Eddie Bauer’s Discounts

November 2019: A federal judge concluded that the named plaintiff’s disputes regarding her online purchases were bound by the arbitration agreement in Eddie Bauer’s Terms of Use and granted the retailer’s motion to compel arbitration.

June 2019: This case was transferred to federal court. (Case No. 19-cv-1012, W.D. Wash.)

May 2019: A class-action lawsuit was filed against Eddie Bauer LLC for allegedly engaging in a “massive false discount advertising scheme.” Specifically, the complaint claims that the retailer misleadingly advertises specific percentage discounts off of “regular” prices when, according to plaintiffs, the retailer rarely, if ever, sells the merchandise at the represented regular price. (Harbers et al v. Eddie Bauer LLC, Case No. 19-2-14167-1, Washington State Court – King County)
