Canadians have a limited time to submit a claim for a class-action settlement against Dollarama. The lawsuit alleged that Dollarama incorrectly displayed the total price of products subject to environmental handling fees (EHFs). Eligible shoppers can receive between $3 and $10 depending on the number of claimants. The deadline to submit a claim is approaching quickly.
Law firm LPC Avocats filed a class action lawsuit against the Quebec-based retail chain, alleging that Dollarama failed to correctly display the total price of products subject to environmental handling fees . These fees apply to items such as batteries, electronic products, lightbulbs, or toys with batteries.
A release from the law firm states, "The Plaintiff essentially alleged, among other things, that Dollarama did not properly advertise the price of products subject to EHFs it offered for sale and that it charged a total price or EHFs higher than displayed for these products or allowed by law.
For Quebec shoppers, purchases need to have been made between December 11, 2019, and July 4, 2023. For others elsewhere in Canada, purchases need to have been made between April 29, 2021, and July 4, 2023.If eligible, you could receive between $3 and $10, depending on the total number of approved claimants. Regardless of the number of products subject to EHFs you've purchased, you'll only be eligible for a single claim.
