Fashion Nova's $2.4M Scandal: FTC Uncovers Shocking Review-Suppressing Scheme!

Hold onto your seats because the FTC has just dropped a bombshell! Get ready, Fashionistas: The Federal Trade Commission is swinging down the hammer with over 148,000 refunds totaling nearly $2.4 million against none other than the fashion juggernaut, Fashion Nova! What's the scandal? You won't believe it—they've been accused of burying those not-so-glamorous negative reviews!

If you snagged a deal from Fashion Nova before November 2019, you might've been eligible for a refund—but oops, that window's already closed! The FTC isn't playing around. The fast fashion titan must now put it all on display—every kind of review—good, bad, or ugly. Oh, and did we mention they’re paying a jaw-dropping $4.2 million for this little "misunderstanding"?

Head on over to see the juicy details in this official press release. But that’s not where this high-fashion spectacle ends. Remember that iconic Versace dress? Well, Fashion Nova found itself in hot water over that too! Check out the legal scoop here.

Illinois residents were the luckiest, with more than 25,000 recipients cashing in on these refunds, making Illinois the top spot for payout drama! With a typical refund nudging $16—it's not just chump change.

The FTC lashed out in January 2022, revealing that from late 2015 to 2019, Fashion Nova played favorites with their reviews, showcasing only the glowing four- and five-star ones, while keeping those pesky lower-starred reviews hidden!

Even bigger shockwaves: The FTC's data says this case isn’t just a one-time hit. Fashion Nova had to pony up $9.3 million back in 2020 for other shipping snafus. Sound the alarm—because this means business!

And if that's not enough, the FTC has a word for all businesses—stop the shenanigans. Their message is crystal clear: Don't mess with the reviews, and make sure every customer comment, no matter how low, gets its day in the spotlight. Whether you're cheering or jeering, everything must be treated equally.
