Default Did you buy a lawnmower between 1994 & 2012?

Some of you may remember a thread back in 2019, with the same title, regarding a class action lawsuit in connection to inflated horse power labelling on lawn mowers. The thread went sideways and is closed now. I can’t remember, but I think I received around $300.00 back then for my claim. Anyway, now 5 years later, I just received another cheque for $110.00 today!! To be eligible for this residual payment you must have received more than $250.00 on the first go round. So anyone who participated in that class action and received more than $250.00 should be watching their mailbox.

COOL!!!!. I started that last thread but I really don't remember how much I got back. Glad that thread continues to pay off for some of those that took the time to file the minor info needed to claim.

Just picked up the mail. Got a cheque for 110.88 too. Yipeee, and nananana booboo to all the naysayers. I have no problem collecting from companies that knowingly falsely advertise their products. Glad there were so many who couldn't be bothered claiming as this second payout is the result of not near enough claimants to use up the pool of funds.

I got about $50 for one push mower.
It was rated at 4.5 horse.
Wait a minute it’s the one I’m still using. I bought it about 20y ago. I think I paid $300 for it.

I am still using all three of the mowers, two push and one ride on, that I claimed on. What has that got to do with the fact they way over advertised to horsepower on all three. One push mower by almost double. Does it do the job, yes it does. So why advertise it at double its actual horsepower rather than explain that the deck and blade system are far more important than the horsepower. Companies need to quit lying and taking the easy way out. Act responsibly and you won't be open to class action suits.
