Eligible Americans can receive a one-time payment after cosmetics retailer Sephora agrees to pay more than $1.77 million.
Customers can now receive cash after the company reached a settlement after plaintiffs accused Sephora of imposing higher state taxes on some purchases in Missouri.
Those who have been wronged will be paid directly based on the amount of tax charged on their Sephora purchase.
Please note that payments may vary depending on the total amount initially charged and the number of applicants.
The opt-out or objection deadline is February 16, 2023, with a final approval hearing scheduled for April 27, 2023.
Sephora denies wrongdoing, but agrees to pay.
