Apple has agreed to pay $20 million to settle a defective watch class action lawsuit that alleged design defects in several Apple Watch models caused battery swelling, leading to costly damages. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, claimed that Apple did not allocate enough internal space in certain models to accommodate battery expansion, a known and expected phenomenon in lithium-ion batteries.

As a result, plaintiffs alleged that when the battery swelled, it exerted pressure on the watch’s screen, causing the screen to detach, crack, or shatter entirely. Some users also reported injuries from broken glass when the screen popped off unexpectedly. The lawsuit further accused Apple of failing to properly disclose the risk of battery swelling and not covering the issue under its warranty policy. This was all resolved with a $20 million.  The good news? If you qualify, getting your settlement money will be easy. The bad news is that compensation payouts for victims, as we explain below, is not much.

False Discount Scheme

In a lawsuit filed in the Western District of Kentucky, two plaintiffs have initiated a class action against Haier US Appliance Solutions, Inc., doing business as GE Appliances.

The complaint alleges that GE Appliances sold refrigerators with a significant compressor defect. This defect, according to the plaintiffs, causes the refrigerators to fail at cooling, leading to spoiled food and beverages and rendering the appliances unusable for their intended purpose. This issue reportedly manifests shortly after purchase and well before the expected lifespan of the appliances.

If you are a possible plaintiff, you may have a compensation claim.  You should keep detailed records of your purchase, including receipts, warranty information, and any communications with the company (emails, calls, service requests). Also, document the issues you’ve experienced with the product, including any attempts to have it repaired, costs incurred, and the impact of the defect.

For decades, millions of Americans used Johnson & Johnson talcum products, such as Baby Powder, daily. That has all changed drastically as recent scientific research has revealed that long-term use of talcum powder products can cause cancer. The discovery of the link between talcum powder and cancer has led to thousands of talcum powder lawsuits and the disappearance of various products from retail shelves.

The recall of certain talcum powder products (such as J&J’s Baby Powder) has left many consumers searching for alternatives to meet their daily hygiene needs. Fortunately, there are many talcum powder alternatives that do not cause cancer. You can find some of these alternatives in local supermarkets, drug stores, or online. However, others may be more difficult to find. The following are seven non-toxic alternatives to talcum powder.

What the Lawsuit Is About?

The Lenovo class action lawsuit alleges that Lenovo sold Flex 5 and Yoga 730 laptops with a defect in the display that significantly impairs the laptops’ functionality.

We can all agree that NFL apparel is expensive.  A new lawsuit against the NFL claims that antitrust violations are a big part of the reason.

A class action lawsuit has been filed against the National Football League (NFL) and sports merchandise leader Fanatics in a Manhattan federal court. An Illinois resident accuses the NFL and its 32 teams of conspiring with Fanatics, based in Jacksonville, Florida, to monopolize the online retail market for licensed sports merchandise like jerseys and t-shirts. The suit claims this has led to consumers paying artificially high prices due to stifled competition.

The lawsuit alleges that instead of engaging in competitive sales, the NFL and its teams have effectively given Fanatics exclusive control over the market, with the sports merchandise company sharing its monopoly profits with the teams. This arrangement is said to have disadvantaged other retailers.

A class action lawsuit has been filed against American Express Company and American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc.
