STOTS v. DOLLAR TREE STORES, INC.

What this case is about

The plaintiff, Stots, filed this class action on behalf of other similarly situated shoppers who were allegedly harmed by the company's conduct in its stores.

The proposed class would likely include customers who shopped at Dollar Tree locations and experienced similar pricing issues during a defined time period.
