Customers are taking Ikea to court in Pa. over tariff price hikes
Summary
Following the U.S. Supreme Court's February ruling that struck down President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, companies and consumers alike sought refunds. Ikea shoppers have filed a proposed class-action lawsuit in federal court in Philadelphia, asking a judge to order the furniture company to reimburse customers for the price increases imposed during the months the tariffs were in effect. The lawsuit, brought by Brenda Perez and another customer from California, alleges that Ikea implemented a "tariff pass-through pricing" strategy, charging customers an extra $2 to $7 per item due to the duties. With Ikea reporting $5.3 billion in U.S. sales and millions of customers, the plaintiffs are seeking to recover these additional costs.
