Did you buy a laptop between 2000-2011? You may be owed money!
If you buy a laptop, power tools, camcorders, or other electronic products, from 2000 to 2011, you may owe money from nearly $45 million in lithium-ion batteries for antitrust settlement.
Battery manufacturers LG Chem, Hitachi Maxell and NEC have agreed to settlements after a class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of indirect purchasers of lithium-ion cylindrical HITACHI EB 2420 Batteryies.
The companies were accused of price-fixing, which resulted in consumers overpaying for electronics that contained the batteries, including:
- Laptop PCs, notebooks, netbook computers
- Mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, digital audition player, cameras
- Camcorders
- Cordless power tools
- Replacement batteries for any of these products
U.S. residents may be eligible to receive compensation if they purchased any product containing a lithium-ion cylindrical battery manufactured by one of the defendants between January 1, 2000 and May 31, 2011.
To submit a claim, you need to file online by November 29, 2017. The amount of the payment will not be known until all claims are received and the court approves the final settlement. No proof of purchase is required.
