According to Businesswire:
Originally filed in 2007, the class action lawsuit alleged that the lamps of certain Toshiba DLP televisions were susceptible to premature failure causing purchasers to repeatedly expend hundreds of dollars for replacement bulbs, which allegedly suffered from the same defect. Plaintiffs pursued through their class action complaint claims sounding in consumer protection law and breach of express and implied warranty.
The settlement, a product of several months of negotiations between counsel, provides reimbursement to class members who purchased a bulb replacement that failed before its useful service life and also extends the warranty on replacement bulbs from six months to twelve months. The parties estimate that the affected class is comprised of approximately 265,000 persons throughout the United States and that the settlement is valued in excess of $1 million.
