The California’s Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) (Cal. Civ. Code § 1750 et seq.) prohibits vagueness, unfair business practices, and deception by declaring unlawful "methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices undertaken by any person in a transaction intended to result or which results in the sale or lease of goods or services to any consumer".Cal. Civ. Code § 1770

The CLRA claim is especially attractive to potential plaintiffs because Cal. Civ. Code USD 1780 allows consumers that suffer damage as a result of a practice declared unlawful by USD 1770 to obtain actual damages (the total award of damages in a class action shall be more than $1,000); an order enjoining the methods, acts, or practices; restitution of property; punitive damages; court costs and attorney's fees; and any other relief that the court deems proper.
