Macy’s CVC Sheets $10.5M class action settlement

EDITOR’S NOTE: This content has been sponsored and edited for clarity in collaboration with the sponsor.

Macy’s agreed to pay $10.5 million to resolve a class action lawsuit claiming CVC Sheets were falsely advertised with an inflated thread count. Proof of purchase may not be required for class members to benefit from the settlement.

The settlement benefits consumers who purchased one or more CVC Sheets supplied by AQ Textiles LLC from a Macy’s store between Nov. 8, 2013, and March 24, 2023.

The Macy’s class action lawsuit claims CVC Sheets were labeled with an inflated thread count. This alleged false advertising caused consumers to overpay for the sheet sets, the plaintiffs contend. 

Macy’s is a national retailer. The department store sells CVC Sheets supplied by AQ Textiles.

Macy’s hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to a $10.5 million settlement to resolve the CVC Sheets false advertising class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive a cash payment based on the number of CVC Sheets they purchased from Macy’s. 

Claimants who provide proof of purchase or whose purchases can be verified by Macy’s records can receive up to $7.50 per unit of CVC Sheets purchased. 

Claimants without proof of purchase can receive up to $2.50 per household, regardless of the number of sheets they purchased. 

If the number of claims exceeds the net settlement fund, payments may be reduced on a pro rata basis. 

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Sept. 6, 2023.

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Oct. 20, 2023.

In order to receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form within 180 of the effective date. Based on the scheduled final approval hearing, the current estimated claim form deadline is April 17, 2024, but may be subject to change.
