Law Firm Files Wage Violation Lawsuit Against Collectors Universe

Blumenthal Nordrehaug Bhowmik De Blouw LLP, employment lawyers, has initiated legal action against Collectors Universe, Inc. The lawsuit, filed on July 3, 2026, in Orange, California, accuses the company of failing to provide employees with adequate meal periods and rest breaks.

According to the complaint, the alleged failure to provide these breaks resulted in violations of several California Labor Codes. The suit further claims that employees were not provided with accurate itemized wage statements as a direct consequence of these missed breaks, which is also a violation of state law.

Collectors Universe, Inc. provides authentication and trading services for the collectibles industry. The specific details regarding the alleged impact on employees and the exact nature of the wage statement inaccuracies were not immediately available.

The legal action highlights ongoing scrutiny of employer practices regarding break times and wage documentation under California's stringent labor regulations, which often lead to class-action lawsuits when violations are alleged.
