Hobby Lobby’s Deceptive Advertising: Know Your Rights as a Consumer or Competitor Featured
Hobby Lobby’s fake discount pricing scheme designed to dupe consumers into false belief of a deal and gain market share from competitors in violation of antitrust laws.
Are you a Californian who loves to shop for arts and crafts supplies at Hobby Lobby? If so, you might want to pay attention to a recent proposed class action lawsuit against the retail giant. The lawsuit is taking a stand against Hobby Lobby’s deceptive advertising practices, and it’s time for consumers to know their rights.
What’s the Lawsuit About?
Hobby Lobby has been accused of misleading consumers with its so-called “discount” pricing strategy. The lawsuit alleges that the retailer advertises significant discounts on certain products, claiming they are on sale when, in reality, these “discounts” are permanent. Such permanently discounted products include-
- Photo frames and framed wall art (advertised at 50% off);
- Custom picture framing services (advertised at 50% off);
- Home Décor Fabric (advertised as 30% off);
- All furniture (advertised as 30% off); and
- T-shirts (advertised as 30% off).
This misleading practice violates both California law and the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on discount pricing by duping unsuspecting consumers into believing they’re getting a deal when in fact they are paying regular prices.
