| Walmart and Energizer are facing allegations that they employed certain anticompetitive practices that caused customers to overpay. Specifically, a lawsuit claims that the companies agreed to a scheme in which Energizer raised its wholesale prices for all sellers other than Walmart and punished any sellers that charged lower prices for batteries than the mega-retailer. The result? Walmart could charge consumers higher prices for batteries—for both Energizer and Duracell—without fear that its competitors would undercut prices, the suit says. Attorneys now need to speak with more people who may have been affected to help strengthen the litigation. So, if you bought Energizer or Duracell batteries from a Walmart store (not online), head over to this page to find out how you may be able to help. |

| The company behind the Cupkin brand is facing a proposed class action alleging its recalled double-walled stainless steel children’s cups are worthless and dangerous and lacked adequate warnings. In July 2023, hundreds of thousands of the cups were voluntarily recalled over concerns that the products contained lead in levels that exceeded federal regulations. But too little too late? As the complaint tells it, customers were unaware prior to the recall that they were buying a product that could effectively “poison the user.” Learn more here. |
