Incidents
Weighted groceries settlement
In 2022 a class action lawsuit was filed against Walmart in Florida mainly alledging that Walmart falsely inflated product weight, mislabeled weight of bagged produce and overcharged for sold-by-weight clearance products.[1] While Walmart denies any wrongdoing they agreed to pay $45 million to settle the case in 2024.[2]
One-click sign up to paid service
When using the Walmart app on an iPhone or iPad, a large popup covering about 90% of the screen appears. It has a very large one-click signup button for Walmart+ with only a small 'x' in the corner to close the popup and return to the main app.
Refusal to refund older bricked Onn devices (2025)
In June 2025, Walmart began updating their Onn streaming devices from Android 10 and 12 to 14. After the first attempt at the updates bricked older devices from 2021, Walmart's Onn customer support refused to grant refunds or replacements for devices over the one year manufacturer's warranty.
