If you have ever owned an LG air conditioning unit at any time from 2006 to the present, then you may be able to obtain compensation in a putative class action lawsuit. Currently, this class action is gathering steam as more plaintiffs are joining the ranks of this important lawsuit. Presently, over 100 hoteliers have joined the LG class action lawsuit.
How Harmful are Defective Air Conditioning Unit?
Defective air conditioning units can pose a major danger to people and businesses. In Texas, an LG packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC) unit caught fire, killing a boy while he was in his bedroom. In Louisiana, a man escaped a fire in his Comfort Inn room after the LG PTAC unit in that room overheated and ignited the room.
The Comfort Inn lost $257,000 in revenue, as well as much of its reputation, since potential customers are linking the fire to the hotel, rather than to the defective AC units, according to the hotel owner. For businesses, these units are expensive to buy and to repair.
LG is not responding to requests for a recall or for replacements for the defective AC units, which are causing smoke, fire or just shutting down. If you are considering staying in a hotel, it is strongly recommended that you see if they use the defective LG PTAC brand.
There is still time to join this class action suit. In addition to hotels and private homes, these defective units can commonly be found in hospitals, nursing homes, schools and other facilities.
