|

|
WHAT IS THIS CASE ABOUT? |
|---|
|
A proposed settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Ross Stores, Inc. The lawsuit claims that the thread
count on cotton/polyester sheets imported and supplied by AQ Textiles, LLC and sold by Ross was false or deceptive. Ross
stands by its advertising and denies it did anything wrong. The Court has not decided which side is right. Instead, the parties
have decided to settle this case.
