Consumer Protection Class Action Lawsuits

PSW&P has served as lead counsel in numerous class action lawsuits against some of the biggest companies:

  • Acer Vista notebook : We filed a lawsuit alleging that Acer notebook computers do not contain enough Random Access Memory (RAM) to run Microsoft's Vista Premium, a bundle package sold with Acer notebooks. Acer failed to disclose this problem to consumers, which is interfering with consumers' use of their laptops.
  • iPod Nano scratch : We recovered $22.5 million in damages against Apple, Inc.'s first generation iPod Nano. The product's screen became excessively scratched with normal and ordinary use and Apple, Inc. failed to warn consumers of the defect.
  • Bluetooth headsets : PSW&P has a failure-to-warn class action pending in the Central District of California against the three major manufacturers of "Bluetooth" headsets that enable hands-free use of a cell phone (such as while driving). Because the apparatus must be cranked to high volume to be heard over traffic or other background noise, users are exposed to high decibels that can cause permanent hearing damage.

See Notable Class Actions for more information and examples of our law firm's consumer protection class actions.
