I just received a letter from 12th Judicial circuit court Illinois in mail with a claim form. The title of the letter says
To: All original United States End User Consumers Who Purchased, At Retail, Or Who Received As A Gift An Original Purchases, Any of the Sony DVD Players Listed Below Between January 1, 1998 And Present.
This Notice is given to inform you of the pendency of this Class-Action lawsuit and its proposed settlement. If the settlement is approved by the court, certain benefits will be available to members of the settlement class in settlement of all claims relating to allegedly defective Sony-brand dvd players.
The Court, by order dated November 21, 2006, has preliminary approved the proposed settlement, ordered this notice be given, and conditionally certified the following class for settlement purposes only: All original United States end user consumers who purchased, at retail, any of the following Sony DVD player models between January 1, 1998 and present (hereafter, the "Settlement Class"):
