HP Inc. has reached a $4 million settlement due to allegations of false advertising regarding computer and peripheral pricing. A class-action complaint filed in October 2021 accused HP of displaying misleading original prices on its website. The settlement fund is designated for claims by class members, administrative costs, and attorney fees. Eligible customers who bought certain discounted HP products between June 5, 2021, and October 28, 2024, can receive compensation ranging from $10 to $100 based on their purchases.
Earlier this month, Judge P. Casey Pitts for the US District Court of the San Jose Division of the Northern District of California granted preliminary approval of a settlement agreement regarding a class-action complaint first filed against HP on October 13, 2021. The complaint accused HP's website of showing "misleading" original pricing for various computers, mice, and keyboards that was higher than how the products were recently and typically priced.
The two plaintiffs who filed the initial complaint may also file a motion to receive a settlement class representative service award for up to $5,000 each, which would come out of the $4 million pool.
People who purchased a discounted HP desktop, laptop, mouse, or keyboard that was on sale for "more than 75 percent of the time the products were offered for sale" from June 5, 2021, to October 28, 2024, are eligible for compensation.
Per the settlement agreement, HP will contribute $4 million to a "non-reversionary common fund, which shall be used to pay the (i) Settlement Class members' claims; (ii) court-approved Notice and Settlement Administration Costs...".
