This $6 million Arhaus settlement resolved claims over allegedly misleading reference prices on Arhaus.com. The December 19, 2025 claim deadline has passed, so no new claims can be filed.
What Is the Arhaus Settlement About?
Arhaus, Inc. agreed to pay $6 million to resolve a class action over reference prices displayed next to sale prices on Arhaus.com. The lawsuit alleged that the higher reference prices made the advertised discounts appear larger than they were, in violation of California consumer-protection laws.Arhaus denied wrongdoing. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the cost and uncertainty of continued litigation, and the court granted preliminary approval on August 25, 2025. The deadline to file a claim, request exclusion, or object was December 19, 2025.
Who Qualified?
The settlement covered California residents who bought one or more products on Arhaus.com between April 2, 2020 and September 18, 2024 when the product listing displayed a sale price and a second, higher reference price, with or without a strikethrough. Buyers who had already received a refund or credit for the purchase were excluded.The settlement applied to online purchases made from California. It did not cover every Arhaus customer nationwide or purchases made outside the settlement class definition.

What Benefits Were Available?
Eligible claimants could choose either a store credit gift card or a cash payment of equal value. Payments were calculated pro rata from the net settlement fund according to each claimant's qualifying purchase total compared with the combined qualifying purchase total of all approved claimants.No claimant could receive more than 50% of their qualifying purchase total. The final individual amount therefore depended on the number and value of valid claims rather than a fixed advertised payment.
How Did the Claim Process Work?
Class members could file online through the official settlement website or submit a paper claim form by mail. The online form used a Claim ID and the claimant's last name to verify access. Purchase receipts were not required, and the downloadable paper form allowed claimants to attest under penalty of perjury to a qualifying purchase without entering an administrator-issued ID.The filing period has ended. The official settlement website remains useful for reviewing the notice and case documents, but it should not be treated as an active claim portal.

When Will Payments Be Sent?
The settlement agreement tied distribution to final approval, completion of claims administration, and the resolution of any appeals. Because the official website has not posted a final approval order or payment notice, a reliable payment date is not currently available.Valid claimants should rely on notices from the settlement administrator and updates posted to the official website. OpenClassActions.com does not process claims or control payment timing.

Current examples include the Albany Park $115 discount settlement, the Leesa, Helix, Bear & Brooklyn Bedding mattress settlement, and the Shein fake-discount pricing lawsuit. The Shein case remains at the complaint stage and is not a settlement claim.Frequently Asked Questions
