$1.1M Team Group DRAM Memory Speed False Advertising Settlement, Do You Qualify for a Cash Payment? July 7 is Deadline to Claim 

Team Group DRAM Settlement is a false advertising class action where U.S. consumers who purchased Team Group DDR-3, DDR-4, or DDR-5 memory products between May 3, 2020 and April 8, 2026 can receive a pro-rata cash payment by filing a claim before July 7, 2026. Plaintiffs Malcolm Griffin and Kariem Ibrahim sued Team Group, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleging the company misled buyers into thinking its advertised memory speeds worked straight out of the box. Team Group denies all wrongdoing. The case — Griffin et al. v. Team Group, Inc., Case No. 2:24-cv-03681 — has reached a proposed $1,100,000 settlement, currently awaiting final court approval.

What Is the Team Group Lawsuit About? Griffin et al. v. Team Group, Inc., No. 2:24-cv-03681

Team Group, Inc. manufactures and sells computer memory products — specifically DDR-3, DDR-4, and DDR-5 DRAM modules — marketed with advertised speed ratings prominently displayed on their packaging and product listings. The plaintiffs allege Team Group violated consumer protection statutes and breached its express warranty by leading buyers to believe those speeds were plug-and-play — meaning the RAM would run at the advertised speed immediately after installation, with no adjustments required.

The reality, according to the lawsuit, was different. Achieving the advertised speeds typically required enabling XMP or EXPO profiles in the system BIOS — a step most everyday consumers would not know to take and one that Team Group allegedly never clearly disclosed. This type of claim falls under false advertising class action and consumer fraud lawsuit territory, where the central question is whether a reasonable buyer would have understood the advertised speed to be a default speed. If you purchased Team Group DRAM during the class period relying on those speed numbers, this settlement was built for you.

Do You Qualify for the Team Group DRAM Settlement?

If you are wondering whether this settlement includes you, here is how to check. Class action settlement eligibility for this case comes down to three things.

You may qualify if:

• You purchased one or more Team Group DDR-3, DDR-4, or DDR-5 DRAM products
• You lived in the United States at the time of purchase
• Your purchase happened between May 3, 2020 and April 8, 2026

You do NOT qualify if:

• You purchased Team Group products outside the United States
• Your purchase occurred before May 3, 2020 or after April 8, 2026
• You are a Team Group employee, officer, director, or related party
• You are a judge or magistrate presiding over this action

This settlement is separate from any other memory manufacturer cases — if you also purchased Corsair DDR memory during a similar period, see our coverage of the Corsair DRAM false advertising settlement on AllAboutLawyer.com.

How Much Can You Get from the Team Group Settlement?

Your legal settlement payout from this case is not a fixed number. The $1,100,000 fund must cover administrator costs, court-approved attorneys’ fees (up to one-third of the fund), and up to $5,000 each for the two class representatives — before a single payment reaches class members.

What remains gets divided among everyone who files a valid claim, on a per-product basis:

• Up to 5 products per household — no proof of purchase required
• More than 5 products — proof of purchase required for every unit above five
• Final payment amount — determined after the claim deadline closes and the total number of valid claims is counted

The more people who file, the smaller each individual payment. Filing early does not give you a higher payment — but filing before July 7, 2026 is the only way to receive anything at all.

How much will I get from the Team Group DRAM settlement?

 The exact payout depends on how many valid claims are filed. Your payment comes from whatever remains in the $1,100,000 fund after fees and administrative costs, divided among all claimants on a per-product basis. No minimum or maximum per-person amount has been set by the court.

When will I receive my Team Group settlement check?

What if I missed the claim deadline?

 If you miss the July 7, 2026 deadline, you will not receive any payment from this settlement. Courts rarely reopen claim periods.

Will my settlement payment affect my taxes?

 Settlement payments for consumer protection and false advertising claims may be considered taxable income. The amount you receive will depend on how many claims are filed. Consult a tax professional if you have questions about how to report your payment.

Can I opt out of the Team Group settlement?

 Yes. You must mail a written exclusion request postmarked by June 22, 2026, to the settlement administrator in Philadelphia. If you opt out, you give up your right to a settlement payment but preserve your right to file an individual lawsuit against Team Group.
