This dismissal removes a significant class-action risk over the Honey extension. With a similar case already dismissed, the path to final resolution is clearer. Monitor for whether plaintiffs file an amended complaint within 35 days — if none is filed, the dismissal becomes final with prejudice, fully ending this claim.

Executive Summary
PayPal won dismissal of a putative class action alleging its Honey browser extension misled users about coupon availability. The court granted a Rule 12(b)(1) motion for lack of Article III standing, finding plaintiffs failed to allege personal injury. This removes a material litigation risk, consistent with a prior dismissal in a related case. The ruling is bullish for PayPal as it reduces legal overhang on a core consumer asset.
Court Ruling Details
Key Facts

- Plaintiffs failed to allege that they personally paid more due to Honey's coupon practices
