Who Is Savage X Fenty and Why Are They Being Sued for Junk Fees?

Savage X Fenty sells lingerie in stores and online, and the complaint says its website bills members $69.95 a month unless they skip. Rihanna founded it in 2018, and the complaint calls it a joint venture with TechStyle Fashion Group, the company behind Fabletics. That checkout is the one at issue.

What Did Savage X Fenty Do to Customers Between April 2, 2025 and Now?

The plaintiffs say it started with tariffs. Between April 2, 2025 and February 20, 2026, they allege, Savage X Fenty added a tariff-related fee late in checkout, called it a tax, and left it out of the advertised price. They say that breaks California’s Consumers Legal Remedies Act and Unfair Competition Law, which ban deceptive and unfair business practices, and they’ve built a false advertising class action around it.

The charge didn’t stop. Jessica Gonzalez says she paid a “Tariff Tax” on April 9, 2026 and again on May 12, 2026, after the Supreme Court struck those tariffs down on February 20, 2026. TechStyle’s Fabletics drew a similar complaint, which we covered in Fabletics Class Action Lawsuit 2026: Unlawful Tariff Charges Explained.

The membership claims are separate. The complaint says Member Credits expire after 12 months, which plaintiffs argue breaks California’s Gift Card Law, the statute that bans expiration dates on gift certificates, and that canceling took repeated phone calls. If you ever paid for a membership month and never spent the credit, that’s the piece to watch.

Are You Part of the Savage X Fenty Junk Fees Lawsuit?

Wondering whether you’re part of the Savage X Fenty lawsuit? The complaint proposes five groups, and a judge could change any of them.

• Customers charged a tariff-related fee between April 2, 2025 and February 20, 2026
• Anyone charged a tariff-related fee after February 20, 2026
• Members whose paid-for Credits expired within the statute of limitations
• People who became or stayed Savage X Rewards Members within that same window
• Online shoppers and members covered by the racketeering (RICO) claim

Who doesn’t qualify: the defendants, their parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, their officers and employees, and the judge and the judge’s family. If you were never charged a tariff-related fee, never held a membership and never bought online, you likely fall outside every group.

Did you shop at Savage X Fenty, in a store or online, and spot a “tax” you didn’t expect? Then this case is about you.

Savage X Fenty Customers Outside California — Are You Still Covered?

The case is in federal court and seeks statewide or nationwide relief. The named plaintiffs live in Illinois, New York, Ohio and California. Whether a judge applies California law to buyers elsewhere is a question the court hasn’t answered.

What Are Savage X Fenty Customers Asking the Court to Award?

Plaintiffs want the tariff-related fees back, the value of expired Credits, and a court order changing these practices. They also ask for a ruling that you shouldn’t have to wait for the company’s own federal tariff refund. That last one matters.

The complaint says the amount in dispute exceeds $5,000,000, which is the minimum federal class action jurisdiction requires. That’s a court threshold, not a payout.

The plaintiffs’ own charges are small. Ebonie Maxwell says a $59.95 Member Credit covered her order from about August 2, 2025, yet she still paid $10.96 in “Tax (Sales)” and “Import Tax,” including $5.26 for the import charge. Gonzalez says she paid $7.00 and $13.25.

No money yet. No claim form yet.

This isn’t the brand’s first California fight. In 2022, Savage X Fenty agreed to pay $1,200,000 to end a suit by district attorneys and the Santa Monica City Attorney, including $150,000 in restitution for California VIP members. Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Deng said consumers have “a right to know up front what they are paying for.”

The 2022 restitution reached only California VIP members, while this complaint asks for statewide or nationwide relief. That’s a much bigger circle.

What Could Savage X Fenty Customers Receive If This Settles?

Nobody can predict that yet. It depends on how many people claim, what the evidence shows, and what the two sides negotiate. A consumer rights lawyer can explain where your own charges would fit.

What Should Savage X Fenty Customers Do Right Now?

1. Relax. Most people are included automatically if a class is certified. You don’t sign up for anything today.
2. Save your paper trail. Keep order confirmations, receipts showing “Import Tax” or “Tariff Tax,” membership charge emails, screenshots of your Credit balance, and any cancellation confirmation. Hidden checkout fee cases like ThredUp Handling Fee Class Action, What Buyers Need To Know turn on the same receipts.
3. Add up what you paid. Total the tariff-related charges since April 2, 2025 and note any Credits that vanished.
4. Skip the lead plaintiff worry. That deadline comes from securities law, and this isn’t a securities case. The four named plaintiffs already ask to represent the classes.
5. Watch the docket. Search the Central District of California, No. 2:26-cv-06670, on PACER.
6. Know your solo option. If a class is certified, you’ll likely get notice and a choice to stay in or opt out. For how auto-renewal claims tend to play out, see Costco Membership Auto-Renewal Class Action Lawsuit 2026.

It’s been 97 days since the complaint was filed, and the docket is the only place the next step will show up.

Savage X Fenty Junk Fees — Frequently Asked Questions, No. 2:26-cv-06670

Is there a class action lawsuit against Savage X Fenty for junk fees right now?

Yes. Four customers filed a proposed class action in the Central District of California on June 19, 2026, naming Lavender Lingerie, Savage X, Savage X GC and TechStyle Fashion Group. No class has been certified, and nothing in the complaint is proven.

Do I need to do anything right now to be part of the Savage X Fenty lawsuit?

No. There’s no claim form, and the complaint says class members can be identified from Savage X Fenty’s own records. Save your receipts and Credit screenshots, though, because they’ll matter if a class is certified.

When will the Savage X Fenty junk fees case settle?

Nobody knows. No settlement has been reported. One thing to watch: plaintiffs say they’ll send a CLRA demand letter, and if the company doesn’t fix things within 30 days, they’ll amend to seek punitive and statutory damages.

Can I file my own lawsuit against Savage X Fenty instead of joining the class?

Yes. But the complaint argues each customer’s loss is too small to justify suing alone, which is its reason for seeking class treatment. A consumer rights lawyer can tell you whether your own charges are worth pursuing.

How will I find out if the Savage X Fenty lawsuit settles?

The court would order notice if a class is certified or a settlement is reached. The complaint says notice could come by U.S. mail, email, internet postings or published notice. We’ll update this page when the docket moves.

What does “lead plaintiff” mean for the Savage X Fenty case and why does the deadline matter?

“Lead plaintiff” is a securities-case term, so no such deadline applies here. Instead, four named plaintiffs, Ebonie Maxwell, Jessica Gonzalez, Yentle Potts and Chaka Theus, of Illinois, New York, Ohio and California, ask to represent the proposed classes.

What specific laws does Savage X Fenty allegedly violate?

The complaint cites California’s Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Unfair Competition Law and Gift Card Law (Civil Code § 1749.5), plus automatic renewal rules, racketeering law, unjust enrichment and conversion. Savage X Fenty hasn’t been found liable under any of them.

How much could Savage X Fenty customers get if this case settles?

That can’t be known. No lawsuit settlement check is on the table, and the $5,000,000 in the complaint is a court threshold. The plaintiffs’ own charges, $10.96, $7.00 and $13.25, show the scale of individual fees, not a payout.
