Consumers sue FedEx and EssilorLuxottica for refunds on unlawful Trump-era tariffs, seeking compensation for higher prices on goods like shoes and sunglasses.
Two consumers have filed class-action lawsuits against FedEx and EssilorLuxottica, seeking refunds for tariffs imposed under President Trump’s executive authority, which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled were unlawful.
The tariffs, estimated at $130 billion to $175 billion, were levied under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and later deemed unconstitutional.
Over 1,000 businesses, including Revlon and Costco, have sued to recover costs.
The plaintiffs argue that companies’ promises to pass refunds to consumers are not legally binding and that individuals who paid higher prices for goods like tennis shoes and Ray-Ban sunglasses should benefit if refunds are issued.
A formal refund process is expected through federal courts or U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the coming months, with legal experts anticipating more consumer lawsuits, especially against firms that itemized tariff charges.
