Plaintiffs v General Electric and Samsung
Plaintiffs File Lawsuit Against General Electric and Samsung For Alleged Defective Microwaves
On May 19, 2009, a lawsuit was filed against the General Electric Company and Samsung Electronics, Inc. in connection with GE-branded microwave ovens. The lawsuit seeks certification of a nationwide class on behalf of persons who have owned a GE-branded microwave oven manufactured on or after January 1, 2000.

The Complaint seeks, among other things, compensatory damages, restitution, and a permanent injunction.
