Blackstone class action accuses company of luring customers with fake discounts
A class action lawsuit alleges Blackstone Products deceives customers with falsely advertised discounts on its website.Summary
A class action lawsuit has been filed against Blackstone Products, alleging the company uses deceptive marketing practices by advertising fake discounts on its website. Plaintiff Charles Welch claims Blackstone regularly lists products with discounts of $50 to $200, but these discounts are misleading because the products are never actually sold at the higher “original” prices. Welch asserts this practice violates California’s Unfair Competition Law, False Advertising Law, and Consumer Legal Remedies Act. He alleges Blackstone has earned millions through this scheme and seeks to represent all California consumers who purchased items from the website under these false pretenses. The lawsuit seeks damages, restitution, and injunctive relief. A similar class action has also been filed against Samsonite for allegedly using the same deceptive discount tactics.
