Americans Set to Receive Share of $10 Million Settlement with No Proof Required

Thousands of Americans have the opportunity to claim payments from a $10 million settlement as the final deadline approaches. The class action lawsuit involves allegations against plus-size clothing retailer Torrid, accusing them of running misleading discount ads on their website. Consumers who initiated the legal action claimed they would not have made purchases from Torrid had they known that the company did not honor the discounts advertised.

Although Torrid refuted any wrongdoing, they agreed to pay $10 million in both cash and credit to settle the lawsuit. Eligible claimants have the choice to receive a payment of up to $15 from the cash fund or opt for a $15 store voucher instead. The store vouchers will be sent via email and can be redeemed in a single order on Torrid.com or at one of the company’s physical stores.

To secure a settlement payment, eligible class members must complete and submit a valid claim form by the deadline of August 26. The final approval hearing for the class action settlement is set for September 19, as reported by Top Class Actions. The settlement is exclusively available to customers who reside in Oregon, California, or Washington and made purchases on Torrid.com between January 1, 2020, and February 18, 2025. Remarkably, no proof of purchase is required for claimants to receive compensation.

Class action lawsuits like this provide a platform for groups of individuals, known as ‘classes,’ to collaborate in legal proceedings. Generally, these lawsuits involve one or more individuals alleging that a company or entity has harmed a larger group of people. When a suit is classified as a class action, it extends to all members with similar complaints to the initial plaintiffs.

Companies frequently settle class actions by offering financial compensation to class members in exchange for their agreement not to pursue further legal action. Settlement agreements commonly include denials of wrongdoing from the defendant, who opts to settle to avoid the expenses associated with protracted litigation. Various issues such as pollution, discrimination, and false advertising can lead to class action lawsuits against companies.

In a similar vein, companies like Quaker Oats, Clif Bar, Visa, Mastercard, Bridgeway Center, and Magid Glove have faced class action lawsuits that resulted in significant settlement payments to affected parties. These settlements highlight the importance of corporate accountability and consumer protection within the legal system.

Overall, the upcoming deadline for the Torrid settlement serves as a reminder of the power of class action lawsuits in ensuring fair treatment for consumers and holding companies accountable for their actions. Eligible individuals should take advantage of this opportunity to claim their rightful share of the settlement before the deadline passes.
