Unfair Business Practices

Unfair or Deceptive Acts and Practices

A variety of state and federal consumer protection laws exist to cover many unfair or fraudulent business practices in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.  These laws are often flexible enough to cover new scams or swindles that change with the times and technology.  Recently, our consumer lawyers won a jury verdict against a major national bank under Pennsylvania’s Consumer Protection Law after the jury found the bank engaged in deceptive, predatory mortgage lending.

Product Defects and Warranties

You have the right to insist that the products you buy for yourself and for your family are safe and live-up to the manufacturer’s warranty.  As evidenced by the thousands of product recalls each year, the products we buy often have problems that make them unsafe or inadequate.  A warranty is often a major factor in the purchasing decisions we make.  If you’ve purchased a product that is dangerous, wears-out prematurely or is otherwise defective, contact us – we may be able to help.

Our firm is co-lead counsel in a class action suit against a major tire manufacturer over premature tire wear.  We negotiated a nationwide class action settlement which resulted in a settlement fund of up to $8million, with refunds of as much as $90 per tire for the class members.  If you purchased certain lines of Continental tires – whether on a new Chrysler 300 or at a retailer -- and your tires wore out early, you may be entitled to a substantial refund.  Check out www.tiresettlement.com for details.  You have until September 2010 to file a claim.

If a manufacturer or service provider is not living-up to a warranty it has made to you, you may have the basis for a lawsuit. CONTACT US, we can help.
