Logitech sued for keeping US tariff refunds instead of returning them to customers
Logitech accused for allegedly keeping tariff refunds for itself despite raising the consumer cost of products to silently pay for tariffs.
Logitech is currently embroiled in a class action lawsuit after allegedly retaining tariff refunds instead of returning the funds to customers. According to the lawsuit filed by Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, LLP, the company raised the price of certain products to cover the expenses related to import tariffs, but failed to provide customers with a mechanism to reclaim the tariff costs they were forced to absorb.
Many of Logitech's products experienced price increases, with some rising as much as 25%, while the company's investors were informed by executives about the need to raise product prices to offset tariff costs. The case also highlights similar allegations against Nintendo and Sony, who are accused of raising product costs to cover tariff expenses and retaining the refunds for themselves.
