Overview of Fake Sale Lawsuits

A new class action lawsuit investigation has been launched into the pricing practices of factory outlet or “company” stores in California, which may be using deceptive advertising practices to lure customers in with fake markdowns.

At the center of the class action lawsuit investigation is the allegation that some California outlet stores and discount retail stores are misleading consumers into purchasing merchandise based on false representations that the items have been marked down from a fictitious “original,” “regular,” or “MSRP” price. These so-called “original” prices are often fake prices at which items were never actually offered for sale.

The class action lawsuit investigation has even revealed that some factory outlet stores are selling clothing that’s intentionally manufactured as a lower-quality version of the brand-name clothing sold in regular retail stores, further perpetuating the alleged false advertising scheme.

Advertising that merchandise is on sale using a fictitious “original” or “MSRP” price is against the law. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled last year that it is illegal in California to falsely advertise that a product is on sale when the alleged “original price” was not the prevailing market price during the three months immediately preceding the publication of the advertisement.

California is already known for its plaintiff-friendly consumer protection laws, but the Ninth Circuit’s decision will make it even harder for companies to ditch a “fake price markdown” class action lawsuit.
