PARTIES, JURISDICTION, AND VENUE

attorneys' fees, and costs.
2. This is a class action lawsuit for deceptive and unfair business practices in
violation of Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, §§ 501.201 et seq. of the Florida
Statutes ("FDUTPA"), as well as claims for declaratory and injunctive relief, equitable relief,

4. Defendant is a Florida corporation with 18 retail furniture stores throughout
Florida.
Filing # 33956334 E-Filed 11/02/2015 03:34:48 PM
5. Venue is proper before this Court under Chapter 47 of the Florida Statutes
because, among other things, (a) Defendant has agents or other representatives in Hillsborough
County, Florida, and (b) Plaintiff's causes of action accrued in Hillsborough County, Florida.
GENERAL ALLEGATIONS
6. Defendant sells household furniture products in the retail market to consumers.
7. Among the products that Defendant sells is furniture manufactured by, among
others, Southern Motion, Inc. ("Southern Motion") that is made from aleather-like substance
called "Bonded Leather."
8. Defendant purchases these Bonded Leather furniture items from Southern Motion
and sells them to Defendant's customers.
9. Defendant has sold thousands of pieces of Bonded Leather furniture manufactured
by Southern Motion ("Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture") to its customers throughout
Florida.
10. At all material times, Defendant was aware that bonded leather is not leather, but is
a synthetic, man-made, processed leather-like substance that contains only small amounts of
leather. Compared to real leather furniture, bonded leather furniture is of significantly lower
quality, lacks durability, can crack, peel, flake, and deteriorate rapidly, and cannot be easily repaired
or reconditioned. Defendant is aware that the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture that it
sells is not leather, but nonetheless markets and represents to the public and its customers that the
Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture is "leather furniture."
11. Plaintiff visited Defendant's retail store located at 6222 North Dale Mabry
Highway, Tampa, Florida (the "Store") to purchase furniture.
12. Plaintiff purchased two items of living room furniture from Defendant, a reclining
sofa and a power console ("Plaintiff's Furniture"). Plaintiffls Furniture was Southern Motion
Bonded Leather Furniture.
13. Defendant marketed and represented to Plaintiff that Plaintiff's Furniture was
"leather furniture."
14. Plaintiff paid a total of $2,239.97 for Plaintiffs Furniture by making a $239.99
deposit and financing the remaining $1,999.98. A complete, accurate, and authentic copy of
Sales Order #0520116XY91 reflecting the purchase and financing of Plaintiff's Furniture (the
"Sales Order") is attached as Exhibit 1.
15. Plaintiffs Furniture and all Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture were
covered by a "Lifetime Warranty," described in a brochure provided at the time of the purchase
of Plaintiff's Furniture (the "Brochure"), a complete, accurate, and authentic copy of which is
attached as Exhibit 2. This Lifetime Warranty states as follows:
Lifetime WarrantyKane's Furniture is guaranteed to last a lifetime. Our buyers select the finestquality furniture and ensure that it is built to pass our high quality testing. We'reso confident our furniture will last, we back it with our lifetime warranty atno additional cost. When you purchase from Kane's, you know you're buyingthe best in home furnishings.
Brochure at p. 1 (emphasis supplied). The Brochure further provided as follows regardingleather furniture:
LeatherEach piece of quality leather furniture is made up of many hides, each of whichhas individual characteristics such as lines, stripes, wrinkles, scars or shadingwhich add to the beauty of this nature product.• Leather Protection: Conditions and protects your investment against crackingand discoloration.
Brochure at p. 2 (emphasis supplied).
3
16. The Sales Order provides a disclaimer regarding the "Lifetime Warranty"
described in the Brochure:
Lifetime Warranty Disclaimer: Kane's warranties apply to new Kane's furniture(excluding bedding) and apply only to You. Subject to all the terms containedherein, Kane's will repair a defect in the particular piece of furniture coveredby this warranty. In the event of a defect covered by the terms of this warranty,You should contact the location where the subject piece of furniture waspurchased and give written notification of the defect. In the event that a disputearises regarding this warranty, the terms and provisions of section 14 of the SalesAgreement shall apply. If a covered defect is discovered during the first tenyears that You own the furniture and Kane's is unable to repair the covereddefect, You shall be entitled to an in-store credit, in the amount of theoriginal purchase price of the defective furniture to be used towards newmerchandise.
Sales Order at ¶ 4 (emphasis supplied).
17. Neither the Brochure nor the Sales Order makes any reference to bonded leather.
18. After the purchase of Plaintiffl s Furniture, its Bonded Leather surfaces began to
peel, flake, and otherwise deteriorate in breach of Defendant's express warranty stating that
Plaintiff's Furniture was prepared to prevent against cracking and discoloration. Moreover, this
peeling, flaking, and deterioration constitute a "covered defect" for which Defendant provided an
express warranty pursuant to the Sales Order and the Brochure. See Exh. 1 and Exh. 2.
19. Defendant has sold thousands of pieces of Southern Motion Bonded Leather
Furniture under the same terms provided in the Sales Order and the Brochure and which it
marketed and represented to the public as "leather furniture" that is subject to the same peeling,
flaking, and other deterioration.
20. Plaintiff provided Defendant with notice of the defects with Plaintiff's Furniture.
Consistent with the terms of the express warranty, Plaintiff contacted the Store's manager about
the defects in Plaintiff's Furniture. After repeated efforts to repair Plaintiff's Furniture were
4
unsuccessful, consistent with the terms of the express warranty, Plaintiff sent a demand to
Defendant's corporate office requesting that Defendant honor its express warranty. Defendant
disregarded Plaintiff's demand and did not repair the defect in Plaintiff's Furniture or offer
Plaintiff an in-store credit in the amount of the original purchase price of Plaintiff s Furniture to
be used to purchase new merchandise.
21. As of the date of this complaint, Defendant has refused to comply with its express
warranty.
22. As a result of (a) the peeling, flaking, and other deterioration of Plaintiff's
Furniture and other items of Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture sold by Defendant, (b)
Defendant's sale of Plaintiff's Furniture and other items of Southern Motion Bonded Leather
Furniture based on its deceptive and unfair trade practice of selling such items as "leather
furniture," and (c) Defendant's failure to comply with the terms of its express warranty,
Plaintiffls Furniture and other items of Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture have no
value.
23. All conditions precedent to the maintenance of this action have either occurred,
including the alternative dispute resolutions provisions provided in the Sales Order as alleged
above, have been performed, or have been waived.
24. Plaintiff has been required to retain the law firms of Clark &Martino, P.A., Bajo
Cuva Cohen Turkel, P.A., and Ricardo A. Roig, P.L. to prosecute this action and is obligated to
pay the firms' fees and costs for their services.
CLASS REPRESENTATION ALLEGATIONS
25. Plaintiff, individually and on behalf of all those similarly situated, makes the
following class representation allegations.
5
26. The proposed Class is defined as follows:
All persons who purchased furniture from Defendant manufactured by SouthernMotion, Inc. and made of Bonded Leather within five (5) years of the filing of thisaction.
27. While the exact number of Class members is unknown to Plaintiff at this time, there
are thousands Florida citizens who have purchased defective Southern Motion Bonded Leather
Furniture from Defendant. The identities of the members of the Class are within knowledge of and
can be ascertained from the records of Defendant.
28. The Class is so numerous that joinder of all of their members is impractical.
29. Plaintiffs claims are typical of the claims of the members of the Class because
Plaintiff, like the Class members, purchased the same defective furniture from Defendant, which
Defendant marketed and represented to the public as "leather furniture." Plaintiff and the members
of the Class were also exposed to Defendant's deceptive and unfair trade practices and its failures to
honor the terms of its express and implied warranties. Similarly, Plaintiff, like all members of the
Class, was damaged by the conduct of Defendant and has no interests antagonistic to those of the
members of the Class.
30. This action poses numerous questions of law and fact that are common to Plaintiff
and the members of the Class, and those common questions predominate over any questions
affecting only individual members of the Class.
31. Plaintiff is committed to the vigorous prosecution of this action and has retained
competent counsel experienced in handling class actions involving, among other things, consumer
rights and deceptive, unfair, and unconscionable trade practices. As a result, Plaintiff is an adequate
representative of the Class and will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the Class.
32. Plaintiff brings this class action under Rule 1.220(b)(2) of the Florida Rules of Civil
Procedure because Defendant has acted or refused to act on grounds generally applicable to all the
members of the Class, thereby making final injunctive relief or declaratory relief concerning the
Class as a whole appropriate.
33. Plaintiff also brings this class action under Rule 1.220(b)(3) of the Florida Rules of
Civil Procedure because a class action is superior to other available methods for the fair and
efficient adjudication of this controversy. Because the amounts of the claims of each individual
member of the Class are small relative to the cost and scope of this litigation, and due to the
financial resources of Defendant, none of the members of the Class could afford to seek legal
redress individually for the misconduct alleged in this case. Absent a class action, that misconduct
would go unremedied. Further, individual litigation would significantly increase the delay and cost
to all parties and would burden the judicial system. There will be no manageability problems with
prosecuting this case as a class action.
COUNTIVIOLATION OF THE DECEPTIVE
AND UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES ACT —DAMAGES
34. Plaintiff, individually and on behalf of all those similarly situated, re-alleges
Paragraphs 1 through 33, above.
35. This is a cause of action by Plaintiff, individually and on behalf of the Class,
pursuant to Rule 1.220(b)(3) of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, for damages under FDUTPA
against Defendant.
36. Under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, unconscionable,
unfair, and deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of trade or commerce are unlawful. §
501.204(1), Fla. Stat. In addition, the violation of any "law, statute, rule, regulation, or ordinance
7
which proscribes unfair methods of competition, or unfair, deceptive, or unconscionable acts or
practices" constitutes a per se violation of FDUTPA. § 501.203(3)(c), Fla. Stat.
37. In any action by a party that has suffered a loss as a result of a violation of
FDUTPA, such person may bring an action to recover his or her actual damages. § 501.211(2), Fla.
Stat.
38. Section 672.313 of the Florida Statutes provides that a product sold pursuant to an
express warranty must conform to its express terms.
39. Section 672.314 of the Florida Statutes provides that when any product is sold by
a merchant who deals with products of that kind, there is an implied warranty that the product is
"merchantable," i.e., is of fair average quality and is fit for its ordinary purposes.
40. Defendant sold Plaintiff's Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather
Furniture to Plaintiff and the members of the Class and thereby placed them in the stream of
commerce. Defendant marketed and represented to the public and Plaintiffthat Plaintiff's Furniture
and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather as "leather furniture," even though it knew that they were
made from bonded leather, which is not leather, but is a synthetic, man-made, processed, leather-
like substance that contains only small amounts of leather.
41. By marketing and representing to Plaintiff and the members of the Class that
Plaintiff's Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture as "leather furniture,"
which representations were made to Plaintiff and the members of the Class, all of whom are
consumers, in the conduct of commerce or trade, is unfair and deceptive because it is reasonably
likely to mislead consumers to their detriment, offends established public policy, and is immoral,
unethical, oppressive, unscrupulous, and substantially injurious to consumers.
8
42. Plaintiffs Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture are
defective, not of fair average quality, and not fit for their ordinary purposes, they do not comply
with the implied warranty of merchantability. Defendant's sale of Plaintiff's Furniture and the
Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture in violation of the implied warranty of merchantability
is unfair and deceptive because it is reasonably likely to mislead consumers to their detriment,
offends established public policy, and is immoral, unethical, oppressive, unscrupulous, and
substantially injurious to consumers.
43. Defendant failed to honor the terms of its express warranty by failing to repair
Plaintiff's Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture after it became aware
that of defects or offer in-store credits for the full purchase price. Consequently, Defendant's
express warranty, which was made to Plaintiff and the members of the Class, all of whom are
consumers, in the conduct of commerce or trade, is unfair and deceptive because it is reasonably
likely to mislead consumers to their detriment, offends established public policy, and is immoral,
unethical, oppressive, unscrupulous, and substantially injurious to consumers.
44. Further, Defendant's (a) failure to honor the terms of its express warranty by
failing to repair Plaintiff's Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture after it
became aware that it was defective or offer an in-store credit for the full purchase price, (b) sale
of defective furniture items that are not merchantable, constitute per se violations of FDUTPA
because the referenced statutes that create the express and implied warranties proscribe unfair
methods of competition, or unfair, deceptive, or unconscionable acts or practices.
45. As a result of (a) the peeling, flaking, and other deterioration of Plaintiff's
Furniture and other items of Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture sold by Defendant, (b)
Defendant's sale of Plaintiffs Furniture and other items of Southern Motion Bonded Leather
~]
Furniture based on its representations that it was "leather furniture," and (c) Defendant's sale of
Plaintiff s Furniture and other items of Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture in violation
of the implied warranty of merchantability, (d) Defendant's failure to comply with the terms of
its express warranty, Plaintiff's Furniture and other items of Southern Motion Bonded Leather
Furniture have no value.
46. Plaintiff seeks damages, costs, and attorneys' fees pursuant to §§ 501.211(2) and
501.2105 of the Florida Statutes.
COUNT IIDECLARATORY RELIEF
47. Plaintiff, individually and on behalf of all those similarly situated, re-alleges
Paragraphs 1 through 33, above.
48. This is an action for declaratory relief under Chapter 86 of the Florida Statutes
brought by Plaintiff and the Class against Defendant.
49. Defendant is required to honor the terms of its express warranty and repair
defective furniture or offer an in-store credit for the original purchase price.
50. Defendant, however, disagrees and has routinely failed to comply with its express
warranty.
51. Plaintiff is in doubt concerning his rights under the express warranty and attendant
Florida law, and a justiciable, bona fide, and present controversy exists between Plaintiff, the
members of the Class, and Defendant concerning the proper interpretation of Defendant's
express warranty and any implied warranties, and the parties' attendant rights and obligations
thereunder.
10
52. Plaintiff is entitled to have his uncertainty removed with respect to his rights,
powers, and privileges under the express warranty and any implied warranties and, more
specifically, a determination by this Court that Defendant's failure to replace Plaintiff's Furniture
or offer him in-store credit for the full purchase price violated the terms of any express or implied
warranty.
53. The parties have an actual, present, or adverse and antagonistic interest upon the
existence and effect of the express warranty, and upon whether Defendant property complied
with Florida law.
54. All interest parties and potential adverse interests are before this Court.
55. The relief sought by Plaintiff in this action is not merely to seek legal advice or to
obtain answers to questions propounded out of curiosity.
56. The rights, status, or other equitable or legal relations of the parties are affected by
the terms of Defendant's express warranty.
57. Therefore, under § 86.021 of the Florida Statutes, Plaintiff and the members of the
Class may obtain a declaration of rights, status, or other equitable or legal relations under
Defendant's express warranty.
COUNT IIIVIOLATION OF THE DECEPTIVE
AND UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES ACT —INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
58. Plaintiff, individually and on behalf of all those similarly situated, re-alleges
Paragraphs 1 through 33, above.
59. This is a cause of action by Plaintiff, individually and on behalf of the Class,
pursuant to Rule 1.220(b)(2) of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, for injunctive relief under
FDUTPA against Defendant.
11
60. Under the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, unconscionable,
unfair, and deceptive acts or practices in the conduct of trade or commerce are unlawful. §
501.204(1), Fla. Stat. In addition, the violation of any "law, statute, rule, regulation, or ordinance
which proscribes unfair methods of competition, or unfair, deceptive, or unconscionable acts or
practices" constitutes a per se violation of FDUTPA. § 501.203(3)(c), Fla. Stat.
61. Anyone aggrieved by a violation of the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade
Practices Act may bring an action for injunctive relief. § 501.211(1), Fla. Stat.
62. Section 672.313 of the Florida Statutes provides that a product sold pursuant to an
express warranty must conform to its express terms.
63. Section 672.314 of the Florida Statutes provides that when any product is sold by
a merchant who deals with products of that kind, there is an implied warranty that the product is
"merchantable," i.e., is of fair average quality and is fit for its ordinary purposes.
64. Defendant sold Plaintiff's Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather
Furniture to Plaintiff and the members of the Class and thereby placed them in the stream of
commerce. Defendant marketed and represented to the public and Plaintiff that Plaintiff s Furniture
and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather as "leather furniture," even though it knew that they were
made from bonded leather, which is not leather, but is a synthetic, man-made, processed, leather-
like substance that contains only small amounts of leather.
65. By marketing and representing to Plaintiff and the members of the Class that
Plaintiffls Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture as "leather furniture,"
which representations were made to Plaintiff and the members of the Class, all of whom are
consumers, in the conduct of commerce or trade, is unfair and deceptive because it is reasonably
12
likely to mislead consumers to their detriment, offends established public policy, and is immoral,
unethical, oppressive, unscrupulous, and substantially injurious to consumers.
66. Plaintiff's Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture are
defective, not of fair average quality, and not fit for their ordinary purposes, they do not comply
with the implied warranty of merchantability. Defendant's sale of Plaintiffl s Furniture and the
Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture in violation of the implied warranty of merchantability
is unfair and deceptive because it is reasonably likely to mislead consumers to their detriment,
offends established public policy, and is immoral, unethical, oppressive, unscrupulous, and
substantially injurious to consumers.
67. Defendant failed to honor the terms of its express warranty by failing to repair
Plaintiff's Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture after it became aware of
defects or offer in-store credits for the full purchase price. Consequently, Defendant's express
warranty, which was made to Plaintiff and the members of the Class, all of whom are consumers,
in the conduct of commerce or trade, is unfair and deceptive because it is reasonably likely to
mislead consumers to their detriment, offends established public policy, and is immoral,
unethical, oppressive, unscrupulous, and substantially injurious to consumers.
68. Further, Defendant's (a) failure to honor the terms of its express warranty by
failing to repair Plaintiff's Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture after it
became aware that it was defective or offer an in-store credit for the full purchase price, (b) sale
of defective furniture items that are not merchantable, constitute per se violations of FDUTPA
because the referenced statutes that create the express and implied warranties proscribe unfair
methods of competition, or unfair, deceptive, or unconscionable acts or practices.
13
69. Plaintiff seeks an injunction to enjoin future violations of FDUTPA and attorneys'
fees pursuant to §§ 501.211(2) and 501.2105 of the Florida Statutes.
COUNT IVBREACH OF CONTRACT
70. Plaintiff, individually and on behalf of all those similarly situated, re-alleges
Paragraphs 1 through 33, above.
71. This is a cause of action by Plaintiff, individually and on behalf of the Class,
pursuant to Rule 1.220(b)(3) of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, for breach of contract against
Defendant.
72. Pursuant to the Sales Order, Plaintiff and Defendant entered into a contract for the
purchase of Plaintiff's Furniture. The terms of the express warranty that applied to the contract
are contained in the Sales Order the Brochure.
73. The members of the Class entered into identical contracts involving identical
express warranties as in the Sales Order and the Brochure when they purchased the Southern
Motion Bonded Leather Furniture.
74. Defendant breached the terms of its contract with Plaintiff and the members of the
Class by marketing and representing to Plaintiff and the members of the Class that Plaintiff's
Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture as "leather furniture," all of which
was defective because the furniture began to peel, flake, and otherwise deteriorate.
75. Defendant breached the terms of its contracts with Plaintiff and the members of
the Class by failing to honor the terms of its express warranty when it failed to repair Plaintiffl s
Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture or offer Plaintiff or the members of
the Class in-store credits for the full purchase price for the purchase of replacement furniture.
14
76. By breaching its contracts with Plaintiff and the members of the Class and the
Subclass, Plaintiff's Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture have no value,
thereby causing damages to Plaintiff and the members of the Class.
77. Plaintiff and the members of the Class are entitled to attorneys' fees under the
terms of the Sales Order and § 57.105(7) of the Florida Statutes.
COUNT VBREACH OF IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY
78. Plaintiff, individually and on behalf of all those similarly situated, re-alleges
Paragraphs 1 through 33, above.
79. This is a cause of action by Plaintiff, individually and on behalf of all those
similarly situated, pursuant to Rule 1.220(b)(3) of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, for breach
of the implied warranty of merchantability against Defendant.
80. A warranty that a product is merchantable is implied in a contract for its sale if the
seller is a merchant with respect to goods of that kind. A product is merchantable if it is of fair
average quality or is fit for the ordinary purposes for which it is used.
81. Defendant is a merchant with respect to the sale of furniture items such as Plaintiff's
Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture.
82. Defendant sold Plaintiffs Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather
Furniture to Plaintiff and the members of the Class, respectively. Consequently, Plaintiff and the
members of the Class were foreseeable users of Plaintiffs Furniture and the Southern Motion
Bonded Leather Furniture.
83. Because Plaintiffls Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture
peeled, flaked, and otherwise deteriorated within a short time of its purchase, it is defective and not
15
merchantable because, among other things, it is not of fair average quality, is not fit for its ordinary
purpose for which it is used (i.e., living room fizrriiture), and is not suitable for sale to Florida
CK~3ibY1_fi~I"~il~.~
84. Because of the peeling, flaking, and deterioration of Plaintiff's Furniture and the
Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture and Defendant's subsequent failure to replace it or offer
Plaintiff or the members of the Class in-store credits for the original purchase price, Plaintiff's
Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture have no value. Therefore,
Defendant's conduct has caused Plaintiff and the members of the Class to incur damages.
COUNT VIUNJUST ENRICHMENT
85. Plaintiff, individually and on behalf of all those similarly situated, re-alleges
Paragraphs 1 through 33, above.
86. This is a cause of action by Plaintiff, individually and on behalf of the Class,
pursuant to Rule 1.220(b)(3) of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, for unjust enrichment against
Defendant.
87. By purchasing Plaintiffls Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather
Furniture items from Defendant, which marketed and represented to Plaintiff and the members of
the Class that Plaintiff's Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture as "leather
furniture" and which later peeled, flaked, and otherwise deteriorated, Plaintiff and the members of
the proposed Class have conferred a significant benefit on Defendant, which Defendant requested
from Plaintiff and the members of the Class.
88. Further, when, upon notice, Defendant failed to comply with the terms of its express
warranty by failing to repair the Plaintiffl s Furniture or the Southern Motion Bonded Leather
16
Furniture or offer an in-store credit for the original purchase price, Plaintiff and the members of the
proposed Class have conferred a significant benefit on Defendant, which Defendant requested from
Plaintiff and the members of the Class.
89. Defendant has knowledge of the benefits that Plaintiff and the members of the
proposed Class have conferred on it in the form of payments for Plaintiffl s Furniture and the
Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture, and have accepted the benefits of those payments.
90. Under these circumstances, i.e., (a) Plaintiff and the members of the proposed Class
purchasing Plaintiff's Furniture and the Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture from
Defendant, which was marketed and represented to Plaintiff and the members of the Class as
"leather furniture" and which later peeled, flaked, and otherwise deteriorated, (b) Defendant's
breach of its express and implied warranties, it would be inequitable for Defendant to enjoy the
benefits of the amounts that Plaintiff and the members of the Class paid to them.
91. As a direct and proximate result of Defendant's conduct, Plaintiff and the members
of the proposed Class have suffered and will continue to suffer damages, including those described
above.
92. Therefore, Defendant should be required to reimburse to Plaintiff and the members
of the proposed Class any amounts they received from the sale of Plaintiff's Furniture and the
Southern Motion Bonded Leather Furniture.
REQUEST FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, individually and on behalf of all those similarly situated,
