GE Refrigerators Targeted in Class Action Suit |
 |
Florida Lawyers filed a federal class action lawsuit filed against General Electric, which now has more than a 100 model numbers listed as possibly defective.
The problem with the defective GE refrigerators was discovered in March 2005, and since then a Naples man has filed a class action lawsuit against GE on behalf of all Florida customers. The problem involves GE refrigerators having accumulating rust, a black substance in ice and plastic pieces breaking off into drinking glasses.
GE admitted the GSS-22 models had moisture related problems and agreed to replace those that needed more than three repairs.
The Florida lawyers handling the case amended the complaint for the second time because he is researching more information from customers and GE. Plaintiffs seek replacement refrigerators and reimbursement for those who have paid for repairs.
There are now nearly 140 model numbers listed on the second amended complaint. All are 22-cubic-foot models made in Indiana in 2001 and 2002.
