Moldy Front Load Washer Class Action Appeal Refused by Supreme Court

The attorneys representing both sides have been firing sound bites across the media outlets, trying to garner support for their positions. One major manufacturer has vowed to rigorously defend against the lawsuits and labeled it as an attack on American manufacturing. In a statement Whirlpool said “The facts remain unchanged: the vast majority of class members have not been harmed and never will be.”.  NYU law professor Samuel Issacharoff who represents Sears and Whirlpool consumers, called the court’s decision “a big win,” adding: “There is nothing un-American about manufacturers having to stand behind their products.” (Reuters 2/14/14) This is going to be a very long, protracted legal battle spanning many years. Consumers involved in filing the claim will probably see very little monetary compensation for their efforts but the attorney bills and legal fees will be staggering!
