A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit alleging Tween Brands Inc. violated Ohio law by advertising merchandise as “on sale” that had not been sold continuously at the stated regular price for 28 of the preceding 90 days. If you purchased any product from Tween Brands retail stores, also known as “Justice” stores, in Ohio, you may be eligible for benefits from the sale price class action settlement.
Justice stores sell clothes targeted to “tween” girls between the ages of 10 to 13. The Tween Brands class action lawsuit was filed by a customer who alleges Justice misled consumers with claims that its sales provided shoppers with “40 percent off.” The plaintiff alleges the items were sold at a higher price so infrequently that the 40 percent off price actually reflected the regular price of the items.
According to the Justice class action lawsuit, this practice violates Ohio law, which allows stores to advertise a “sale price” on items only if they were sold at a higher, regular price for at least 28 days in the previous 90 days.
Tween Brands denies that it violated the law, but has agreed to settle the class action lawsuit to avoid the uncertainty, risk and expense of litigation. The Justice sale price class action settlement was preliminarily approved on Jan. 23, 2015.
UPDATE: A separate Justice sale price class action settlement that applies to consumers throughout the United States has been reached. Click here or visit www.JusticeClassAction.com for details.

I followed the instructions and submitted a valid claim. I opted for the $12 since it was easier than tracking all of my purchases. I did not send the form certified mail since it was a mere $12 claim. After checking the website and searching to find a valid contact number I called to determine the status of my claim. 1-800-327-3664 My info was sent to another department to investigate. I was told that they never received it. I wonder how many others did not get paid. Lesson learned, I will NEVER shop at their stores again for any reason.
I moved since I filed a claim and there is no way to contact them. Help! email or phone # anybody please?
