Dollarama Settlement Claim Form
The lawsuit was filed on Dollarama in May 2023 over the price charged and advertised by the company for products subjected to Environmental Handling Fees (EHFs) sold in Canada. The products include batteries, light bulbs, electronic gadgets or products, or toys powered by batteries.
The plaintiff claimed that Dollarama did not include such EHF fees in the advertised prices, which led to the total being higher than what was displayed.
The company denies such claims and does not accept such wrongdoings in court and they have proposed for the national settlement in the class-action lawsuit.
