Frigidaire class action lawsuit overview:
- Who: Plaintiff Maria Husser-Mejia filed a class action lawsuit against Electrolux Consumer Products Inc.
- Why: Husser-Mejia claims Electrolux falsely advertises discounts for its Frigidaire-branded appliances.
- Where: The Frigidaire class action lawsuit was filed in California federal court.
A new class action lawsuit accuses Electrolux of falsely advertising discounts on its Frigidaire appliances.
Plaintiff Maria Husser-Mejia claims Electrolux advertises substantial discounts on Frigidaire appliances on its website, including on its homepage, product category pages, individual product pages and during checkout.
Electrolux advertises the appliances with discounted prices alongside regular prices, with regular prices shown in strikethrough font, the Frigidaire class action lawsuit says.
Husser-Mejia claims Electrolux advertises its sales as limited-time offers to create a sense of urgency, but these fake discounts do not actually end.
“But when the purportedly time-limited sales end, [Frigidaires’s] prices do not return to the listed regular prices,” the class action lawsuit says. For example, a “Deal of the Week” sale was set to end on June 25, 2025. Two days later, a new promotion offered side-by-side refrigerators at the same discounted prices, according to the complaint.
Husser-Mejia claims she paid $298 for a Frigidaire dishwasher in November 2025 and $943.20 for a Frigidaire refrigerator in February 2026. She says she would not have bought them at those prices if she had known they were not discounted as advertised.
The plaintiff wants to represent a class of California residents who bought one or more Frigidaire appliances advertised at a discount on the company’s website within the applicable statute of limitations.
Frigidaire class action investigation allegedly reveals fake discounts
Husser-Mejia’s attorneys used Google Shopping to review 27 Frigidaire products in July 2026. Google Shopping gives a “typical” price based on what stores across the web charged over the past year. About 85% of the products had a typical price below Frigidaire’s listed regular price, Husser-Mejia claims.
The class action lawsuit alleges third-party retailers routinely sell Frigidaire appliances at or below Electrolux’s supposedly discounted prices. For example, one Frigidaire dishwasher advertised at $399, down from $499, cost about the same at Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe’s and Wayfair, according to the complaint.
Husser-Mejia also claims that after August 2025, Electrolux added a pricing disclaimer to some web pages. Shoppers can see it only by hovering over a small “(i)” symbol.
The Frigidaire class action lawsuit claims Electrolux violated California’s consumer protection laws and is guilty of breach of contract, breach of express warranty, unjust enrichment and negligent and intentional misrepresentation.
The plaintiff demands a jury trial, requesting injunctive relief, restitution and damages, including punitive damages, for herself and all class members.
Meanwhile, a consumer filed a class action lawsuit against Electrolux, alleging the company failed to warn consumers that recalled Frigidaire gas ranges posed a burn hazard due to delayed oven ignition.
