Sony Is Being Sued For Allegedly Retaining ‘Substantial Windfall’ Generated By ‘Illegal’ Tariffs

A proposed nationwide class action accuses Sony of keeping tariff refunds tied to PlayStation price hikes.

The plaintiffs say Sony raised console prices to offset IEEPA tariffs and may now receive refunds from U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

They argue that would amount to a double recovery and that consumers should get the money instead.

The case, filed in California, could shape how companies handle refunds linked to unlawful import duties.
