Hewlett Packard (HP) has reached a $4 million class action settlement over allegations of false advertising on their website. The suit claims HP displayed misleading strikethrough and discounted prices for certain electronics products such as desktop computers, laptops, mice, and keyboards, causing consumers to pay more or make purchases they wouldn't have otherwise. The settlement pertains to 288,000 consumers who purchased these HP items between June 2021 and October 2024, which were often offered at a discount more than 75% of the time. Accused of violating California's Consumer Legal Remedies Act, False Advertising Law, and Unfair Competition Law, the lawsuit also highlights the broader issue of unjust enrichment at the consumer's expense. The potential payout for each claimant in this case depends on the product type and estimated per-unit damages, ranging from $5 to $100. As part of the settlement process, claimants may need to provide proof of their purchase, and the final approval hearing is due in August 2025.
