Newegg

A reported 2026 plaintiff-firm mass-arbitration solicitation (not a filed case; not independently retrieved) over website tracking technologies - the same posture as Lowe's, and the pairing is instructive. Two very different retailers, the same alleged conduct, the same procedural response, and the response exists because arbitration clauses successfully removed the class action as a remedy. For consumers the practical takeaway is that arbitration clauses do not eliminate liability; they change its shape, and the new shape is slower, more expensive to administer and far less visible to the public than a class action would have been.

Arbitration

SEPARATE, LONG-RUNNING DECEPTIVE-ADVERTISING CASE (per Newegg's Form 20-F filings): in December 2014 an individual plaintiff sued Newegg.com Americas in Los Angeles County Superior Court alleging deceptive advertising practices and seeking class certification; the trial court sustained a demurrer in 2016, an appellate court reversed in July 2018, and Newegg Inc. was later added as a defendant; on September 18, 2023 the trial court granted Newegg's motion to dismiss for failure to prosecute - nearly nine years after filing, and without a ruling on the merits.
