Later the same month, a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint (which consolidates this lawsuit with two others: Chester v. T.J. Maxx and Metoyer v. HomeGoods) 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. (In Re The TJX Companies, Inc., Case No. 15-cv-1437, C. D. CA.)
