Jos. A. Bank has been the subject of numerous lawsuits recently claiming that the popular men’s clothing retailer has been deceptively advertising sales prices to consumers.
In general, the lawsuits claim that the Jos. A. Bank fake prices stem from the fact that some merchandise is perpetually “on sale” and that merchandise is rarely, if ever, sold at the “regular price.”
Allegedly, Jos. A. Bank often runs “Buy One, Get Two Free” or “Buy One, Get Three Free” deals on clothing. A customer must buy a suit at a “regular price” in order to get that deal.
However, the lawsuits claim that that “regular price” is inflated and false. In essence, the Jos. A. Bank fake prices are the same prices at which the merchandise is almost always sold.
Jos. A. Bank Fake Prices Lawsuit
Recently, plaintiffs David M. Lucas and Eric L. Salerno, of California, are seeking class status for a lawsuit against the clothing store for Jos. A. Bank fake prices.
They claim that Jos. A. Bank engaged in “deceptive and unlawful use of so-called ‘sales’ based on inflated, arbitrary and false ‘former’ prices.”
The plaintiffs also allege that in Jos. A. Bank’s direct marketing, through their website, print advertising and in-store displays, they advertise “false former prices, false price discounts and false free apparel promotions for its men’s suits, sportcoats and dress pants.”
According to this lawsuit, the clothing store offered “free” clothing if consumers purchased another item at a regular price. However, these regular prices are a sham, the plaintiffs say.
California false advertising laws state that before offering an item at a discount, retailers must sell an item at its original price for 3 months.
This lawsuit claims that the “regular price” suits were not sold at the inflated price for three months.
In fact, the plaintiffs allege, no Jos. A. Bank customer has actually ever paid the “regular” price for a suit not in connection with a sale or discount.
This lawsuit claims that the Jos. A. Bank fake prices are in direct violation of the Federal Trade Commission which also states that a former price for an item must actually be offered as the price for a significant amount of time in order for a sale price to be bona fide.
Thousands of California consumers have been victim to the Jos. A. Bank fake prices who have believed that they have been receiving valuable price reductions or bargains and according to this lawsuit, Jos. A. Bank intentionally concealed and failed to disclose the truth about its advertising.
