Wal-Mart Miley Cyrus Jewelry class action settlement

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has reached a class action lawsuit settlement over claims that it sold Miley Cyrus-branded jewelry manufactured by BCBG Max Azria Group Inc. that contained high levels of a dangerous chemical. If you purchased Miley Cyrus jewelry from a Wal-Mart retail store after July 1, 2005, you may be eligible for a refund from the class action settlement.

The Wal-Mart Miley Cyrus jewelry settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit (Canamore v. Wal-Mart Stores Inc.) that alleges the Miley Cyrus-branded jewelry that contained cadmium, which the plaintiffs allege posed a danger to its wearers. Wal-Mart pulled the allegedly toxic jewelry from store shelves in 2010.

Wal-Mart denies any wrongdoing but has agreed to provide refunds to consumers under a class action lawsuit settlement that was preliminarily approved on Nov. 5, 2013.

To participate in the Wal-Mart Miley Cyrus-branded jewelry class action settlement, the Settlement Administrator must receive your Claim Form and supporting documents by March 12, 2014.
