A proposed class-action lawsuit alleges The Gap and Old Navy are misleading shoppers by offering time-limited steep discounts on items sold online when they rarely, if ever, sell that clothing at regular prices.

The popular clothing stores offer the discount to “entice Canadians to purchase” products, the lawsuit alleges.

The lawsuit alleges the retailers present a “false and misleading” price at which the products are regularly sold and therefore the sale price is “illusory”.
