April White, et al. v. Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. and Synergy, Inc.
Case No. 2:07-CV-00891(PGS)(ES)
Welcome to the Bed Bath & Beyond Thread Count Settlement website.
If you purchased multi-ply sheet sets, pillowcases, down comforters, bedskirts, shams, duvets or down pillows that were labeled as “plied,” “two-ply” or “2-ply” from Bed Bath & Beyond between August 1, 2000 and November 9, 2007, you may have a claim for benefits in a proposed class action settlement. A complete listing of the multi-ply products that are covered by the proposed settlement are contained in the “List of Covered Products” page of this website.
A lawsuit alleges that Bed Bath & Beyond, as well as Synergy Inc., misrepresented the thread count in its two-ply bedding products sold in stores and on its website by stating the number of threads in the warp and filling directions in one square inch of fabric, rather than the number of yarns.
Bed Bath & Beyond and Synergy deny any wrongdoing and believe the signage, labeling and product samples available to their customers at the time of purchase provided their customers with complete and accurate information. The parties have reached a proposed settlement of the lawsuit, which has been preliminarily approved by the Court.
Under the proposed settlement, claimants who timely submit a valid Claim Form indicating they purchased Covered Products between August 1, 2000 and November 9, 2007 are entitled to receive either a refund, a $10 Bed Bath & Beyond gift card, or a 20% discount certificate, depending on the proof of purchase documentation they have retained. In order to receive any of these options, you must submit a valid Claim Form on or before May 13, 2008. If you have purchased Covered Products but do not want to remain part of the class, you must submit a request to opt-out of the settlement postmarked no later than March 21, 2008. If you want to object to the settlement, you must file an objection by April 11, 2008. Instructions for each of these options are described in detail in the Class Notice.
