Case overview
What is the Abercrombie & Fitch case about?
A proposed class action filed in California accuses Abercrombie & Fitch of a pricing practice known as 'drip pricing' on its Abercrombie and Hollister websites. According to the complaint, the retailer advertises products at artificially low prices, only to add a mandatory 'handling' fee that shoppers don't see until the final step of checkout. Plaintiff Naomi Heilman claims this practice violates California's Consumer Legal Remedies Act along with other related state consumer protection laws. The case remains a proposed lawsuit, with no settlement yet reached.
