Program our program was my recent report about a lawsuit involving some algae and can more refrigerators. The part lg makes called the linear compressor. Many viewers and the lawsuit claimed it frequently dies before the 10 Year Warranty or 20 year lifespan that lg advertises. On youtube, more than 1,300,000 people watched our story, focusing on betsy in redwood city. She had two fridges die in just five years for yakama two. Exactly the same lg freezer that i have and so when i saw that i said oh, i will contact chris. Reporter says his fridge has acquired five compressors. While people like sue neil and frank were contacting us, the phone was ringing off the hook of the lawyer. So we received thousands of calls reporter accuses lg of fraud, he says the, and he has known for years that refrigerators with a linear compressor regularly die young but it is sold regularly. A trial would force lg to make public any internal communication that might reveal what it knows. Lg is not yet directly responded to the allegations in court. Instead, it is trying to take the dispute behind closed doors. And it is pointing to the box. I have never seen the box. Reporter lg says it put an arbitration notice on the box, it is asking a federal judge to require individual fridge owners to move their case to arbitration in private. But owners we interviewed say they never saw the box, because delivery people unboxed their fridge. Please the box in the truck. The same for sunil. I did not even see the box.

In that case, the court said exactly what you just asked, which is was there sufficient notice to the consumer about this clause . Was there actual consent . If you dont know something, how would you ever agree to it, right . Please hahn says the courts nullify the arbitration agreement in the smart phone box. The judge has not ruled whether lg owners boxes boxed them into arbitration. The legal maneuvering does nothing to repair peoples problem fridges.
