Peloton Seeks to Toss Riders’ Lawsuit Over ‘Fake’ Sales Taxes

Peloton asked a federal court to force plaintiffs who say the company charged them a false sales tax into arbitration, or otherwise dismiss their case because they allegedly waived the right to bring a class action.

The exercise equipment company, which provides $39-per-month subscriptions to digital workout classes, filed the response Tuesday at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York through a motion and a supporting memorandum. The answer came after plaintiffs from multiple states sued in August on behalf of themselves and people who are similarly situated.
