Ross Stores Thread Count $790K Class Action Settlement

Consumers who purchased certain cotton-polyester blended sheets from Ross Stores are eligible for injunctive relief in the form of heightened reporting on thread counts and better reports on ongoing investigations after a recent nationwide class action settlement.

The Class includes anyone who bought Chief Value Cotton polyester-cotton blend sheet sets from a Ross store between May 7, 2014, and Nov. 29, 2021. Brand-name products in this class action lawsuit include Bentley Home, Hampton House, and Grande Estate. They also include the Registered Identification Number 113585.

Plaintiffs in this class action lawsuit against Ross Stores allege the actual thread count of certain products were lower than advertised. Plaintiffs alleged that the products’ labels misrepresented the actual thread count.

Ross denies any basis for the lawsuit, and it denies wrongdoing of any kind. Further, Ross says it did not misrepresent the threat count of the products. 

As a result, Ross alleges that Class Members did not suffer injury and therefore are not eligible for monetary relief.

Courts did not rule on this issue, and no guilt or innocence was determined. 

Instead, both parties agreed to a reasonable, fair, and equitable settlement. The class action settlement will now require Ross to provide specific assurances for its products.

Class Members will receive certification in writing that the sheets supplied by Ross comply with the actual thread count. They’ll also be informed about any investigations, claims, or lawsuits about the thread count of sheets supplied to Ross.

As part of the settlement, Ross will pay up to $790,000 in costs related to the lawsuit, settlement, and distribution of funds. Ross will also pay the Class counsel’s fees.

The final hearing will take place Jan. 25, 2022, in Oakland, California.

The deadline to file an objection is Nov. 29, 2021.

Class Members are also eligible to opt out of the lawsuit and class action settlement. Class Members who want to join another lawsuit or raise the same legal claims against Ross in a different lawsuit need to opt out. 

The deadline for Class Members to exclude themselves is Nov. 29, 2021.

Class Members will have no right to sue later for claims if no action is taken.

No claim form is required for this settlement.
