ATTN TEXANS: Check If You’re Part of This $45 Million Walmart Class Action Lawsuit

There are plenty of us who do a lot of our shopping at a Walmart in Dallas, Houston, or in Tyler, Texas. It could be for clothes. It could be for electronics. It could even be for our weekly stock-up on groceries.

Recently, a class-action lawsuit was brought against Walmart in regards to how produce or meats were weighed when checked out. Due to inaccuracies in those measurements, you could be owed some money from that lawsuit. The thing is, time is running out to make your claim.

Class-Action Lawsuit

A class-action lawsuit was brought against Walmart saying that they deceived customers in the pricing of weighted goods such as different poultry, meat, pork, seafood or certain citrus products. The lawsuit also claims that Walmart falsely inflated the weight of certain products. The lawsuit also claims Walmart didn't charge the correct amount for clearance items that needed to be weighed.
