Costa Del Mar Sunglasses Warranty Class Action Settlement
Case Overview
The class action lawsuit alleged that Costa Del Mar violated the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act by charging consumers warranty fees even though the company advertised a "Lifetime Warranty" on its sunglasses. Plaintiffs argued that, under the law, they were entitled to a full warranty for their eyewear.
As part of the resolution, Costa Del Mar agreed to pay $4.095 million. Class members can receive a cash payment that depends on the number of eligible repairs they had on their sunglasses, with those who had more repairs receiving a larger portion of the settlement fund. The deadline for exclusion and objection is stated as October 8, 2026.

Consumers who bought non-prescription Costa sunglasses before January 1, 2016, and paid Costa a warranty fee to repair or replace those sunglasses damaged by a manufacturer’s defect between August 20, 2013, and February 29, 2020.
