Lawsuit filed over nano screen scratches
Posted by Helper Monkey
Red Herring reports a class action lawsuit has been filed in San Jose’s U.S. District Court against Apple Computers over its wildly popular iPod nano music player. The lawsuit was filed by Jason Tomczak on behalf of ALL iPod nano owners. Tomczak claims the nano’s screens scratch so easily he “left significant scratches� on his player by merely wiping a paper towel across it.
The suit alleges the nanos “scratch excessively during normal usage, rendering the screen on the Nanos [sic] unreadable, and violating state consumer protection statutes… and causing Plaintiff class members to incur loss of use and monetary damages.�
Tomczak’s suit is looking for reimbursement for the cost of the nano, plus unspecified punitive damages. In addition Tomczak has filed for an unknown percentage of the nano’s profits.
It is not know whether Tomczak is insane, or merely stupid.
I’m voting for insane.
Why would he (they) be entitled to a share of the nona profits?!?!
But I guess it never hurts to ask these day, since million dollar payoffs in frivilous suits are now common.
