Edelson Lechtzin LLP Is Investigating Richemont (Compagnie Financière Richemont S.A.) Over Tariff-Driven Price Increases That Were Not Refunded to Consumers After the Supreme Court Struck Down the Tariffs

Edelson Lechtzin LLP is investigating potential class action lawsuits against Richemont (Compagnie Financière Richemont S.A.), the parent company of numerous luxury brands. The investigation is examining whether Richemont raised the retail prices of its luxury products − sold under the brands listed below − to offset the Trump administration’s tariffs and then failed to refund customers after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled those tariffs unlawful.

Richemont Brands Covered by the Investigation

The investigation covers products sold under Richemont’s complete brand roster, including:

Background: The Supreme Court Invalidated the Tariffs

On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States held that the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), 50 U.S.C. § 1701 et seq., were unlawful, and it invalidated the tariff orders issued under that statute.

Beginning in early 2025, the federal government imposed sweeping tariffs on imported goods under the purported authority of the IEEPA, sharply increasing the cost of importing consumer products into the United States. Many companies responded by raising the retail prices their customers paid, passing the tariff costs through to consumers.

Why This Matters

Now that the tariffs are gone, companies that paid them can ask the government for the money back.

That means a company that raised its prices to cover the tariffs could end up collecting twice, keeping the higher prices customers already paid and getting the tariff money back from the government. Meanwhile, the customers who paid more get nothing.

Edelson Lechtzin LLP is investigating whether Richemont raised prices to cover the tariffs, has not refunded that money to customers, and now stands to recover the same tariffs from the government.
