If you were in California and purchased certain Bedding Products from Williams-Sonoma, Inc. from January 19, 2007 to the present, a class action lawsuit may affect your rights.

A class action lawsuit known as Rushing, et al. v. Williams-Sonoma, Inc., et al., Case No. 16-cv-01421-WHO is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Williams-Sonoma, Inc., Williams-Sonoma DTC, Inc., and Williams-Sonoma Advertising, Inc. (together, “Williams-Sonoma” or “Defendants”). Williams-Sonoma includes the following brands: Williams-Sonoma, Williams-Sonoma Home, and Pottery Barn. The lawsuit alleges that the Defendants advertise and market the thread count in certain Bedding Products in a way that is false, deceptive, or misleading to reasonable consumers.

The class includes all persons who, while in California from January 19, 2007 to the present purchased sheet sets, pillowcases, duvet covers, and/or shams, directly from Williams-Sonoma, Inc. from any following bedding lines: (1) Williams-Sonoma Home Signature 600-Thread-Count Sateen Bedding (n/k/a Chambers 600TC Sateen Bedding); (2) Williams-Sonoma Home Greek Key Jacquard 600-Thread-Count Bedding; (3) Williams-Sonoma Home Suzani Jacquard Bedding (500 TC); (4) Pottery Barn Foundations Hotel Sateen Bedding (600 TC); (5) Pottery Barn Morgan 400-Thread-Count Bedding; (6) Pottery Barn PB Organic 400-Thread-Count Bedding; and (7) Pottery Barn PB Classic 400-Thread-Count Bedding. If you did not purchase sheets, sheet sets, pillowcases, duvet covers, and/or shams from these specific bedding lines while in California between January 19, 2007 to the present, you are not a member of the class.

The Court has not decided who is right or wrong. There is no money available now, and no guarantee there will be. However, if you are a member of the class described above, your legal rights are affected, and you have a choice to make now
