A $4.85 million settlement has been proposed to resolve a class action claiming that Ross stores used deceptive pricing methods to entice consumers.
Class Members eligible for compensation in the Ross class action settlement include consumers who purchased one or more items with a Ross price tag that included a “compare at” price from a Ross store since June 20, 2011, who have not received a refund or credit for all purchases.
The Ross fake sale class action was filed in June 2015 by consumers claiming that the retailer’s “compare at” prices on sales tags were misleading.
According to the plaintiffs, these prices are not reflective of actual prices for the same item at other stores. Instead, “compare at” prices allegedly represent the prices of similar items or similar styles.
The Ross class action states that a lot of consumers shop at Ross because of its promise that shoppers can get name brand items for “20 to 60% below department store prices.”
However, the plaintiffs say that “compare at” price tags do not clearly inform shoppers that this is not a “true, bona fide” price comparison, rather it’s just a “reference” price.
After years of litigation, negotiations and mediation sessions, the Ross class action settlement was reached in October 2018 and will resolve the class action claims brought in the 2015 suit.
Under the $4.854 million Ross class action settlement, consumers can recover a Ross merchandise certificate to be used as store credit.
The amount of the merchandise certificate will vary depending on how many Class Members file valid claims. Class Members can also exchange the merchandise certificate for 75 percent of the credit’s value in cash.
The Ross class action settlement also allows Class counsel to ask for up to 25 percent of the total settlement fund as attorneys’ fees and court costs. Additionally, lead plaintiffs in the Ross fake sale class action will receive up to $5,000 each as a service award.
Ross does not admit any wrongdoing by settling the suit. Instead the settlement allows both parties to avoid the risks and costs associated with continued litigation.
Class Members have until May 31, 2019 to file a valid claim or opt out of the settlement.

rec’d gift card for $10.49 12/2/19, WA State
Same here?
I received an empty envelope, it was never sealed.
I got an empty never sealed envelope today.
This is ridiculous.
Gonna reach out to administrator. Absurd to not get what I should’ve received.
Received gift card SC
In Ohio 10.49
Hello,
We’re you able to redeem your gift card in stores? I see other people are having issues and want to be prepared.
Letter from settlement in the mail on November 30th, 2019.
Received my gift card of $10.49. Smh.
me too! I hope the card works!
I got a paper gift card for $10.49 here in Cali today and several other family members as well. It says we can redeem for 75% of value by mailing them back by December 4, 2020.
I received an empty envelope. :::Shrug:::
Mines in the mail today also. I hear it’s a $10 merchandise credit, not a check. You can send it back to get 75% of the credit In cash if you want another long wait.
Spoke to CPT Group rep today to update my mailing address. She confirmed that $10 merchandise certificates will be mailed on Dec 31, 2019. Certificate will come with a letter of instruction on how to return for cash equal to 75 percent of the value of the merchandise certificate. That additional processing could take up to 8 weeks.
$10 that’s a shame. I spent way more than that. I shop at Ross, TJ Maxx and Marshals on a regular basis. We flooded and I spent thousands of dollars in just a two to 3 week period between the 3 stores to replace clothing.’, household items and everything we lost.
appreciate the update TCA. will look for certificates in Dec. thanks!
