Plaintiffs have reeled in a preliminary $6 million settlement with Bass Pro Outdoor World LLC to end a class action that alleged the company violated federal law by illegally recording 30,000 California customers’ calls without their consent.

U.S. District Judge Cynthia Bashant on Aug. 1 approved the tentative settlement in McDonald v. Bass Pro. The deal also requires the sporting goods retailer to stop recording, without prior approval, incoming and outgoing calls with consumers.
