At Home class action overview:
- Who: Plaintiff Noelle McFadden filed a class action lawsuit against At Home Group.
- Why: The lawsuit claims At Home inflates its prices before placing a discount on items in order to give the false appearance of a good deal to customers.
- Where: The At Home sale class action was filed in federal court in New Jersey.
At Home inflates its sticker prices before a sale in order to give the appearance of a good deal to customers, a new At Home class action lawsuit claims.
The At Home original price is marked up and then an offer such as 50% off is placed on an item, making the customer believe the final price is a larger discount than it actually is, the lawsuit claims.
The At Home original price scheme is false advertising and violates the express warranty on products, the class action alleges.
“At Home has engaged in a ubiquitous, ongoing, and uniform policy of unlawfully engaging in what is known as a ‘markup to markdown’ practice, affecting all members of the putative class, who have suffered an ascertainable and easily calculable loss,” the At Home class action says.
Class claims At Home sale practices violate New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act
The proposed class includes all New Jersey customers who purchased a discounted At Home sale product either in store or online with a fictitious inflated original price.
The At Home original price class action claims the company’s pricing scheme violates the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act, as it allegedly leads customers to purchase more products than they normally would due to the false and perceived discount, the At Home class action claims.
The class is asking for an injunction, damages, restitution, interest, class reward and both attorneys’ fees and court costs.
At Home faces a September 2023 class action lawsuit claiming its purportedly 1,000-thread count At Home Luxury Sheets do not actually have that high of a thread count.
