September 2015: This action was dismissed, the reasons for which have not been disclosed. Later the same month, a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint (which consolidates this lawsuit with two others: Chester v. T.J. Maxx and Berkoff v. Marshalls) making similar allegations was filed. The complaint alleges that TJX Companies retailers – including TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods – make consumers believe that prices of products are significantly discounted by comparing its prices to false higher prices.
