Kanye West’s Yeezy brand sued over alleged shipping delays

LA Times  

Kanye West’s Yeezy clothing line is coveted by fans who love its drapey fits and modern silhouettes. The lawsuit alleges that the musician’s Yeezy Apparel and Yeezy companies violated a section of state business code that requires items sold over the internet to be shipped within 30 days — and if they aren’t, the merchant must provide a refund, or pursue another of several prescribed remedies, including issuing a delay notice. The district attorneys alleged in their complaint that West’s businesses failed to give customers adequate delay notices on items than hadn’t shipped within 30 days; these messages are required by the state to detail the expected length of the delay and offer a refund upon request. Among other claimed violations of the business code, the complaint also alleged that Yeezy Apparel and Yeezy made untrue or misleading statements about their ability to “ship products within a certain timeframe, particularly where customers paid an additional charge for expedited shipping.” The lawsuit did not provide an exact date when the alleged violations of the state code began. Gascón and the other district attorneys are seeking a judgment that would permanently restrain West’s companies from repeating the alleged practices, as well as fines of as much as $2,500 for each breach of the state business code, along with restitution for affected consumers.
