If you are a California or New Jersey resident and purchased a
Sony VAIO Laptop series SZ, FZ, NW, EB, or F between
March 16, 2006 and January 4, 2017 in California or New Jersey,
you may be eligible to receive a cash payment from Sony.
Why did I get this notice? A settlement (“Settlement”) has been proposed in a class action lawsuit pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California (“Court”) titled In Re Sony VAIO Computer Notebook Trackpad Litigation, Case No. 09-cv-2109 BAS MDD (“Action”). According to available records, you might be a “Class Member.” The purpose of this notice is to inform you of the Action and the Settlement so that you may decide what steps to take in relation to it.
What is the Action about? The Action was filed against Sony Electronics Inc. (“Sony”) by plaintiffs Christina Egner and Rickey Glasco alleging Sony sold certain series of VAIO Laptops with a defectively designed touchpad (also known as trackpad) component. Sony denies wrongdoing and liability and both sides disagree on how much, if anything, the Class could have recovered after trial. No court has decided which side is right. But both sides agreed to provide benefits to California and New Jersey purchasers of certain VAIO laptops and to resolve the case in order to limit further expense, inconvenience, and uncertainty.
Am I a Class Member? You are a “Class Member” if you are: (1) a California resident who purchased a Sony VAIO Laptop, series SZ, FZ, NW, EB, or F, in California between March 16, 2006 and January 4, 2017; or (2) a New Jersey resident who purchased a Sony VAIO Laptop, series SZ, FZ, NW, EB, or F, in New Jersey between March 16, 2006 and January 4, 2017.
What relief does the Settlement provide? If you are a Class Member, you are eligible to receive a Settlement Payment of a one-time cash payment of either (a) 65% of documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred to repair your touchpad up to a cap of $200; (b) 65% of documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred to purchase a peripheral workaround because of purported touchpad issues up to a cap of $60; (c) $25 for any Class Member who claims to have experienced touchpad issues, but does not have proof of repair or purchase of a peripheral workaround; or (d) $5 for a Class Member who does not meet criteria for the preceding (a) through (c). To receive a Settlement Payment, you must timely complete and submit a valid Claim Form, which explains the eligibility and any documentation requirements for the different payment categories. A Claim Form is available on the Internet at the Settlement website www.VAIOTrackpadLitigationSettlement.com. The postmarked deadline to submit a Claim Form is June 5, 2017.
What are my other options? If you don’t want to be legally bound by the Settlement, you must exclude yourself postmarked by June 5, 2017, or you won’t be able to sue Sony about the legal claims in the Action ever again. If you exclude yourself, you cannot receive a Settlement Payment from this Settlement. If you stay in the Settlement, you may object to it postmarked by June 5, 2017. The detailed notice available at www.VAIOTrackpadLitigationSettlement.com explains how to request exclusion or object. The Court will hold a hearing on August 7, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. to consider whether to approve the Settlement, the request by the lawyers representing all Class Members (Gomez Trial Attorneys, Zeldes Haeggquist & Eck, LLP, and Doyle Lowther LLP) for $3.2 million in attorneys’ fees and costs, and the request by the class representatives (Christina Egner and Rickey Glasco) for $10,000 for plaintiff Christina Egner and $7,500.00 for plaintiff Rickey Glasco for a total of $17,500 for their services. You may ask to appear at the hearing, but you don’t have to.
