Settlement Notes
- Andrew Orlander v. Staples Inc.
- Case No. 1:13-cv-00703-NRB
- Pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
Class members of the Staples service plan class action lawsuit claim Staples misrepresented their extended service plans and subsequently violated sections of New York General Business Law. Initial plaintiff Andrew Orlander filed suit against Staples in 2014 with the contention that Staples misled consumers as to the coverage of its extended plans. Staples’ service plans required use of a manufacturer’s warranty prior to the alternative offered by Staples, leading Orlander to believe customers were overcharged.
The defendants in the Staples service plan lawsuit are defined as the Staples Inc. locations in the state of New York. They will receive counsel from Thompson Hine LLP. Staples continues to deny any claims against the company, but has agreed to a settlement in an effort to avoid future litigation.The preliminary settlement came on September 14, 2017 with the final hearing scheduled for December 13, 2017. Settlement funds have been agreed to roughly $4,000,000 with qualifying members receiving a minimum of 11% of the price paid for a protection plan.
All class members who file valid claims in the case will be represented by Gardy & Notis LLP.
