Aeropostale False Discounts Open Class Action Lawsuit

Aeropostale False Discount Class Action Lawsuit

An Aeropostale customer filed a false discounts class action lawsuit alleging that its customers are deceived by the company’s marketing practices.

The Aeropostale class action was filed by a consumer who claims that he was shopping for clothing at a California Aeropostale retail store in hopes of getting a good deal.

He says that he came across a knit hat on a “60% OFF” sale” for $7.80. The regular price of the hat was listed at $19.50, which he took to mean that he was saving $11.70 off the regular price for the hat. But these representations were allegedly false, according to the class action lawsuit.

The class action alleges that in fact Aeropostale “never offered the hat at the purported regular price of $19.50. According to the Aeropostale class action lawsuit, the man would not have purchased the hat at the price he had paid if he had known the hat was not regularly offered at the higher list price. 

“Plaintiff and the Class were harmed because the items they purchased were not in fact worth the inflated amount that Aeropostale represented to them. In fact, the items did not normally sell for and were not actually worth the fictitious and invented list price that Aeropostale printed on its price tags and listed on its website,” according to the class action. 

“Aeropostale’s false advertising scheme fraudulently increased demand for Aeropostale’s products … enabling Defendants to charge their customers more than they otherwise could have charged,” the  Aeropostale class action lawsuit adds.
