Walmart, Inc. will pay $45 million to settle a class-action lawsuit. The Plaintiffs alleged incorrect charging of customers purchasing meat and produce by weight. The 2022 filing claimed that Walmart apparently overcharged for meat products that were advertised at rollback prices that were not offered at checkout.

Walmart settled the case “to avoid the uncertain outcome of a jury trial and to limit costs of litigation”.  The company denied misleading customers.

According to the settlement, consumers who consider that they may have been overcharged are requested to file claims to receive compensation.  The one absolute in this case is that the lawyers representing the class will have first pick at the proceeds.
