Logitech has been hit with a lawsuit in a California district court accusing the peripherals maker of pocketing tariff refunds instead of passing the savings on to customers who paid inflated prices. The case follows a US Supreme Court ruling in February 2026 that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) did not actually give the president authority to impose the tariffs, prompting an order in July 2026 for US Customs and Border Protection to refund the duties—though those refunds go to importers rather than the shoppers who bore the higher costs.

According to the 102-page complaint, Logitech raised US retail prices on roughly half its product catalogue by around 14 percent on average, and by as much as 25 percent on some items, in response to the tariffs. The filing alleges that despite receiving a full $61 million refund by 30 June 2026, Logitech booked the entire sum as a reduction in cost of goods sold rather than returning it to customers, and kept retail prices unchanged. Logitech has not yet responded to requests for comment, and the case echoes similar disputes involving Microsoft's Xbox and Nintendo, the latter of which has argued in a motion to dismiss that customers have no legal entitlement to such refunds.
