Logitech hit by sueball over tariff refunds

A lawsuit has been filed against tech company Logitech in a California District Court, alleging that the company withheld tariff refunds from customers and kept those higher prices. When the US administration imposed tariffs on imports, Logitech passed them on to US customers. According to the 102-page complaint, Logitech raised US retail prices across approximately half of its product catalog, by an average of around 14 percent, with some products seeing increases of up to 25 percent.

The complaint states that Logitech's own executives and securities filings confirm that the price increases were in response to the IEEPA tariffs. However, on February 20, 2026, the US Supreme Court ruled that the IEEPA did not authorize the US President to impose tariffs. An order was issued on July 15, 2026, directing the US Customs Border Protection to refund the invalidated tariffs to importers rather than consumers.

Logitech received a full refund of $61 million for the invalidated tariffs, but instead of returning the money to customers, the company allegedly kept it. The complaint alleges that Logitech recorded the $61 million as a reduction of cost of goods sold in Q1 of FY2027. The plaintiffs claim that customers have no legal entitlement to the tariff refunds Logitech stands to receive.
