Lawnmower Class Action Lawsuit Could Bring you $75 (Sign up by August 31)

Lawnmower Class Action Lawsuit for False Advertising Claims

I use a good ole’ fashion push reel mower, so I’m not eligible for the class action lawsuit that I’m about to inform you about, however, if you bought an engine powered mower in the last 16 years, you might be.

If you are a resident of the U.S. or Puerto Rico and purchased a walk-behind or riding lawn mower from 1994 to April 12, 2010 with engines capable of up to 30 horsepower, you are eligible for some cash back and potentially an extended warranty via a little known class action lawsuit against lawnmower manufacturers. Owners may receive up to $35 for walk-behind mowers and up to $75 for riding mowers. But you must sign up by August 31 to be eligible.

According to the official lawnmower class action lawsuit settlement site:

The lawsuit claims that the Defendants sold certain gasoline-powered lawn mowers and lawn mower engines with false and misleading horsepower ratings. The Defendants deny these claims and deny that they did anything wrong. The lawsuit does not concern the safety of these lawn mowers. The parties have agreed to resolve this case by settlement.

In order to potentially claim the cash and/or extended warranty, 3 conditions must be met:

  1. You purchased a lawn mower, for your own use, containing an engine with up to 30 horsepower in the United States or Puerto Rico and between January 1, 1994 and April 12, 2010.
  2. Either the lawn mower or the engine of the lawn mower was manufactured or sold by a Company listed below.
  3. You submit a claim by August 31, 2010.

Your lawn mower is included if your engine was manufactured by:

  • Briggs & Stratton
  • Honda
  • Kawasaki
  • Kohler
  • Tecumseh
  • Toro
Or, your lawn mower is included if your lawn mower was manufactured by:

  • Deere
  • EHP
  • Honda
  • Husqvarna
  • MTD
  • Sears
  • Toro
Brands manufactured by these companies include, but are not limited to:
Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, Honda, Bolens, Exmark, Deere, Sabre, Scotts, Toro, Yard Machines, Craftsman, Troy Bilt, Husqvarna, Poulan, Poulan PRO, Lawn-Boy, Weed Eater, White Outdoor, Snapper, Simplicity, Brute, Murray, and other brands.

Personal Note on Class Action Lawsuits:

I can’t give legal advice, but I have signed up for and received benefits to class actions cases before (I’m still getting free credit score monitoring from the Transunion settlement). Others, however, seem a bit frivolous and not worth signing up for.
