Portable UV Light Sanitizer – Does It Really Work? UV Sanitizer USA sells a portable ultraviolet (UV) light sanitizer that they say can kill 99.99% of viruses, germs, bacteria, and mold all on its own – but a recently filed proposed class action is claiming otherwise. The case asserts that the defendant’s claims are false and misleading since the FDA states that UV sanitizers must be supplemented with old-fashioned manual cleaning to work properly. On top of that, the lawsuit says that claims like these can be dangerous to make in the midst of the ongoing global pandemic. The case also calls into question the safety of the product due to the long-recognized dangers associated with exposure to UV radiation. The lawsuit is looking to cover anyone who bought the product – so, if you want more information, read up on the details here. |

| | ~ In Other News ~ | A proposed class action – as well as hundreds of online consumer complaints – are claiming that Spectrum Brands’ Repel insect repellant citronella candles can explode when extinguished. The candles, which can be bought at several popular stores including Target, Home Depot and Walmart, are allegedly plagued by faulty safety features that can cause them to explode and cause serious injury, including burns to the face from hot wax and chemicals. The lawsuit isn’t clear on the science behind why the candles can explode, but it has been noted that explosions can occur even when a candle is extinguished in a reasonable and safe manner. As the lawsuit tells it, the defendant’s Repel citronella candles “are dangerous as sold and are a safety danger to all consumers.” You can read a breakdown of the case right here. |
| The relationship between recalls and class action lawsuits can be a complicated one. Sometimes they happen completely independent of one another. Other times both tools are used in tandem to force companies to properly right the wrongs that plague the average consumer. In a recent blog post, we set out to explore this relationship in detail, answering questions like the following: When you hear about a recall, does that automatically mean a class action is coming? What happens when a recall isn’t enough – or what if one is nowhere to be found? Does a class action have the power to force change? If you, like us, are interested in how these tools can be used together to benefit those affected by potentially defective and dangerous products, read up on the topic here. |
