The litigation is ongoing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>Customer refunds and discounts<\/h2>\n<p>The proposed order requires Family Dollar to establish a $40 million fund to compensate eligible customers.<\/p>\n<p>The retailer will notify customers of their eligibility for reimbursement through in-store notices and online. Eligible customers include anyone who made a purchase at a Family Dollar store from Jan. 1, 2023, to Oct. 1, 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/chicago\/news\/ililnois-family-dollar-lawsuit-settlement-prices\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">order also establishes<\/a><\/span> a separate $20 million discount program for customers. Under the program, Family Dollar must offer customers 15% off a range of goods for two days. State plaintiffs will receive $3 million to be divided among them.<\/p>\n<p>The retailer must create a pricing accuracy program to ensure that it regularly monitors and verifies prices and trains employees to identify and correct pricing discrepancies. \u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p class=\"content__meta--editors\">\n      Edited by<\/p>\n<p>
