Walmart is a large retailing organization that is well known for its huge inventory of products. However, it is not always a pleasant experience shopping at Walmart. In recent times there have been increasing concerns about Walmart’s labor practices and their dangerous environment.
As consumers we are all concerned about our quality of life and how companies such as Walmart relate to these issues. There is little doubt that Walmart has not done enough to clean up their act, however, a Class Action Lawsuit is something that is available should you feel the need.
False Advertisements and Walmart Class Action Lawsuit
Details: Walmart is a US company and they have been the subject of many class action lawsuits regarding their labor practices. They have also been the subject of many complaints regarding their advertising and their false advertising claims.
There was recently an investigation into their recycling program in Spain that was focused on their claims that their paper was “recycled” and made from recycled materials. That being investigated by the Labor Relations Commission, who found that Walmart had not met the requirements required by the law in this case.
If you have been injured or have experienced any type of negligence as a result of Walmart’s misleading advertising claims then you may be eligible to file a Walmart False Advertisements Lawsuit against the company.
There have been multiple class action lawsuits filed against the company. The most recent suit involved a customer who bought a sleeping bag and bedding from Walmart and was later found to contain lead. It was determined that Walmart was advertising a product with this label when in reality it was not. The complaint was then won by the customer.
The company has settled several other class action lawsuits related to their false advertising claims.
These include cases that were brought against them over their labeling of their own store-in-fact, called Walmart Home Improvement, as “stores”. Another case involved their “raised floor” in their stores. This meant that customers walking through the store could not see the merchandise on the ground and was then charged extra for the merchandise.
This is just one of the many class action lawsuits filed against the company.
In their defense, Walmart states that they do not advertise their own products to consumers. This is partly true, but they still have not met all of the requirements that are required under law. So if you have suffered injuries or have experienced any type of negligence as a result of Walmart’s false advertising claims, you may be able to receive compensation from them for your losses.
If you are a victim of misleading advertising, there are many free online resources that you can use in order to find out whether or not you have a case.
The most important thing to remember is that even if you find that there is indeed a potentially valid case, that does not mean that Walmart was actually negligent. For instance, if they were advertising an extended warranty and it clearly stated that extended warranties were not available with the product, there would not necessarily be a case. But what about when they said that only 20% of their repairs were covered? That could be considered deceptive advertising. So as you can see, it all depends on the particular circumstances and whether or not Walmart has met their obligations under the law.
