Nintendo fights tariff-refund claim, arguing customers paid the posted price for Switch products
Nintendo asks a federal court to dismiss a class-action seeking tariff refunds, arguing that customers who bought Switch consoles voluntarily paid the advertised prices and have no entitlement to government tariff refunds. The plaintiffs allege unjust enrichment and unfair practices from price hikes tied to tariffs and Nintendo’s retention of refunds. Nintendo contends the doctrine of unjust enrichment doesn’t apply to completed sales and notes ongoing refund processes after a Supreme Court ruling voided tariffs, with similar suits against Sony and Microsoft and potential arbitration for some claims.
