Lawyers in Union were recently involved in the defense of Union-based company Bed, Bath, & Beyond. A lawsuit filed against the company alleged that the retailer had incorrectly inflated the thread count of bedding and linens by basing the counts on twisted threads in two-ply fabrics, a practice that is against industry standards. Plaintiffs claim the false higher thread counts resulted in artificially inflated prices at retail outlets. The lawsuit settled in 2008; the retailer did not admit to wrongdoing, but agreed to pay a total of $475,000 in attorney’s fees and offer a refund to customers who bought bedding between August 2000 and Nov. 2007.
