Class Action Against Apple For Defective iMac Computer Displays
Meisleman, Denlea, Packman, Carton & Eberz, P.C. is investigating a potential class action complaint on behalf of consumers and all others similarly situated (the “Class”) alleging that Apple’s iMac computers, specifically iMacs with 20” and 24” displays, have a widespread and commonplace characteristic screen defect and design flaw. The problem manifests as a change of colors from the top to the bottom of the iMac screen. A solid colored background appears normal at the top of the screen and gradually changes color as your eye approaches the bottom of the screen. At the bottom of the display, the color appears faded or washed out. Medium blue becomes light blue and light colors become white. Apple has refused to acknowledge the problem, and refuses to fix the defect if the computer is out of warranty, which expires one year after purchase. Unfortunately, consumers who choose to repair the defect can incur costs of more than $600 in parts and labor. Moreover, the defect oftentimes manifests itself months or even years after purchase of a new iMac with a 20” or 24” display.
Consumers have posted complaints on various Apple related internet sites, stating that they have had to repair the defective displays at their own expense, that Apple has refused to reimburse them for the expense incurred, and that Apple has refused to exchange defective iMac displays for iMacs with properly functioning displays.
If you have an iMac computer with a defective 20” or 24” display which Apple has refused to warrant or fix free of charge, please contact us immediately to discuss your legal options.
