Ashley Furniture agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that it advertised discounts using misleading reference prices — tricking consumers into thinking they were getting a good deal.

The settlement benefits consumers who purchased one or more products from Ashley Furniture that were advertised at a discount from a regular or original price online between April 13, 2018, and March 31, 2022, or in-store between March 9, 2017, and March 31, 2022.

According to the class action lawsuit, Ashley Furniture advertised inaccurate sales on its website and in stores by using misleading “original prices” that did not reflect the actual value of the products. These fake discounts allegedly tricked consumers into making purchases they otherwise would not have.

Ashley Furniture is a national furniture store with physical stores and an online presence.

Ashley Furniture hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve the class action lawsuit.

Under the terms of the settlement, class members can receive one voucher which can be used at Ashley Furniture stores or online. Each voucher is worth $30 and will remain valid for 180 days.

The deadline for exclusion and objection is Dec. 23, 2023.

The final approval hearing for the settlement is scheduled for Jan. 19, 2024.

In order to receive settlement benefits, class members must submit a valid claim form by Dec. 23, 2023.
