Some Lawn Mower Owners Entitled to $75 Class Action Settlement
By Sarah Pierce
Â
Â
A proposed settlement fund of $65 million has been established by 10 lawn mower companies accused of misrepresenting and overstating their horsepower ratings on certain gasoline-powered lawn mowers and lawn mower engines. The companies include Honda, Kohler, Kawasaki, Sears, Deere, Tecumseh, Platinum, Briggs & Stratton, Toro, Electrolux and Husqvarna.
Â
If you purchased a gas-powered lawnmower from these companies between January 1994 and April 2010, you may be eligible to receive up to $35.00 for each walk-behind lawn mower you purchased and up tot $75 for each riding lawn mower you purchased. Some companies named in the class action lawsuit have also agreed to provide a one-year extended warranty to class members.
Â
Class members have until August 31, 2010 to submit a claim form for cash benefits, and up to one year after the court approves the settlement and all appeals are over to submit a claim for an extended warranty. Keep in mind, however, that the extended warranty expires one year after the final approval.Â
