Apple MacBook & MacBook Pro & MagSafe “T” Power Adapter Class Action Lawsuit Settlement

If you are the original owner of certain MacBook or MacBook Pro computers and/or you purchased a standalone 60W or 85W MagSafe power adapter for these computers, you could be entitled to benefits under a class action settlement.

A class action settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit pending against Apple Inc. (“Apple” or “Defendant”) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (styled In re Magsafe Apple Power Adapter Litigation, Class Action Case No. C09-01911-JW) alleging, among other things, that Apple 60W or 85W MagSafe “T” Power Adapters, that were sold with certain Apple MacBook or MacBook Pro computers or separately purchased are defective in that they dangerously fray, spark and prematurely fail to work and that Apple engaged in misrepresentations regarding the MagSafe “T” Power Adapters, according to the Apple MacBook & MacBook Pro & MagSafe “T” Power Adapter class action lawsuit settlement notice.

The Apple MacBook & MacBook Pro & MagSafe “T” Power Adapter settlement class reportedly includes all United States residents who (1) are the original owners of an Apple MacBook or MacBook Pro computer that shipped with a 60W or 85W MagSafe MPM-1 (“T”) Power Adapter (“Subject Computers”) and/or (2) purchased a standalone 60W or 85W MagSafe MPM-1 (“T”) Power Adapter. The Settlement Class includes original owners who received their Subject Computer(s) as a gift. The Class does not include Apple; any entity in which Apple has a controlling interest; Apple’s directors, officers, and employees; Apple’s legal representatives, successors, and assigns; and all persons who validly request exclusion from the Settlement Class.

Under the Apple MacBook & MacBook Pro & MagSafe “T” Power Adapter proposed settlement, Apple has agreed to provide, among other things, a cash payment to Class Members who purchased a Replacement Adapter for a Subject Computer or Adapter covered by the settlement and who send in a valid Claim Form. The cash payment covers the purchase of a Replacement Adapter within the first three years following the initial purchase of the Subject Computer or Adapter, and before November 22, 2011. The amount of the cash payment will vary depending on when the Replacement Adapter was purchased.

The Court will hold a Fairness Hearing at 9:00 a.m. on February 27, 2012, at the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Francisco Division, Courtroom 9 (19th Floor) located at 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California, 94102 to consider whether the settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate.
