Logitech hit by sueball over tariff refunds

Logitech faces a lawsuit in California for allegedly withholding $61M in tariff refunds from customers, according to a 102-page complaint. The company raised prices by up to 25% in 2025 due to tariffs, which were later ruled invalid by the Supreme Court. The complaint claims Logitech kept the refunds, recording them as a cost reduction in Q1 FY2027, and has not lowered prices. Logitech has not yet commented.
