On September 29, 2024, a chemical fire broke out at the BioLab facility in Conyers, Georgia, setting off a chain of events that turned a typical day into a hazardous situation for nearby residents. The fire, which quickly grew out of control, sent massive plumes of black, chemical-laden smoke into the sky, causing widespread fear and confusion. Emergency responders battled the flames for hours, while officials scrambled to determine the potential health risks to the surrounding community.  Now, people in Rockdale County and the surrounding areas are considering filing a Conyers BioLab fire lawsuit for harm done to them.

This was not an ordinary fire. It was a chemical fire—meaning the smoke and fumes were not just unpleasant, but potentially dangerous to breathe. Chemical fires are notorious for releasing toxic gases and particulates that can linger in the air long after the flames are extinguished. For the residents of Conyers and nearby areas, the worry didn’t end when the fire trucks left.

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.

Class action lawsuits are legal proceedings that allow many individuals to collectively bring a claim to court, typically against a corporation or large entity, for similar grievances. These cases can end in significant settlements or judgments, where the defendant agrees to pay compensation. However, not all awarded funds reach the claimants; a portion remains unclaimed. The handling of this unclaimed money varies, but it generally follows a few established paths.

Cy Pres Awards

One common method of dealing with unclaimed class action funds is through cy pres awards. Cy pres, a French term meaning “as close as possible,” involves distributing the leftover settlement funds to third-party charities or nonprofit organizations that indirectly benefit the class members or support issues related to the lawsuit’s nature. For instance, if the case involved privacy violations by a tech company, the unclaimed funds might go to nonprofits focusing on privacy rights or digital literacy.

A new class action lawsuit against Whirlpool Corporation addresses refrigerators alleged to have defective wiring that compromises the appliance’s functionality and safety.

If you bought a Whirlpool refrigerator, you likely did because the company has an outstanding reputation of making quality products. But, according to the plaintiffs, the wires, designed to flex with the opening and closing of the refrigerator doors, are prone to fraying or breaking prematurely due to the use of substandard materials.

This defect, often manifesting within a few years of purchase, significantly hinders the refrigerator’s performance by disabling critical features such as ice makers and water dispensers—key selling points emphasized in Whirlpool’s marketing materials. Furthermore, the plaintiffs highlight an alarming safety concern: the risk of electrocution or fire stemming from exposed, live wires, a danger exacerbated by the presence of water and known to refrigerator manufacturers like Whirlpool.
