Two Law Firms File Suit Against Apple Computer - iPod Nano Allegedly Defective in Lawsuit
The Los Angeles based Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights (FTCR) is suing Apple Computer due to alleged “defective” iPod Nanos. The consumer group says “Apple must fix” the problem or give unhappy customers refunds. In addition, FTCR claims Apple is refusing to give refunds to purchasers, while forcing others to pay $25 to get a “replacement” that is supposed to be free under the Apple warranty.
The group brought the lawsuit under the California consumer protection laws on behalf of iPod purchasers. The suit alleges the screen can get scratched so “severely” that it becomes unreadable under normal use. According to FTCR, the problems became apparent within a few weeks of the product’s launch, and Apple has acknowledged a problem.12:03 PM | | 0 Comments
