What’s This About?
If you bought select HP products—like laptops, desktops, keyboards, or mice—you could be eligible for a cash payment as part of a $4 million class action settlement involving Hewlett Packard (HP).
This settlement resolves claims that HP listed deceptive discounts and strikethrough prices on its website, potentially tricking customers into spending more or buying items they may not have otherwise purchased. Roughly 288,000 consumers are believed to qualify for a payout.
Who Can File a Claim?
Anyone in the U.S. who purchased HP laptops, desktops, mice, or keyboards between June 5, 2021, and October 28, 2024—if the product was listed as being on sale more than 75% of the time during that period.
How Much Can You Receive?
The cash payout depends on what you bought. If about 15% of eligible people submit claims, expected payments are:
- HP Chromebook Laptop – $5
- Standard HP Laptop/Desktop – $50
- HP Envy or Spectre Models – $100
- HP Mouse or Keyboard – $10
Is Proof Required?
You may be asked to provide a receipt or other proof of purchase, but it’s not always required depending on the product and purchase method.
Why Was the Lawsuit Filed?
The lawsuit accused HP of inflating discounts by showing fake markdowns—for example, using strikethrough prices that made it look like products were regularly priced higher than they really were. These tactics allegedly violated California’s consumer protection laws and led to unfair profits for HP.
