Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has unleashed a lawsuit against Oh La La by Posh, LLC and its proprietor, Renee Cuellar, for leaving multiple families in the lurch. Announced on March 7th, the suit accuses the shop and Cuellar of taking thousands in deposits before abruptly closing down, thus leaving hopeful young women without their dream dresses and out of pocket.
"Oh La La promised families that they would have the perfect dress for their daughter's once-in-a-lifetime quinceañera celebration," Mayes stated. The complaint details a series of alleged fraudulent behaviors including accepting customer deposits with likely no real intent of fulfillment, falsely assuring specific delivery dates for orders, and promising refunds that were never issued. These actions are contended to be in direct violation of the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act.
The Attorney General’s Office is pursuing restitution for those customers stranded without dresses or refunds and is seeking civil penalties above $310,000. Furthermore, an injunction is being sought to prohibit Oh La La and Cuellar from partaking in any future business concerning advertising or selling clothing in the state of Arizona, as per an announcement on the Arizona Attorney General’s website.
Senior Litigation Counsel Stephen J. Emedi is handling the case. For those who believe they might have been victims of consumer fraud, the Attorney General’s Office encourages filing a complaint through their website or contacting their offices across Arizona.
