Appliance lawsuits can involve alleged defects, safety problems, warranty disputes and repair costs. Some cases are dismissed. Others continue for years or result in settlements with specific eligibility rules and filing deadlines. This page brings Appliance News coverage together so readers can quickly see what stage a case has reached and whether there is an action they may need to take.

A Lawsuit Does Not Mean a Settlement
A complaint contains allegations made by the party filing the case. Filing a lawsuit does not by itself establish that those allegations are true, create a class action or guarantee that consumers will receive compensation.
When a case changes, Appliance News coverage identifies the current procedural stage and distinguishes proposed settlements from settlements that have received the approvals required to take effect.

Check Before You File
Use the official settlement administrator or court-approved process when submitting a claim. Be cautious of websites that request unnecessary payment or personal information simply to tell you whether a settlement exists.
