SAN DIEGO (Legal Newsline) — Consumer Reports is facing a class action lawsuit alleging they violated California law by enrolling consumers in automatic renewal and continuous subscriptions.
Nino Koller and Michelle Brown, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a complaint April 6 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California against Consumer Reports Inc., alleging violation of the Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Unfair Competition Law and unjust enrichment.
The plaintiffs allege that Consumer Reports failed to disclose to consumers who signed up for their monthly magazine the terms of their automatic renewal and continuous service plans. They also claim Consumer Reports charge the consumer's credit, debit card or third party account without consent and failed to provide a cancellation policy.
The plaintiffs seek monetary relief, interest, trial by jury and all other proper relief. They are represented by Zach Dostart of Dostart Hannink & Coveney LLP in LaJolla.
