Macy's CVC Sheets $10.5 Million Class Action Settlement

If you purchased one or more CVC Sheets supplied by AQ Textiles, LLC from a Macy’s store in the United States or Guam, or on www.macys.com between November 8, 2013, and March 24, 2023, you may be eligible to claim a monetary award from a class action settlement.

Macy’s has agreed to pay $10,500,000 to settle a class action lawsuit for allegedly mislabeling the thread count on CVC Sheets.

Who can file a claim?

The settlement class includes individuals who meet the following criteria:

• Purchased one or more CVC Sheets supplied by AQ Textiles, LLC.
• Made the purchase from a Macy’s store in the United States or Guam, or on www.macys.com.
• The purchase occurred between November 8, 2013, and March 24, 2023.

How much can class members get?

Class members can claim different amounts based on their proof of purchase:

• Verified purchasers from Macy’s records can receive $7.50 per unit of CVC Sheets purchased.
• Those with proof of purchase, such as a receipt, can also receive $7.50 per unit.
• Individuals without proof can attest under penalty of perjury to receive $2.50, capped per household.

If the settlement fund is insufficient to cover all claims, the amounts may be reduced on a pro-rata basis. For example, if the total claims exceed the available fund after expenses, each claim may be proportionally reduced.

Is proof required to submit a claim?

No, claimants can attest _under the penalty of perjury_ and file a claim.

Proof is required to claim the full amount. Claimants can provide:

• Receipts or other documentation to verify purchases.
• Attestation under penalty of perjury if no proof is available, for a reduced amount.
