FTC sends second payment to people who bought Hey Dude shoes
The FTC is sending a second round of payments to people who bought shoes from online shoe seller Hey Dude.
According to the FTC’s lawsuit, Hey Dude didn’t tell customers about shipping delays and illegally sent gift cards instead of refunds for out-of-stock items. The FTC also alleged that Hey Dude hid negative product reviews from its website.
As a result of the lawsuit, Hey Dude paid money and were banned from violating the Mail Order Rule and making misrepresentations about customer reviews. The FTC is now using that money to provide refunds to eligible Hey Dude customers.
The FTC first sent payments in August 2024, which resulted in more than $1.4 million in refunds. Because there is still money remaining in the fund, the FTC is sending 27,916 payments totaling more than $386,000 to people who accepted their first payment.
If you get a check, please cash it within 90 days.
If you get a PayPal payment, please accept it within 30 days.
