Are Your Skechers Go Walk Shoes Improperly Designed? In this issue, we’re taking a look at Skechers Go Walk shoes and an investigation into whether the sneakers are poorly designed to the point that they can cause wearers to trip and fall. From there, two of our latest investigations focus on Opportunity Financial (OppFi) and Dollar General, respectively. Attorneys have reason to believe that those who took out a loan with OppFi may have been charged excessive (and illegal) interest rates and that some of the prices at Dollar General may be higher at the register than what’s listed on the shelf. We’ll round things out with news of a recent Ring security camera settlement facilitated by the FTC and other settlements that you may be able to claim. Keep reading for the latest. - Ty Armstrong, Writer/Community Manager |
| If you tripped or fell while wearing a pair of Skechers Go Walk shoes, was it due to a simple case of clumsiness – or a possible design defect? Attorneys working with ClassAction.org suspect that the very soft soles of the Go Walk shoes may compress beyond industry standards over time. This compression can lead to a decrease in toe clearance – and failure to reach enough clearance while walking can cause a person to trip or fall. If your Skechers Go Walk shoes made you trip or fall (or if you feel like they are unreliable for walking), check out the investigation and share your story with us here. |
Attorneys Believe OppFi Loans Could Be Considered Predatory Allegations have surfaced that OppFi is charging some consumers excessive and unlawful interest rates – reportedly at an APR of up to 160 percent. Specifically, it has been alleged OppFi is engaging in a rent-a-bank scheme, which occurs when a nonbank lender “partners” with a bank so it’s not limited on how much interest it can charge. (While many states set limits on interest rates, exceptions exist for banks that permit them to exceed these caps.) Lawsuits have claimed, however, that these agreements are just an attempt to circumvent the law. So, if you took out a loan from OppFi through its OppLoans program, you may have been illegally overcharged. Learn what you can do about it here. |

| | ~ In Other News ~ | A lawsuit has been filed accusing Dollar General of regularly charging customers more than the advertised shelf price. Specifically, it’s been alleged that there are often discrepancies between the price listed on store shelves or in-store signs and the amount customers are charged at the register. For example, one of the plaintiffs claims he bought milk that had an advertised price of $4.15, yet Dollar General allegedly charged him $4.25. Now, attorneys working with ClassAction.org need more people to come forward to help strengthen the litigation. So, if you live in New York and paid more than the advertised shelf price for a product at Dollar General, share your story here. |
| The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently announced that it would be sending upward of $5.6 million to certain Ring customers as part of a settlement over claims that the Amazon-owned security camera company allowed employees and contractors access to consumers’ private videos. Unlike a typical class action settlement, there is no settlement claim form. Instead, the FTC notified consumers who are eligible for a refund directly via email, and payments will be sent automatically to those consumers via PayPal, with the expected median payment believed to be around $48.
