The Hy Cite Enterprises TCPA Settlement is a $4,750,000 class action settlement where eligible people who received an artificial or prerecorded voice call on their cell phone from Hy Cite Enterprises, LLC — doing business as Royal Prestige — between October 22, 2020 and September 10, 2025, without being a Hy Cite customer, can receive an estimated $600 to $1,000 by filing a claim before July 8, 2026. Plaintiff Angela Keith alleged that Hy Cite violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), 47 U.S.C. § 227, by using automated prerecorded voice messages to call more than 22,000 cell phone numbers belonging to people who had no account with the company. The case, Angela Keith v. Hy Cite Enterprises, LLC, Case No. 3:24-cv-729-jdp, is pending before the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin.

What Is the Hy Cite Enterprises Lawsuit About? Angela Keith v. Hy Cite Enterprises, LLC, Case No. 3:24-cv-729-jdp (W.D. Wis.)

Hy Cite Enterprises, LLC sells cookware and home products under the Royal Prestige brand, primarily through direct sales and telemarketing. The company used artificial or prerecorded voice messages to call cell phone numbers as part of its outreach — but according to the lawsuit, tens of thousands of those calls went to people who were never Hy Cite customers and never gave the company permission to contact them. That is a direct violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, the federal law enacted in 1991 and codified at 47 U.S.C. § 227, which prohibits companies from placing prerecorded or artificial voice calls to cell phones without the recipient’s prior express consent. The TCPA entitles consumers to statutory damages of $500 per violation — and up to $1,500 per call when the violation was willful or knowing.

Hy Cite identified more than 22,000 unique telephone numbers in its own records flagged with a “wrong number” designation — meaning the company’s own data showed these were people without accounts who nonetheless received prerecorded calls. Angela Keith filed this lawsuit in 2024 on behalf of everyone who received those calls without consent. Hy Cite denies all allegations and denies it violated the TCPA. The court has not ruled on who is right or wrong — both sides agreed to settle to avoid the cost and risk of trial. This case follows a pattern of major TCPA enforcement actions against companies using automated calling systems to reach non-customers. For a directly comparable case involving the same violation type and a very similar payout range, see our coverage of the Gen Digital TCPA settlement — $9.95M for LifeLock and Norton prerecorded calls to non-customers, which also used Kroll Settlement Administration and involved virtually identical legal claims.

Are You Part of the Hy Cite Class Action Lawsuit?

The class action settlement eligibility rules here are narrow and specific — this is not a broad consumer settlement. Before you file, make sure you actually fit.

You may be part of this class if:

• You are a person anywhere in the United States who received a call from Hy Cite Enterprises, LLC (dba Royal Prestige) on your cell phone
• The call was placed between October 22, 2020 and September 10, 2025
• The call used an artificial or prerecorded voice — meaning it was an automated message, not a live person speaking to you in real time
• You were not a Hy Cite customer or account holder when you received the call — the call was a “wrong number” in Hy Cite’s own records
• You received a notice with a claim form mailed to you, OR you have evidence of the call and can attest you were not a customer

You are likely NOT included if:

• You were an active Hy Cite customer or account holder at the time you received the call — prior express consent is a complete defense under the TCPA, and existing customers are typically deemed to have consented
• You received a call from a live sales representative rather than a prerecorded or artificial voice message
• You cannot provide any evidence of having received a call from Hy Cite during the class period — the company uses a “wrong number” designation in its records, and the administrator can verify your inclusion against those records

If you did not receive a claim form by mail but believe you got a prerecorded Royal Prestige call during the class period, contact Kroll at (833) 621-5434 and provide evidence of the call. The administrator will review it and send you a claim form if you qualify. You do not need a consumer rights lawyer to check your eligibility or file.

How Much Can You Get from the Hy Cite Settlement?

The $4,750,000 fund pays all settlement costs first, then distributes what remains equally among all valid claimants. Here is how the math works:

From the $4,750,000 total, the court will deduct:

• Administration costs, estimated at $116,000
• Attorneys’ fees, not to exceed 36% of the net fund after administration costs
• Litigation expenses, not to exceed $15,000
• Service award for Angela Keith (the Class Representative), not to exceed $15,000

Every Settlement Class Member who submits a timely, valid claim gets an equal share of whatever remains. The settlement estimates that each claimant will receive between $600 and $1,000 — a meaningful legal settlement payout by class action standards, especially compared to settlements where pro rata shares can drop to $20 or $30 when hundreds of thousands of people file. The relatively small class size here — just over 22,000 identified cell numbers — is what drives the high per-person estimate. If fewer people file, your share goes up. The settlement agreement does not specify a minimum claim amount.

One important note: if you do nothing, you receive no payment — but you also release your TCPA claims against Hy Cite automatically just by being a class member and not opting out. Doing nothing costs you both the money and your right to sue separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a class action lawsuit against Hy Cite Enterprises?

Yes. The case is Angela Keith v. Hy Cite Enterprises, LLC, Case No. 3:24-cv-729-jdp, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin. The lawsuit alleges Hy Cite violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act by placing prerecorded voice calls to the cell phones of more than 22,000 people who were not its customers. Hy Cite denies the allegations.

Do I need to do anything right now to be part of the Hy Cite settlement?

Yes — you must actively file a claim by July 8, 2026 to receive any money. If you do nothing, you receive no payment but still release your TCPA claims against Hy Cite. The only way to both skip the settlement and keep your right to sue is to formally opt out by the same July 8 deadline.

How do I know if I qualify for the Hy Cite TCPA settlement?

You qualify if you received a prerecorded or artificial voice call from Hy Cite on your cell phone between October 22, 2020 and September 10, 2025, and you were not a Hy Cite customer at the time. If Hy Cite mailed you a notice with a claim form, you are almost certainly included. If you did not receive a notice but believe you got one of these calls, contact Kroll at (833) 621-5434 to verify your eligibility.

How much will I get from the Hy Cite settlement?

The settlement estimates each valid claimant will receive between $600 and $1,000 — an unusually high per-person payout for a TCPA class action. This is because Hy Cite identified a relatively small class of just over 22,000 affected numbers, so the $4.75 million fund stretches further per person than in cases involving hundreds of thousands of claimants.

Do I need a lawyer to file a claim?

No. Michael L. Greenwald of Greenwald Davidson Radbil PLLC serves as Class Counsel and represents all class members at no charge to you. You can file your claim entirely on your own at hycitetcpasettlement.com in about 10 minutes. You only need your own attorney if you want to opt out and pursue an individual consumer fraud lawsuit against Hy Cite for TCPA violations.

When will I receive my Hy Cite settlement payment?

The court will hold the Final Fairness Hearing on October 6, 2026. If it grants final approval and no appeal is filed, payments will go out within 30 days of the judgment becoming final. If someone appeals, payment could be delayed by months. Check hycitetcpasettlement.com for updates after the hearing.

What if I opt out of the Hy Cite settlement?

Opting out by July 8, 2026, means you give up the estimated $600–$1,000 settlement payment entirely but keep your right to sue Hy Cite independently for TCPA violations. The TCPA allows individuals to sue for $500 per unlawful call — or up to $1,500 per call if the violation was willful. If you received multiple prerecorded calls, individual litigation could theoretically yield more — but it comes with legal costs and uncertainty. A free legal consultation with a TCPA attorney can help you weigh the options before the deadline.

Will the Hy Cite settlement payment be taxed?

Possibly. The IRS treatment of TCPA statutory damages settlements is not straightforward — some payments may be treated as ordinary income. Consult a tax professional about how to report any payment you receive for the year it arrives. This article does not constitute tax advice.
