Retail Customers File Class-Action Tariff Lawsuits Against FedEx and Ray-Bans Maker

At least two groups of retail customers have filed proposed class-action lawsuits against FedEx and the maker of Ray-Ban sunglasses, seeking refunds for tariff costs that were passed through to consumers — costs that the Supreme Court ruled were imposed without legal authority. The consumer lawsuits add a new dimension to the tariff fallout: not only are major corporations suing the government for refunds, but individual Americans are now suing the companies that charged them higher prices based on the unlawful tariffs. The cascading legal chain — government charged companies, companies charged consumers, Court struck down tariffs, now everyone sues everyone — could result in billions of dollars in refunds flowing through the economy.
