NEWARK, N.J. AP – A New Jersey man is taking on athletic apparel giant Foot Locker over the store’s gift card policies, charging in court papers that they violate New Jersey’s consumer laws.
In a lawsuit filed in late August in Middlesex County, Sayreville resident Joseph Vona claims that Foot Locker’s use of so-called dormancy fees – a small fee charged to the gift card if it hasn’t been used for a period of time – are contrary to a state law passed in 2006 under the auspices of the Consumer Fraud Act.
