Instacart’s AI-Enabled Pricing Experiments May Be Inflating Your Grocery Bill, CR and Groundwork Collaborative Investigation Finds
Derek Kravitz, Consumer Reports
In May 2014, a federal judge dismissed a class-action lawsuit against Toys “R” Us because the parties reached a settlement. The complaint, which was originally filed in 2012, alleged that Toys “R” Us offered a “free gift” to consumers who purchased items through its website when, in reality, there was no free gift or the free gift was not of the advertised value. At this time, we do not know the terms of the settlement. Plaintiffs can reopen the action if the settlement is not completed within 60 days. (Probert et al v. Toys “R” Us, Inc., Case No. 12-cv-07237, D. NJ.).
