Case ID: 4639 | Consumer Products | 02/02/2006
A Settlement has been proposed in a class action lawsuit to settle claims of those who purchased (for home or office use and not for resale) invisible and transparent tape manufactured by 3M Company and sold in the United States, such as Scotch Magic tape, Scotch transparent tape, Highland tapes and other invisible and/or transparent tapes.
If the Settlement is approved, 3M will donate $41 million worth of tape and other consumer products to charities throughout the United States. The charities will be able to use the products in carrying out their charitable work or distribute them to other organizations that also serve the needy. The Plaintiffs and 3M agree that it would not be practical to otherwise distribute products to the Class, because of the large size of the Class and because of the small volume of purchases made by most Class Members.
