[Epoch Times] A class action suit filed in California alleges LG Electronics USA, Inc. sold gas range stoves in the United States without properly notifying customers of toxic emissions prior to their purchases. A woman who purchased an LG gas stove in October 2022 claims she was unaware of the "risks" associated with the product before purchasing.
"Ms. Sherzai relied on the representations on the marketing materials disclosing risks," read the lawsuit. "The marketing materials did not disclose or warn that the product emitted harmful pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides. Thus, at the time of purchase, Plaintiff was unaware that the product emitted harmful pollutants such as nitrogen oxide."She claims the suit on behalf of other customers who purchased qualifying LG ranges while living in the United States during the applicable time frame. "There are tens or hundreds of thousands of class members," attorneys wrote in the suit. "The precise number of class members is unknown to Plaintiff at this time." Attorneys say members of the proposed suit "can be identified through public notice."
The suit comes as the industry faces attacks and efficiency proposals by the Biden administration that would remove up to half the current gas range ovens on the U.S. market.
After they settle for a zillion dollars, the state will use that as a basis to ban 'dangerous gas ranges' and give you a tax credit to buy an electric range.
