Costco has faced multiple class action lawsuits, including ones regarding hidden delivery fees, membership refunds, flushable wipes, and 401(k) mismanagement, with some resulting in settlements.
Here's a breakdown of some of the notable Costco lawsuits:
1. Hidden Delivery Fees:
Claim:
Costco allegedly misrepresented delivery fees on its website, leading consumers to believe they were receiving free or low-cost delivery when the costs were hidden in product prices.
Status:
A class action lawsuit sought to represent a nationwide class of consumers who were allegedly misled by the company's delivery fee practices.
2. Membership Refunds:
Claim:
Costco allegedly failed to provide full refunds of membership fees to executive members who canceled their memberships, breaching its "Risk-Free" guarantee.
Status:
A class action lawsuit challenged Costco's 100% satisfaction guarantee, claiming it failed to provide full refunds.
3. Flushable Wipes:
Claim:
Costco's Kirkland Signature Moist Flushable Wipes were falsely advertised as flushable, causing damage to pipes, septic systems, and other plumbing.
Status:
Costco settled a class action lawsuit for $2 million, with eligible customers potentially receiving payments.
Settlement Details:
Customers who purchased the wipes between July 1, 2011, and May 31, 2017, may be eligible for a payout.
4. 401(k) Mismanagement:
Claim:
Costco allegedly mismanaged its retirement savings plan, violating the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA).
Status:
A class action lawsuit resulted in a $3.2 million settlement, with Costco retirement savings plan participants potentially eligible to benefit.
5. DEI Policies:
Claim:
Several state attorneys general, led by Iowa and Kansas, called on Costco to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, claiming they were discriminatory.
Status:
Costco has refused to back down from its DEI policies, with shareholders voting against a proposal to review the risks of maintaining them. $COST

$COST appears to be maintaining their programs in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) despite President Trump issuing Executive Order 14151, titled “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing,”

I just wonder how many of them shorted COST before the Filing

Scams never stop!

Gd'eye



Possibly due to tariffs on Chinese goods ?.......Higher prices for 1/4 ? of what the store sells ?

Or......better yet the "explanations" which you've supplied, may constitute a more sound factor

Thanks.


Funny how Target was mentioned there as well.....(do they sell lots of Chinese goods ?)

My puts and I are loving the drop in cost! Great stores, but hideously over valued, even @ a 55 P/E!

Buy what you buy sometimes makes sense/ Liking this rise

DEI is illegal race-based discrimination in violation of the federal Civil Rights Act. A judge cannot nullify the Civil Rights Acts and order the government to award federal taxpayer dollars to organizations that discriminate based on race. https://t.co/j4tHkYPOd8— Stephen Miller (@StephenM) February 22, 2025 $COST
