| CARMAX AUTO SUPERSTORES, INC.source ↗ filed by LAW OFFICES OF ROBERT P. COCCO PC · Judge Gerald John Pappert · No. 2:26-cv-06987 · 28:1332 Diversity-Notice of Removal · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $190M–$740M ▾Comparable consumer-fraud rulings split: Cetorelli affirmed CSPA deceptive-practice liability and treble damages, while Citizens of Humanity and Guthrie show labeling/advertising claims often fail at class-cert or merits stage absent uniform reliance proof. Comparable settlements $190M–$740M median $299.50M · n=10 DiDi Global Inc. $740M · Merck & Co. Inc. a $688M · Western Union $586M Comparable verdict: Papaya $420M · Vital Pharmaceutical $293M Key precedent: Cetorelli v. Duell Action Builders — shows deceptive-advertising claims can survive and yield treble damages/fees when misrepresentation is concrete and provable. Main risk: Class certification denial due to individualized reliance/communication issues, as in Guthrie v. Transamerica. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $2.50M–$200M No CarMax-specific precedent or settlement data exists; estimate relies on loosely analogous consumer-protection rulings and broad company-size proxies, so figures are highly uncertain. · grounded in 10 rulings, 10 settlements, 9 verdicts | Filing | False Advertising | E.D.
