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 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.

What a scam, I have bought this crappy jewelry for my sister. You really think she would give it back to me if she even still has it?!?!?! I am sure they will be sitting on a lot of $$ and never pay it out.
What do you expect if you bought it at WalMart, their quality of merchandise is low grade and fall apart too soon, they get there merchandise from China. Remember when you little and you bought a cheap item it fell apart so that you would have to buy more. Beside Walmart has top level attorneys and you won’t win.
If you bought anything from WalMart good luck on returning, they try to get around the policies and besides everything that you buy from WalMart is made in China, what do you expect. If you buy anything that requires a warranty do not I repeat do not buy one, they don’t honor them you have to mail it back and beside it is made in China.
I have bought Miley Cyrus clothes and jewelry for my daughters who are now 22 and 16 who has receipts from 2005 !!!!!!!!
I paid for a chain and ring for my wife and found out it was gold plated store would not take it back.
I purchase one for my childs mother and they wouldn’t let her take item back from the store I purchase it
They would not take it back they told me I would have to mail it in.
