Dollarama has agreed to pay a class-action settlement of $2.5-million due to incorrect price displays.
The lawsuit, which was filed in May 2023, claimed that products, such as batteries, with an “environmental handling fee” didn’t include those fees in advertised prices, making the total higher than what was displayed.
Anyone who purchased a product subject to an Ecofee (for example batteries, electronic products, light bulbs, or toys with batteries) from Dollarama in Québec between December 11, 2019 and July 4, 2023, or elsewhere in Canada between May 29, 2021 and July 4, 2023 (including Winnipeg), is a member of this class action and is eligible to claim a gift card.
How Much Will The Class-Action Gift Card Be?
Each eligible person will get a Gift Card with a maximum value of $15 that can be redeemed in any Dollarama store in Canada.
The value of each Gift Card may be less than $15 depending on the total number of eligible claimants. In order to receive a Gift card, each eligible person must provide a valid e-mail address.
