Class-Action Lawsuit Filed Over iPod nano Scratches
Thursday, October 20th, 2005 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Cook
A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Apple by consumers unhappy over what they claim is the iPod nano's easily-scratched casing. According to an article at Red Herring, which was referenced by iPodNN, the lawsuit calls for not only a full refund of the purchase price but also a cut of Apple's profits on the nano's sales, which have reached more than one million units since its release last month.
iPod nano owner Jason Tomczak initiated the lawsuit, which says that he rubbed a paper towel on the MP3 player's face, which "left significant scratches." The lawsuit also claims that 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."
In addition to citing tales of the plaintiffs' scratched nanos, the filing notes many of the posts on message boards and blogs, in addition to various news stories, to support its claims. Apple, which never comments on pending litigation, declined to return phone calls and e-mails placed by Red Herring.
