A proposed class action lawsuit against Logitech is attempting to recover funds that were allegedly “extracted from American consumers” as a result of the Trump administration’s tariffs.
The complaint [PDF] is being led by a construction company, SJK Development, and a California resident, both of whom say they bought Logitech mice at higher, tariff-affected prices. It was filed with the US District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose Division last week (via Ars Technica).
“This case is an example of a large multinational corporation and its US subsidiary taking advantage of its customers who rely on the integrity of manufacturers to sell products to customers in good faith,” the complaint alleges.

“[The defendant] refused to be honest with their customers by raising prices across their product catalog to allegedly account for costs due to tariffs and then failed to return tariff proceeds when the US Supreme Court declared those tariffs unlawful.”
While Logitech did not publicly announce price hikes, the complaint makes mention of the company’s executives discussing higher prices and profits in regards to offsetting tariffs in its subsequent earnings calls.
“The company’s CFO, Mr. Anversa, attributed the company’s expanded gross margins—up approximately 130 basis points year-over-year in the fourth quarter—in part to Logitech’s United States subsidiary’s pricing actions executed in April 2025.” the filing says.
“Mr. Anversa stated that those pricing actions, together with favorable currency movements, more than offset tariffs and promotions.”
The Trump administration’s IEEPA tariffs were ruled against by the US Supreme Court in February of this year, after it found that the US president did not have the authority to impose them. Since then, Logitech has received a sum of $61 million as part of the refund process. The lawsuit is aiming for a judgement which would force Logitech to give customers a share of the proceeds.
“Logitech has been—and absent relief will continue to be— enriched twice over at its customers’ expense,” the filing continues. “Once by the tariff-justified overcharges collected from Plaintiffs and the Class, and again by the government’s refund, with interest, of the very duties those overcharges were represented to cover.”
Several other tech companies, including Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft, have been on the receiving end of similar legal actions related to tariff refunds. Earlier this month, PC cooling company Arctic announced that it would be rolling back prices on its components for US customers, after receiving a refund of its own.
I have reached out to Logitech for comment, and will update this article if any is received. In the meantime, however, I doubt this will be the last proposed class action suit regarding tariff-inflated pricing. Whatever the outcomes, it’ll likely be some time before any major resolution comes to pass.
