Cell Phone Companies Investigated for Charging Early Termination Fees |

Wireless telephone carriers have charged early termination penalties despite their failure to supply adequate telephone service. The practice of charging these unfair fees to customers who terminate their unsatisfactory wireless phone service is designed to lock customers into staying with companies that cannot provide satisfactory service. Lawyers are currently investigating claims against wireless telephone providers, including AT&T, Verizon, Cingular, Sprint, T-Mobile, Nextel, U.S. Cellular, Alltel, and Qwest, who may have unfairly charged early termination fees even when they failed to provide adequate telephone service.
Early Termination Fees are often unfairly charged to customers accounts, forcing them to pay, despite complaining several times to the carrier about inadequate service and dropped calls.

The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a food industry watchdog group, is suing KFC over an allegedly serious health threat from KFC chicken, potato wedges, pot pies, and other dishes with partially hydrogenated oil. The food industry watchdog group claims it filed a class-action lawsuit against Yum Brands KFC unit for cooking chicken and other foods in oil that contains artery-clogging trans fat. The lawsuit seeks to end KFC's use of partially hydrogenated oil in fried chicken and other dishes.
A class action has been filed against membership shopping warehouse operator PriceSmart, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSMT) and certain of its officers and directors by stockholders who purchased the company's common stock between December 20, 2001, and November 7, 2003. The action claims that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing a series of material misrepresentations to the market over this time period, thereby artificially inflating the price of the company's securities. The parties have reached a tentative settlement in a class action filed against Shaw Industries, Inc., on behalf of California businesses and residents who performed work in connection with floor covering products under warranty by Shaw in California between September 19, 1998, and June 4, 2004. The action alleges that Shaw did not properly compensate its dealers for activities undertaken in connection with the service, repair, and replacement of floor covering products covered by warranty. Persons eligible to take part in the settlement should contact the attorneys for the class for more information. The California State Court of Appeals in Los Angeles has overturned a putative class action lawsuit brought against Pfizer’s Listerine brand, which claimed that the mouthwash was misleadingly advertised as “as effective as floss.” The court ordered that class status be denied and remanded the case back to the trial court. The judges’ decision makes it complicated for the case to proceed, as there is only one named plaintiff who bought Listerine.
The ruling, handed down July 11, is potentially significant because it weakens the ability of lawyers to create class-action suits based on false advertising claims.
