Lawnmower Class Action Settlement

[Bernie]

I got an interesting postcard in the mail today, telling me I was a class member of a class action suit filed against all the major lawnmower manufacturers and mower engine manufacturers. They're looking to settle out of court and the amounts they're talking about won't make anyone rich (except the lawyers) but will put some gas in your tank.

If you've purchased a lawnmower in the last 16 years (since 1994) you're probably also a member of this class action, and can collect on the settlement.

They have a web site setup to file your claim, and provide information about the lawsuit.

Interesting. I'll have to sift through it to see if it's worth it. I think my GF got like $2 and some change once. A check just showed up in the mail for some class action.

Ha! Imagine that, engine manufacturers that inflate their hp numbers. They should be ashamed.

this is just a scheme to make the lawyers rich, suck for the companies....not even worth it IMO, if I got the check I would prolly throw it away...

Kinda like the Microsoft class action suit a few years ago. I think I got a $40 check out of the deal . . .

No interest here. I have no doubt that some companies would market engines with deceptive numbers on them... but I see no justification for joining the litigious society.

I'll pass.

I think I'm going to sue because my John Deere is not quite the right color of green.

I get crap like this in the mail all the time and I refuse to participate because I don't want to add to all of the frivolous lawsuits that go on in this country. It's ridiculous IMHO.

I am a little upset that my 100hp TroyBilt mower will not outperform my 5hp walk behind though.

Well my 15-20 year sears all wheel steering with a 15 hp twin cyl wont pull my 90 chevy c2500HD. I guess the truck is too heavy to be pulled by riding mower.
