Neiman Marcus Last Call Settlement Notes
- Linda Rubenstein v. The Neiman Marcus Group LLC
- Case No. 2:14-cv-07155-SJO-JPR
- Pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California
In August 2014, plaintiff Linda Rubenstein filed this putative class action lawsuit alleging that consumers were deceived by the purported fake “Compared to” price tags on merchandise sold at Neiman Marcus Last Call outlet stores in California.
Outlet stores have become increasingly popular among shoppers who seek luxury products without the hefty price tag. According to the complaint, the products sold at Neiman Marcus Last Call stores have never been sold or intended to sell at Neiman Marcus’ flagship luxury stores. Instead, lower quality products are manufactured directly for sale at Neiman Marcus Last Call and sold at a price specifically determined for that purpose.
Despite this, Neiman Marcus includes a significantly higher “Compared to” price on its Last Call product price tags that suggest that the product has been discounted or is otherwise comparable to luxury products at the “Compared to” price point.
This practice, combined with the name and branding of the Neiman Marcus Last Call stores, deceives consumers into thinking that they are purchasing discounted Neiman Marcus luxury products in accordance with the traditional model of retail outlet stores.
Neiman Marcus denies all allegations and wrongdoing of any kind. Complete details about the case and settlement are provided on the Neiman Marcus Last Call settlement website.
Class members who wish to object to or exclude themselves from the Neiman Marcus Last Call settlement must do so by August 20, 2018. Class members who wish to participate in the settlement must submit a claim form on or before August 20, 2018.
