    I got the 50 footer, lasted 2 months, when I called them they told me it had been to long.
    Got another 50 footer from another outfit and it to popped.
    Went back to a rubber hose it still works 7 years later. It’s a pain but it works great.
    I Hope someday they can make a good hose, I really like the Pocket Hose Idea.

    I am very disappointed I never heard about this suit till now! I purchased 4 of them between that time period & all 4 didn’t last long!

    My daughter bought a Pocket Hose as a Father’s Day gift, needless to say that it only lasted about one month and then it burst on me! Always took care of this darn hose and took extra care of it, but it did not matter, they are not \durable\ at all! She bought if from Bed Bath @ Beyond store, took it back and they did not have any in stock, so they returned it for me (75ft), received the replacement in not time at all, but guess what happened? You guessed it, it also busted on me, it fact; it sounded like a gunshot when it blew up! I then returned it back in the box that they had sent me that included a return lable (wonder why?), Anyway, that was three weeks ago and I have not received one as of yet, problems is that I can’t find the tracking receipt when I took it to UPS, so now I’m without any hose, receipt, etc………

    There is some kind of scam going on with this settlement. They give you no way to reach anyone via phone…only get a recorded message. I received the wrong amount for this settlement and of course it was less than it should have been.
