April 2 (Reuters) – Groupon Inc, which runs the

world’s largest online coupon site, has agreed to an $8.5

million settlement of litigation alleging that the expiration

dates on its coupons are illegal.

The settlement resolves 17 lawsuits that were consolidated

in a federal court in San Diego, where settlement papers were

filed.

It addresses claims that the restrictions imposed on

consumers by the Chicago-based company and various retailers it

works with violated federal and state consumer protection laws.
