PITTSBURGH – For the third time, counsel for Dollar General and Aldi argue that allegations brought against them and other retailers which said they unlawfully charged sales taxes on the purchases of face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic are unsupported, and should be dismissed.
Joshua James of Freeport (and on behalf of all others similarly situated) first filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on Nov. 12.
(The case was later removed to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania on Feb. 11.)
The lawsuit took aim at many different retailers, including Marshall’s, Forever 21, Sally Beauty Supply, Dry Goods, Amazon, Zazzle, Etsy, Brave New Look, Outdoor Research, Aldi, Dollar General and eBay.
