Toy giant Hasbro has filed a lawsuit demanding refunds on tariffs paid during former President Trump's trade measures, which the Supreme Court recently declared illegal. The company joins over 2,000 other businesses seeking compensation with interest from the federal government.
The maker of Play-Doh and other popular toys has entered the legal battle against the federal government, demanding money back from tariffs collected during Donald Trump’s presidency that were recently ruled unconstitutional by the nation’s highest court.
Hasbro filed its legal claim on Friday, becoming part of a massive wave of more than 2,000 companies pursuing similar lawsuits in the U.S. Court of International Trade since April. The toy manufacturer is seeking complete reimbursement plus interest for payments made under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, though the company has not revealed the total amount involved.
The legal action follows last week’s Supreme Court decision that invalidated these emergency trade policies. Since that ruling, major corporations have rushed to file claims, including cosmetics giant L’Oreal, vacuum cleaner company Dyson, and eye care manufacturer Bausch + Lomb, all of which submitted their cases on Monday. Ty Inc., the company behind Beanie Babies, also entered a similar claim this week.
Legal representation for Hasbro comes from Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg, the same firm handling cases for Swiss athletic wear brand On and personal care company Conair in their respective tariff disputes. When contacted for additional details, Hasbro representatives had not provided a response.
