Ashley HomeStore $750,000 Pricing Class Action Settlement

Consumers who bought products from a California Ashley HomeStore operated by Stoneledge Furniture LLC between March 9, 2017, and March 27, 2022, may qualify to claim a cash payment and a $35 voucher from a class action settlement.

Stoneledge Furniture LLC agreed to pay $750,000 to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it advertised inflated “original” or “regular” prices in its California stores. The lawsuit claimed this practice violated California’s Unfair Competition Law and Consumer Legal Remedies Act.

Who can file a claim?

Individuals must meet all of the following criteria:

• They purchased one or more products from a Stoneledge Furniture LLC store in California (operating as Ashley HomeStore).
• They purchased the product(s) between March 9, 2017, and March 27, 2022.
• The product’s “original price” or “regular price” was at least $10 higher than the “invoice price.”

Stoneledge stores in California operate under the Ashley HomeStore name so the settlement covers purchases from these locations.

How much can class members get?

Class members who submit a valid and timely claim are eligible for two types of awards:

• A cash payment from the net settlement fund
• A $35 voucher for use at Stoneledge-owned stores

The settlement fund is $750,000, and after deductions for attorneys’ fees, costs, service awards and administrative expenses, the settlement administrator will distribute the remaining amount pro rata among all eligible claimants. The exact cash payment each class member will receive depends on the total number of valid claims submitted.

The administrator will donate any uncashed or unclaimed funds to the National Consumer Law Center as a cy pres recipient.

The class action lawsuit alleged that Stoneledge Furniture LLC advertised inflated “original” or “regular” prices in its California stores, misleading consumers about the true value of products.

Stoneledge denies all allegations and any liability but agreed to settle to avoid further litigation costs and uncertainty.
