During Trump's trade war with China, companies like Logitech increased product prices by up to 25% due to tariffs reaching 145%. The US Supreme Court later ruled these tariffs illegal, ordering manufacturers to receive refunds. However, consumers who paid higher prices are not seeing refunds.

CPM, a law firm, has filed a class action lawsuit against Logitech seeking refunds for customers who purchased products during the tariff period. Millions bought items like mice, keyboards, and webcams at inflated prices.

The logistics of issuing refunds are complex, requiring identification of purchases across third-party resellers. If successful, the case could set an important precedent, though individual consumer payouts are typically minimal.

The core issue remains: companies collected extra payments from consumers, received government refunds, but kept the difference rather than passing savings to customers.
