SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The parent company of niche dating sites, including Christian Mingle, agreed to pay 0,000 in penalties and nearly million in refunds to customers whose subscriptions were automatically renewed to settle a consumer protection action, San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan announced Monday.The judgment filed in Santa Monica Superior Court will be shared equally among a task force of California prosecutors that also included district attorneys from Los Angeles, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, as well as the city attorney of Santa Monica.The dating sites for Spark Networks USA, LLC, were automatically renewing customer payments without their express prior consent as required by federal and state law, among other alleged violations of law, according to the task force."Consumers always have the right to know where their money is going and companies must comply with California's laws in order to ensure that consumers understand certain transactions will renew automatically," Stephan said. "This joint effort is a great example of how our Consumer Protection Unit works to protect people from unfair business practices in the marketplace and ensure that California's consumer protection laws are followed."The judgment requires Jdate, Christian Mingle, and all of Spark's other dating sites to have full transparency with consumers about automatically renewing memberships.The company now must:-- clearly and conspicuously disclose the renewal terms;-- get consumers' consent, through a separate check box (or similar mechanism) that does not include other terms and conditions;-- send a clear summary of the renewal terms after consumers pay; and-- allow consumers to cancel easily.Spark Networks cooperated with the task force to reach the resolution.According to prosecutors, online "subscriptions" and other automatically recurring charges have proliferated in the United States in recent years. Some renewals come after "free trials," where consumers need to cancel in time to avoid the charges.Federal and state law requires businesses to make auto-renewals clear to consumers, and to get their "express, affirmative consent" before collecting any money. However, many businesses still don't follow the law, prosecutors said. 2286

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County rose 4 cents today to .215, one day after rising 3.4 cents.The average price is 16.3 cents more than one week ago, 14.3 cents higher than one month ago and 34.4 cents greater than one year ago, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.A 12-cent a gallon gasoline tax increase went into effect Wednesday in California.RELATED: Gas tax rises to pay for road repairs"The tax hike's effect at many, but not all, gas pumps was immediate on Wednesday," said Jeffrey Spring, the Automobile Club of Southern California's corporate communications manager."While we believed the switch to the cheaper winter blend of gasoline could have cancelled out some of the tax increase, higher oil prices and lower inventory have instead pushed underlying fuel costs higher. The tax increase plus these additional issues make the usual fall price decline less 975

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego's Bumble Bee Foods filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Thursday, facing criminal fines and civil litigation after the company pleaded guilty to a price-fixing scheme with rival seafood companies Starkist Co. and Chicken of the Sea Inc.Bumble Bee filed for bankruptcy protection in Wilmington, Delaware, listing up to billion in both assets and liabilities, according to a Los Angeles Times report. FCF Fishery Co. is expected to acquire the company's assets for more than 0 million through a competitive bidding process. Bumble Bee is currently owned by Lion Capital, an English private equity firm.The company pleaded guilty to the price-fixing scheme in 2017, admitting that the three companies conspired to raise the price of canned and packaged tuna in the U.S. from 2011 to 2013. The U.S. Department of Justice levied an .5-million fine against Bumble Bee and later slashed it to million due to Bumble Bee's outstanding debts.RELATED: StarKist admits fixing tuna prices, faces 0-million fine"The division, along with our law enforcement colleagues, will continue to hold these companies and their executives accountable for conduct that targeted a staple in American households," Andrew Finch, then the Justice Department Antitrust Division's acting assistant attorney general, said when Bumble Bee pleaded guilty in May 2017.At that time, Bumble Bee argued the original fine could drive it to bankruptcy. The company's court documents show that it still owes some million of the fine and faces multiple class-action lawsuits and litigation from companies that distribute and sell its products.Bumble Bee was founded in 1899 by the Columbia River Packers Association, which officially introduced the Bumble Bee brand of canned seafood in 1910. The company expanded to San Diego in 1977 when it purchased the Harbor Industry cannery.After 12 years in Kearny Mesa, the company moved its headquarters back to downtown San Diego in 2014, where it currently resides adjacent to Petco Park. 2052

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - San Diego State University announced Thursday its selection of Clark Construction Group to design and build a 35,000-seat stadium in Mission Valley.The stadium is part of the SDSU West measure that voters passed in the November mid-term election. The plan also includes a river park, a campus extension and commercial and residential space. The value of the contract is roughly 0 million, according to SDSU.``Clark Construction has significant expertise building large, multi-use stadiums and is a great fit to build San Diego State University's new multi-use stadium and the future home of Aztec Football,'' said SDSU Athletic Director JD Wicker. ``I am confident in their ability to deliver a stadium that meet the needs of the university and the San Diego region.''The Maryland-based company has completed projects in Southern California, most notably Petco Park and the Rose Bowl press box in Pasadena.Clark Construction also designed and built local non-athletic buildings like the Naval hospital at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and SDSU's Engineering and Interdisciplinary Sciences building.``The full resources of our national organization, combined with our local expertise and relationships will be at the service of the university toachieve the project's vision,'' said Carlos Gonzalez, the company's senior vice president and regional executive officer. ``We recognize the opportunity this project creates for SDSU's Mission Valley campus and for the greater San Diego community.''The SDSU stadium will sit in the footprint of the site's current occupant, SDCCU Stadium. The stadium will serve primarily as the home stadium for the university's football team, but will also accommodate professional and collegiate soccer games, concerts and other events.Clark Construction currently aims to break ground on the project early next year, with the stadium ready for use at the beginning of the 2022 college football season. 1964

SAN DIEGO (CNS) -- San Diego County health officials this weekend reported 310 new COVID-19 cases and no additional deaths, raising the region's totals to 10,794 cases while the death toll remained at 338.The number of COVID-19 tests reported to the county Saturday was 4,413, with 7% positive new cases. The 14-day rolling average percentage of positive tests is 2.8%.As of Sunday, the number of cases requiring hospitalization was 1,619 and the number admitted to an intensive care unit was 449.The largest portion of cases, 2,152, have been found in residents age 20 to 29 years old. The second largest portion of cases, 2000, is among residents 30 to 39.Personal care businesses such as skin care and waxing salons, tattoo parlors, massage therapists and nail salons were allowed by the county to reopen Friday.Community-transmitted COVID-19 outbreaks have activated one of the county's public health triggers, placing a pause on any additional openings allowed by the state."We continue to implore the public to wear facial coverings and avoid having gatherings at your home," San Diego County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher said.After public health officials Thursday reported eight community- transmitted outbreaks in San Diego County in the past week, Fletcher said any further openings allowed by Gov. Gavin Newsom wouldn't be implemented until numbers go down.As part of the 13 public health triggers announced earlier this month, the county could take industry-specific actions, pause all reopening efforts or even dial back reopenings if enough of the metrics rise above a certain threshold. The threshold for community outbreaks -- defined as three or more lab-confirmed cases from different households -- was fewer than seven in a week's span.Two new community outbreaks were reported Friday, offsetting three outbreaks which "fell off" the county's one-week rolling monitoring period. The total number of outbreaks in a community setting is now at seven, which keeps the metric at a caution level.Fletcher did not report where exactly the new outbreaks occurred, and he said doing so would "undermine" cooperation the county was receiving from businesses and other locations to report COVID-19 outbreaks.Wooten, suggesting how long the COVID-19 pandemic could impact the region, said it may not be safe for people to have gatherings at their homes "until sometime next year," a far cry from the mid-March hopes of flattening the curve and ending the pandemic."With the reopenings, people think we can go back to the pre-COVID existence, and we cannot," she said.The county launched an interactive website early last week that allows residents to find COVID-19 testing locations near them.
