To be clear: I already have several class members signed up, and will likely file an objection depending upon the response from plaintiffs’ counsel to my inquiries about the settlement. If you haven’t already explicitly signed up with me via email with a retainer agreement, you are not “signed up,” and will either have to object individually, or free-ride off of the objection (if any) I make on behalf of my clients.

@27: Gremmie, the lawsuit only claims economic harm, and has nothing to do with physical harm from failure to warn.

While many have accused this and other suits as being friviolous, I find that assertion as being absurd. Failure to warn of harm is as applicable to this case as it is to pharmecuticals, or other manufactured devices.
That being said, it is also absurd for the ‘settlement offer’ to preclude recovery for those individuals who are members of this class who have suffered actual harm from these devices.

Please OBJECT to the settlement if you find it at all appauling.

I have a Motorola Bluetooth headset (the HS850) that I bought in 2003 or 2004 (I’d have to check), and would be totally interested in this. I’m so sick of frivolous lawsuits and the money they cost.

Sign me up.

I got an IOGear headset, myself … but I have some cash just sitting there in a paypal account, just looking for a place where it could ~~provide me some devious entertainment~~ do the most public good.

I’ll happily chip into the expenses fund for this. At the very least it might embarrass everyone involved, though a sense of shame might be too much to hope for.

I am a member of the class, having purchased a Motorola blue tooth headset in 2004. Please include me on your list. I am constantly being bombarded with class action junl mail and am pleased to be able to join your action against these nuisances.

Consider placing some ads:

“…Have you or a loved one ever received Class Action junk mail? Unsatisfied with your 12 cent check, unredeemable coupon, or silly new warning…? ”

“You may be entitled to have some fun. Call me, the frugal, reasonable lawyer… You pay nothing unless you want to…”
