  • Because we are all scrambling to get $35?
  • Because lawyers are coming up with ways to make coin that crush companies in the process?
  • Or because the evil corporations were stating the engine made 5HP instead of 4.2?
Is this class action suit really worth the jobs it will cost? Tecumseh already went out of business a few years ago. Who is next?

Exactly why I have never responded to class action stuff. I always figured the only people that I'm helping are the damn lawyers who I'm sure are getting more that $35!

Actually, I believe that the companies settle and the lawyers fees are taken out the settlement $. Doesn't make a differnce if you respond or not, the lawyers are getting paid and there may be even a chance, that they get paid more if there are fewer respondants.

If the company was honest from the get-go this wouldn't be happening to them. If it weren't for events like this that hold companies accountable for their lies, why should any company be honest?
