Background of the Case
Plaintiffs in Moran Lopez et al. v. The Shade Store, LLC, Case No. 25CV49752, allege that The Shade Store’s frequent discounting led customers to pay an inflated “regular” price, violating consumer-protection laws in the six affected states and several common-law claims. The company denies all wrongdoing. To avoid ongoing litigation, both sides agreed to the current settlement, which the Multnomah County (Oregon) Circuit Court must still approve.
