Walmart Returns Class Action Settlement Gets Judge’s Approval
Consumers who returned items to Walmart or Sam’s Club and were not refunded their sales tax may have some money coming to them.
A judge recently granted preliminary approval to a proposed $5 million settlement in a 2017 class action lawsuit that alleged Walmart didn’t refund sales tax to customers making returns.
Class Members’ individual payouts will depend on the number of claims made in the settlement.
Eligible class members are those who bought items at Walmart or Sam’s Club, either in store or online, and were shorted the sales tax when returning their items.
In addition to the monetary relief, Walmart has agree to update its point-of-sale systems.

Class Action Lawsuit Says Ginkgo Smart Fails To Deliver On Advertising Claims
A new class action lawsuit says Ginkgo Smart supplements don’t live up to the claims made by the manufacturer in its advertising.

According to the class action lawsuit, several studies have concluded ginkgo biloba does not, in fact, “improve cognitive function,” nor is it effective in boosting memory or concentration.

Tecate Beer Class Action Lawsuit Argues Fraud Over ‘Hecha en Baja’
If you have enjoyed Tecate beer, you may be surprised — as the plaintiff in a recent class action lawsuit was — to discover it is not made in Mexico.
Tecate, which is manufactured by Heineken USA, is allegedly falsely advertised as being made in Baja California, Mexico.
According to the complaint, the fact Tecate cans themselves say “hecha en Baja,” which translates to “made in Baja.”
Based on the product’s marketing, the plaintiff argues, reasonable consumers would believe the beer is made in Mexico.

Little Remedies Pain Reliever Not ‘Specially Formulated’ For Babies, Class Action Lawsuit Says
The maker of Little Remedies pain reliever preys upon parents’ and other caregivers’ fears of overdosing children on acetaminophen, according to a new class action lawsuit.
While the pain relievers’ marketing leads consumers to believe the products are safer for infants than children’s varieties, the plaintiffs contend there is no difference other than the price: Prestige, the manufacturer, charges more for its infant Little Remedies products than the child’s version.
Both products contain the same medicine, the plaintiffs say.
