AG Sunday: Deadline to file claims in 23andMe bankruptcy
HARRISBURG — Attorney General Dave Sunday is advising Pennsylvania consumers that the deadline to file proof of claims in the 23andMe bankruptcy case is July 14, 2025.
Consumers may be eligible to file a proof of claim if their personal and/or genetic information was exposed in a 2023 data breach.
Additionally, consumers may wish to delete their profiles and accounts with 23andMe to ensure their personal data is erased from the 23andMe system and not sold as part of the bankruptcy process.
Impacted consumers may file a claim electronically and obtain more information about the bankruptcy online here: https://restructuring. ra.kroll.com/23andMe/ Home-Index “My office is not directing all 23andMe consumers to delete their accounts, but we encourage those consumers to consider such action as there are some uncertainties as to what will happen to the very sensitive data and information obtained by the company,” Sunday said. “Pennsylvanians should be aware of a potential sale of their information as part of the bankruptcy process.”
The Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General took action to have a consumer protection ombudsman in place during the process to review security policies. The court-appointed overseer will also monitor how a sale would impact customer data on file.
On March 23, the genetic testing and information company filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. Under a Chapter 11 bankruptcy, consumers’ genetic data may be considered an asset that could be sold to a potential buyer in the bankruptcy process.
