Haney v Costa Del Mar Inc.

A class action lawsuit known as Haney v. Costa Del Mar Inc., Case No. 16-2017-CA-004794-XXXX-MA is pending in the Circuit Court, Fourth Judicial Circuit, in and for Duval County, Florida against Costa Del Mar, Inc. (“Costa”). The lawsuit claims that: (i) Costa’s promise to repair sunglasses for a “nominal fee” was false, unfair, deceptive, and likely to mislead a reasonable consumer; and (ii) Costa breached the “nominal fee” warranty when it charged consumers more than a nominal fee to repair sunglasses damaged by accident, normal wear and tear, or misuse.

The class includes: All citizens of the State of Florida who: (i) between July 28, 2013, and January 31, 2018, purchased nonprescription, non-promotional Costa sunglasses for personal use or (ii) were charged a fee by Costa to replace damaged components of their nonprescription, non-promotional Costa sunglasses between July 28, 2012, and the present date (for sunglasses purchased before January 31, 2018).

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.
