iPod Nano - Class Action Information
|
Apple Computer is the target of a class action lawsuit that has been launched and claims that the company’s
newly released iPod nano scratches too easily. The lawsuit, filed in US District Court in San Jose California, could
represent up to 125,000 iPod owners.
The class action lawsuit claims that the iPod Nano is defectively designed and that the screen quickly becomes scratched
even under normal use. The suit also claims that the excessive, rapid wear makes the Nano unusable.
“The suit charges that Apple violated implied and expressed warranties when it began selling what plaintiffs claim are
defective devices, and violated aspects of state consumer protection laws,” the law firm bringing the class action said
in a statement.
The suit seeks compensation for buyers of the Nano. Executives at Apple responded to consumer complaints in September
regarding excessive scratching and broken screens by saying that the screens on the iPod Nano are made with the same
material that is found in the company's fourth-generation iPod, which, to date, is complaint free. Apple recommended users
purchase an iPod nano case to prevent scratching.
