Nintendo faces a class action lawsuit in Washington alleging it unfairly kept tariff refunds while customers paid higher prices during the 2025 tariff period. Plaintiffs Gregory Hoffert and Prashant Sharan argue Nintendo raised prices on consoles and accessories, then sought government reimbursements after tariffs were struck down in February 2026, creating a “double recovery.” Examples include the Switch 2 Pro Controller rising to $84.99. The suit claims violations of consumer protection law and seeks restitution for buyers between February 2025–February 2026. Similar cases target Costco, FedEx, and Lululemon, raising broader questions about refund fairness.
