Kipling Apparel Corp. $600,000 Outlet Discount Settlement

Class members who made a purchase at a Kipling Apparel outlet store in California between Dec. 8, 2019, and May 29, 2025, may qualify to claim a $10 voucher from a class action settlement.

Kipling Apparel Corp. agreed to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it advertised improper discounts at its California outlet stores.

Who is eligible for a Kipling Apparel payout?

Class members must meet the following criteria:

• They purchased one or more products from a Kipling outlet store in California between Dec. 8, 2019, and May 29, 2025.
• They made the purchase at a discount from an advertised reference price.
• They have not received a refund or credit for their purchase(s).

There are two main groups of class members:

• Direct benefit class members: Individuals who received a direct notice from Kipling via email.
• Other class members: Individuals who learned about the settlement through other means (such as mail, website or publication)

How much is the outlet discount payment?

Each eligible class member can receive a voucher worth up to $10, which can be used toward any in-store purchase at Kipling’s California outlet stores. The voucher is non-transferable, cannot be used with other vouchers or discount codes and will expire one year after it is issued. If a consumer uses the voucher for a purchase less than $10, there will be no remaining balance.

• Direct benefit class members will automatically receive a $10 voucher after the settlement is approved.
• Other class members must submit a valid claim form to receive the voucher.

How to claim a false advertising class action rebate

Class members who did not receive direct email notice of the settlement must submit a claim form to receive their voucher. They can file an online claim form or download, print and complete a PDF claim form and mail it to the settlement administrator.
