DeVilbiss settlement???
I just got a letter saying that I qualify for a settlement in some law suit
about DeVlibiss compressors and could pick from a choice of 5 free tools. Anyone konw what the law suit was about? I thought lying about compressor horsepower ratings was normal. :-) -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.

It's about inflated HP figures (you'l' notice now a lot of .67HP compressors that used to be 5.5+). CH owners got $50 towards most of their product line. I ended up with two free air hoses and a free grinder. GTO(John) |
Now that you mention it, I do remember sending in something. I usually
don't respond to those class action things because it is usually not worth the effort just so another lawyer can buy a yacht. OTOH, I did get a $100 credit from UPS last month. -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.

1. Sound system power ratings
The home units are horribly mislabeled, but the pro stuff is generally close to correct. 2. Shop vac peak horsepower ratings What? I can't hear you right now. We're cleaning the shop unsing one of those... 3. Fake "low carb" junk food products Low carb bread anyone? I've seen it! -- Regards, Joe Agro, Jr. (800) 871-5022 http://www.autodrill.com http://www.multi-spindle-heads.com V8013 |

Here are some other industries where I would like to see some serious fraud reduction: 1. Sound system power ratings 2. Shop vac peak horsepower ratings 3. Fake "low carb" junk food products 4. Use of surge power ratings on generators (5 hp generator being falsely labeled as 7hp because it can produce 7hp for 2 seconds). 4. Hot chicks in bars being hot only because you're in a bar. Or maybe because they can generate 7hp for two seconds--whatever. Damn you, Tequila! -- B.B. --I am not a goat! thegoat4 at airmail dot net http://web2.airmail.net/thegoat4/ |
