but the Nov. 3 date is firm: it governs claims, exclusions and objections alike.
Nov. 3 claim deadline, Feb. 17 hearing
A Levoit claim filed after Nov. 3 earns nothing from the $15 million fund, and the payment itself could be more than a year away.
