Sylvania/OSRAM $30M Class Action Settlement

I've owned my Ford Ranger for 14 years and have only had one headlight bulb failure, six months after installing a set of Silver Stars.  I put the original bulbs back in and they're still working fine (remember, up in Canada our headlights are on whenever the engine is on and the emergency brake is off).

I honestly cannot remember the last time I changed a headlight in anything, it's been that long.  We're talking decades, here.  

Now watch - two will go on different cars in the next week........

It amazes me how litigious it is there in the USA.

It must put a lot of small business owners off start up or R + D projects.

Is it part of any business growth where you need to consider - "we need to be ready to fight this in a Court.".....

Sadly you are right on target, Bernie.

Bernie....  There are time slots on some TV channels that are sponsored by a multitude of law firms running back to back ads for everything from asbestos exposure to auto accidents to knee joint replacement, to good old fashioned ambulance chasing....   You can watch up to eight back to back ads by different firms in as little as four minutes...  Its positively asinine.

Mmm yes I am not sure how far we are behind you..
