GET GREEN: Americans may get $115 payments from $11.5m ‘false advertising’ settlement – and you don’t even need proof
According to The Sun, Consumers in California and Oregon could soon receive $115 payments from an $11.5 million settlement with Saatva, an online mattress retailer, over allegations of false advertising. This settlement addresses claims that Saatva violated state laws by misleading customers with deceptive discount offers on their website.
Allegations Against Saatva
The class action lawsuit accused Saatva of misrepresenting discounts on its mattresses, allegedly deceiving customers into believing they were getting better deals than they actually were. Although Saatva has not admitted any wrongdoing, the company has agreed to pay $11.5 million to resolve these claims.
Payment Eligibility
The settlement benefits two groups of consumers:
- California residents who purchased one or more mattresses from Saatva.com between May 23, 2020, and May 23, 2024.
- Oregon residents who bought a mattress between May 23, 2023, and May 23, 2024.
If you fall into one of these categories, you could receive a $115 payment. Additionally, a store credit voucher will also be available as part of the settlement.
