Did You Purchase Levi’s Products at Prices Allegedly Increased Because of Tariffs?

A proposed class action has been filed against Levi Strauss & Co. (“Levi Strauss”) alleging that consumers paid higher prices for Levi’s-branded products because IEEPA tariff costs were passed through in retail prices and that consumers have not been refunded the alleged tariff-related price premiums.

The lawsuit, Wilson v. Levi Strauss & Co., Case No. 2:26-cv-01904-JTM-MBN, was filed on August 28, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.

What Does the Levi Strauss Class Action Allege?

According to the complaint, Levi Strauss imports products through a global supply chain and incorporated IEEPA tariff-related costs into prices charged to U.S. consumers. The plaintiff alleges that she purchased Levi’s apparel online in February 2026 and would have paid less, or would not have paid the allegedly tariff-inflated price, if those costs had not been passed on.

The complaint further alleges that, after the U.S. Supreme Court held that IEEPA did not authorize the challenged tariffs, Levi Strauss became eligible to seek or receive tariff refunds while retaining the alleged tariff-related price premiums paid by consumers.

This lawsuit is part of a broader developing issue involving tariff-related consumer prices and potential refunds. Learn more about Kehoe Law Firm’s Tariff Refund Class Action Investigation.

Who May Be Affected?

The complaint seeks to represent a proposed nationwide class of persons who purchased goods from Levi Strauss or through its authorized distribution channels, allegedly paid higher prices because of IEEPA tariffs, and have not been refunded the alleged tariff-related price premium. It also seeks a proposed Louisiana subclass.

No class has been certified, and the allegations have not been proven.

What Claims and Relief Are Sought?

The complaint asserts unjust enrichment, enrichment without cause under Louisiana law, and Louisiana consumer-protection claims. It seeks, among other relief, restitution, disgorgement, compensatory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, and interest.
