The Court Granted Final Approval on October 21, 2022.



If you purchased merchandise from any U.S. Polo Association Outlet store in California, you may be eligible to receive an award usable for future purchases.


What is this Lawsuit About?

    Plaintiff Irina Zhuravleva (the “Representative Plaintiff”) filed a lawsuit against U.S. Polo Assn. on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated. The lawsuit alleges that U.S. Polo Assn. engaged in deceptive advertising by advertising false reference prices on merchandise in U.S. Polo Assn. outlet stores in California.

    U.S. Polo Assn. denies each and every one of the allegations of unlawful conduct, any wrongdoing, and any liability whatsoever, and no court or other entity has made any judgment or other determination of any liability. U.S. Polo Assn. further denies that any Class Member is entitled to any relief and, other than for settlement purposes, that this Action is appropriate for certification as a class action.

    The issuance of the Notice is not an expression of the Court’s opinion on the merits or the lack of merits of the Representative Plaintiff’s claims in the Action.

How do I know if I am part of the Settlement?

    You are a Class Member if, during the period of time beginning July 12, 2015 through June 24, 2022, you purchased merchandise at any U.S. Polo Assn. Outlet Store located in the State of California, and did not receive a refund or credit for their purchase(s).

What relief does the Settlement provide to Settlement Class Members?

    U.S. Polo Assn. has agreed to automatically provide each Class Member who received direct notice of this Settlement via email or postcard and does not timely request exclusion from the Settlement, or who timely and validly completes and submits a Claim Form with one (1) Merchandise Certificate which, at the Class Member’s election, may be applied for: (1) 10% off a merchandise purchase where no minimum purchase is required but with the discount applied only to the first $100 of merchandise; or (2) $5 off a merchandise purchase with no minimum purchase required. The Merchandise Certificate can be used on any purchase in a U.S. Polo Assn. outlet store in California or the U.S. Polo online store at www.uspoloassn.com.
