Consumers who purchased products at a sale price from Joybird.com or at a physical Joybird store while residing in California, Oregon or Washington between Dec. 18, 2019, and Oct. 31, 2025, may be eligible to claim $115 from a class action settlement.

La-Z-Boy Inc. and Stitch Industries Inc. agreed to pay $7 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging they deceptively advertised discounts on Joybird products both online and in stores.

The plaintiffs claimed the companies misrepresented the nature and extent of discounts on their website and in stores.

The defendants denied all allegations but agreed to settle to avoid the risks and costs of continued litigation. The court has not ruled on the merits of the claims.
