LOS ANGELES (Legal Newsline) – A California woman is suing an shoe retailer claiming it used deceptive and misleading advertising to market the exclusive merchandise it sells online and in its stores.
Amy Evans, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California on May 31 against DSW Inc., alleging violation of unfair competition laws and unjust enrichment.
According to the complaint, DSW intentionally misrepresents prices for products manufactured and sold exclusively for it, claiming they are steeply discounted. However, the suit claims the discounts are misleading because the products are only sold at DSW and never for the alleged suggested retail prices.
Evans seeks a jury trial, restitution for damages and disgorgement of unjust enrichment. She is represented by four attorneys from Tycko & Zavareei: Kristen Law Sagafi and Martin D. Quinones in Oakland, and Hassan A. Zavareei and Jeffrey D. Kaliel in Washington, D.C.
