Case: Doering v. Mega Brands, Inc., Civ. Action No. 08-1750 (SDW) (D.N.J.) |
|
The Honorable Susan D. Wigenton of the United States District Court for New Jersey has preliminarily approved a class action settlement in the lawsuit Chris Doering, et al. v. MEGA Brands, Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 2:08-CV-1750 (SDW) (MCA). MEGA Brands has agreed to provide cash refunds and other monetary relief to families and other consumers who purchased toys containing small magnets that could become loose and potentially swallowed by young children. The products covered by the proposed Settlement are referred to as “Magnet Toys,” and consumers may refer to the list of toys covered by the Settlement, along with pictures of those toys, at www.megabrandssettlement.com. If approved by the Court, the proposed Settlement will require Mega Brands to provide refunds to consumers who purchased or acquired the Magnet Toys, provide additional cash relief to those consumers who previously participated in its toy recalls but who were not given the option of a cash refund, and donate $100,000 to a newly-created organization called the Mega Brands Foundation, which will provide donations to organizations that address children’s health issues.
