Did you shop at Ann Taylor Factory Stores or LOFT Outlet Stores? You may be eligible for a settlement benefit. A class action lawsuit claimed that the brand used misleading pricing practices, showing inflated “original” prices to make discounts look bigger than they really were. While the company denies wrongdoing, it agreed to a settlement offering $11 vouchers to eligible shoppers.
Why is there a lawsuit?
The lawsuit says Ann Taylor Factory and LOFT Outlet used fake discounts, displaying “original prices” that didn’t reflect reality. For example, an item might be marked “50% off” when it was never actually sold at the higher price. This kind of pricing practice can trick shoppers into thinking they’re getting a bigger deal than they are.
Ann Taylor has not admitted fault, but settled to avoid the expense of continuing litigation.
Who qualifies?
