Walmart class action lawsuit overview:
- Who: Plaintiff Quina Myers filed a class action lawsuit against Walmart Stores Inc.
- Why: Myers claims that Walmart charges consumers more than the price listed on Rollback stickers, price stickers and yellow stickers causing them to overpay for the items.
- Where: The Walmart class action lawsuit was filed in Arkansas federal court.
A new Walmart class action lawsuit alleges the retail giant overcharges consumers for food, baby products, appliances and other products.
Plaintiff Quina Myers claims Walmart charged incorrect prices for items tagged in the aisles between Feb. 1 and July 29, 2024.
Myers says she shopped for food and baby products at Walmart during this timeframe. When she reviewed her receipts, she says she noticed the price she was charged did not match the price quoted on the product.
She says she selected the items with the expectation she would be charged the amount on the price sticker. However, when she checked out, โWalmartโs [point of sale] system deceptively, programmatically and artificially increased the prices of the products,โ the Walmart class action lawsuit says.
The Walmart class action lawsuit notes the retail giant accounted for more than a quarter of all grocery revenues in the United States, accumulating $648 billion in sales in 2024.
Myers claims Walmart gained its market power by squeezing out smaller grocery stores and other retailers with its low prices and consolidated shopping experiences.
Walmart class action says consumers charged prices that do not match sticker price
The Rollback stickers, price stickers and yellow stickers printed on items are important to consumersโ purchasing decisions and entice them to purchase the products at the listed prices, the Walmart class action lawsuit alleges.
Consumers reasonably expect they will be charged for the amount listed on the Rollback stickers, price stickers and yellow stickers, Myers claims. She claims consumers were charged amounts that exceeded the lowest advertised prices on the price stickers, causing them to suffer actual damage by overpaying for the products.
Myers filed the Walmart class action lawsuit on behalf of herself and a proposed nationwide class of consumers who purchased Roll Back or Price Sticker products from a Walmart store in the United States during the class period. She also seeks to represent a Pennsylvania subclass.
The Walmart class action lawsuit asserts claims for violations of Pennsylvaniaโs Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law, declaratory judgment and unjust enrichment.
Walmart employees recently won a โsubstantialโ settlement over required pre-shift COVID-19 screenings.

Please add me
Plz add me. I have pictures where Walmart has incorrectly charged me for several items. Cashies blame whoever is in charge of department for putting correct pricing stickers. Said that if I would look at the barcode on the shelf that it doesnโt match. That is Walmarts problem. Who goes around looking at every barcode and making sure the price and barcode line up correctly? Thatโs why I started writing down the prices when I purchase things. If they donโt match I go take a picture of it. Iโve been denied several times the price that itโs labeled on the shelf. Itโs not my job to make sure that their barcodes and labels are correct.
This has happened so many times but when I show cashier picture they argue with me try to explain why itโs not the right price
Count me and add me in, please.

Iโm in Colorado near two Walmarts. It happened to me at least 10 times especially doing covid when people were rushing not wanting to touch products and where in mask with your glasses was a pain. They expect you to check yourself out distort prices, then demand that you stand in line again to clear the door with your receipt without even as much as a 10% discount. Verifying prices and weight of food items while having kids hanging on the basket and the store being super crowded is torture. This is price gouging on another level
Count me in u definitely purchased baby items during this time frame
Please add me
It happens all the time at the Walmart near me
