I got $1.86 check, $3.48 coupon, and $10.00 off coupon in the last 10 years for the same kind of class-action cases.
Lawyers got tens of millions in each case. Lawyers are pondscum!

I too have been the unwitting party to these class action suits. Class actions suits need serious reform, but that has NOTHING to do with this case or any type of jury trial.
Class actions suits are settled by the companies and approved by the court. They are not the result of some runaway jury.
The companies could put an end to class action suits by just refusing to settle, but they don't and won't because they love being able to wipe out such large amounts of liability for such a pittance. They love being able to pay outrageous amounts of fees to undeserving attorneys in order to fleece the little people who were the victims of small sums which aggregated comes to a small fortune.
When you got the coupons, did you cash/use them? I didn't. I have ethics.

This was not a class action lawsuit. This was a wrongful death lawsuit with a specific plaintiff, referring to a specific deceased person, and a specific grieving family. It’s not a large group of plaintiffs. People seem not to understand the difference.
I’ve never understood why anyone would sign onto a class action lawsuit. Tell us why you did, please, as opposed to pursuing your own individual claim for whatever the damage was.
