Plaintiffs Amal Talib and Patricia Thompson have filed a class action lawsuit against At Home Stores, claiming that the company is selling At Home Luxury Sheets advertised as 1,000-threat count sheets that do not have that high of a thread count.
Instead of using the industry standard of counting yarns that are parallel and laid together as one thread, At Home allegedly is counting each yarn separately and thus inflating the thread count number and deceiving customers, the At Home class action claims.
“At Home’s representations regarding the thread counts of its Luxury Sheets were deceptive and misleading according to both the industry standard and the FTC’s guidelines for accurately describing thread counts,” the At Home class action says. “Further, At Home knew or had reason to know that the thread count represented on the Luxury Sheets was false and deceptive because the prices for the Luxury Sheets are lower than those for authentic bed sheets of the same or substantially similar blends with the advertised thread counts.”
