Details: Two proposed class action lawsuit settlements have been reached with Toys “R” Us (d/b/a Babies “R” Us) for allegedly conspiring with several manufacturers to illegally raise the prices on certain baby products. If you purchased one or more of the baby products listed below, you may be able to receive a cash payment from the Baby Products Antitrust class action settlement.

The Babies “R” Us class action lawsuit claims the companies BabyBjörn, Britax, Kids Line, Maclaren, Medela, Peg Perego, and Regal Lager conspired with one other to implement and enforce policies that would prevent competitors of Babies “R” Us from discounting certain baby products. As a result of this alleged baby product conspiracy, Babies “R” Us overcharged consumers for these products, in violation of federal antitrust laws.

The Babies “R” Us class action settlement will provide up to $35.24 million to consumers who purchased the following baby products from Babies “R” Us in the U.S.:
