Quebec-based Dollarama has agreed to a $2.5 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit that will see eligible customers receive a $15 digital gift card.
The lawsuit relates to an environment handling fee (EHF) that the plaintiffs said was included in the price of certain products without customers’ knowledge. EHFs were charged for items like batteries, lightbulbs, and toys with batteries, but were not included in the advertised price of the item, a Quebec plaintiff said when initiating the lawsuit.
