Kahn v. L.L.Bean, Inc.

What this case is about

Consumers are suing L.L.Bean, the well-known outdoor clothing and gear retailer, alleging that the company deceived shoppers about its pricing practices. The plaintiffs claim that L.L.Bean advertised products as being on sale or offered at discounted prices, but that the so-called original or regular prices were artificially inflated and did not reflect the true former prices at which the items were actually sold. As a result, customers believed they were getting a significant deal when in reality the discounts were misleading. The proposed class would include consumers who purchased products from L.L.Bean during a specified period and were exposed to these allegedly deceptive price representations, either through the company's website, catalogs, or retail stores.
