Data Exposed
Leisure Time Products, LLC dba Backyard Discovery was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the NH Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on March 24, 2025.
Leisure Time Products, LLC, doing business as Backyard Discovery, is a well-established direct-to-consumer and commercial manufacturer and retailer specializing in wooden swing sets, playsets, pergolas, gazebos, and backyard leisure structures. Because the company operates expansive e-commerce platforms and maintains deep supply chain logistics, it routinely collects, processes, and stores vast quantities of personally identifiable information. This sensitive data comes from multiple touchpoints, including online retail transactions, warranty registrations, customer support interactions, and employee human resources management. Consequently, the company maintains extensive digital dossiers containing customer billing details, shipping addresses, telephone numbers, and financial transaction histories alongside internal employee payroll records. The security incident reported by Backyard Discovery to the New Hampshire Attorney General in 2025 highlights the acute vulnerabilities inherent in modern digital retail infrastructure. While specific technical disclosures regarding the initial vector continue to be evaluated, breaches affecting e-commerce and manufacturing enterprises typically involve unauthorized intrusions into central enterprise resource planning databases, third-party vendor compromises, or targeted credential-harvesting attacks. Retailers often utilize interconnected digital environments where e-commerce storefronts, payment gateways, and inventory management systems interface. When threat actors exploit vulnerabilities within these digital touchpoints, they can gain unauthorized access to underlying databases that store historical customer records and internal corporate files. The exposure resulting from the Backyard Discovery breach compromises a dangerous mix of personal, transactional, and potentially internal employment data, creating significant vulnerability for affected individuals. Unauthorized acquisition of names, physical mailing addresses, email addresses, and telephone numbers exposes victims to sophisticated phishing scams, targeted social engineering attacks, and relentless spam campaigns. Furthermore, if payment card data, purchase histories, or financing application details were accessed, victims face an immediate risk of fraudulent charges, unauthorized credit card applications, and identity theft. For any current or former employees whose data may have been co-mingled in internal databases, the exposure of sensitive identifiers heightens the risk of targeted tax fraud and unauthorized access to personal financial accounts. As a commercial enterprise handling consumer and employee data, Leisure Time Products, LLC dba Backyard Discovery had robust legal obligations under state data protection statutes, common law duty of care, and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act to implement and maintain reasonable security measures. These legal mandates require companies to encrypt sensitive databases, enforce strict access controls, regularly update software patches, and monitor network traffic for anomalous behavior. The occurrence of a data breach of this nature strongly indicates a potential failure in fulfilling these security duties, suggesting that existing safeguards were either inadequate or improperly maintained in the face of foreseeable cyber threats. Receiving an official data breach notification letter from Backyard Discovery serves as a formal acknowledgment by the company that your personal information was compromised due to inadequate security protocols. Legally, this notification establishes the necessary standing for affected consumers and employees to participate in a class action lawsuit aimed at holding the company accountable for its security failures. Under the law, victims are not required to prove that they have already suffered actual financial loss to seek legal recourse; the increased risk of future identity theft and the loss of data privacy are actionable harms. Our firm evaluates these data breach cases on a strict contingency fee basis, meaning you pay absolutely nothing out of pocket, and we only collect a fee if we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
Based on the data types reported, affected individuals face:
Phone numbers exposed in breaches are used for SIM swapping attacks — hijacking your number to bypass two-factor authentication on financial accounts.
Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.
What the New Hampshire data breach notification law and federal statutes entitle you to recover:
The hours spent responding to a data breach — canceling accounts, contacting credit bureaus, updating passwords, and investigating fraud — represent compensable economic harm in data breach litigation.
Fees charged to close and reopen accounts, issue replacement cards, or dispute fraudulent transactions are recoverable in data breach litigation. So are the costs of overdrafts, late payments, and credit damage caused by unauthorized activity.
Several state data breach laws provide for statutory minimum damages — fixed amounts recoverable per affected individual regardless of actual loss. These provisions exist specifically to make legal action viable for victims who have not yet experienced direct harm.
Note: an attorney general breach filing does not by itself establish a settlement fund, a payment amount, or a claim deadline. If an official settlement notice is later issued, rely on that notice for payment details and deadlines.
No. Under New Hampshire data breach notification law and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.
Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.
Banks may reverse fraudulent charges, but they are not obligated to compensate you for time lost, stress, or indirect damages. A class action claim against the breached company can recover those additional categories of harm.
Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state but typically run 2–4 years. Depending on when you learned of the breach, you may still have time. Contact our office for a free eligibility review — there is no cost to find out.
Accepting free credit monitoring from Leisure Time Products, LLC dba Backyard Discovery does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.
Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Leisure Time Products, LLC dba Backyard Discovery during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
Most data breach class actions resolve within 18 to 36 months, though timelines vary by court and complexity. Your participation requires minimal effort — typically completing a claim form. Our office handles all litigation; you are notified when a settlement is reached.
