If you shopped at Ikea between Oct. 2017 and Dec. 2019, the retailer may owe you money.
WASHINGTON — Customers who shopped at Ikea between Oct. 18, 2017 and Dec. 31, 2019, can now apply for their share of a $24 million settlement.
The settlement is the result of a lawsuit against the Swedish company, claiming it violated the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act by printing receipts in its U.S. stores that included more than the last 5 digits of customers' debit or credit card number, according to the class action website.
While Ikea denies the allegations and denies any wrongdoing, it agreed to the settlement, the website notes.
The Swedish company currently has 50 U.S. stores along with two "plan and order points" and several pick-up locations. It recently announced plans to open eight new U.S. stores over the next three years.
Who is eligible for the Ikea settlement?
You are eligible if an Ikea store in the U.S. gave you a receipt for a credit card or debit card transaction that contained more than the last five digits of the card number at any time between Oct. 18, 2017 and Dec. 31, 2019.
