A lawsuit which seeks class action status on behalf of California consumers has been filed against Cost Plus World Market for selling unassembled furniture while failing to disclose in its advertising that the furniture is unassembled.
The lawsuit was filed July 15, 2005 and seeks class action status on behalf of California consumers against Cost Plus World Market for selling unassembled furniture while failing to disclose in its advertising that the furniture is unassembled. Failure to disclose this fact is a violation of California's Consumer Legal Remedies Act (the "CLRA"). The lawsuit alleges that Cost Plus knows that it is required to disclose in its advertising that its furniture is unassembled, but intentionally ignores the law to boost sales. The suit seeks punitive damages, additional damages for senior citizens and disabled persons who were misled by Cost Plus' advertisements, and requests that Cost Plus make charitable contributions to make amends for allegedly misleading its customers. The length of time in which Cost Plus has been deceiving the public is yet to be determined.
