LG Front Load Washing Machine Mold/Mildew Litigation
Chimicles & Tikellis LLP filed a class action complaint in the District Court for the District of New Jersey against LG Electronics USA, Inc. (“LG”) on behalf of consumers who purchased allegedly defective front load washing machines manufactured or sold by LG (the “defective washing machines”). According to the complaint, the defective washing machines suffer from a design and/or manufacturing defect that leads to the formation of mold, mildew, must, and other odiferous and unsightly compounds on the inside of the washing machines. In addition to being unsightly and smelly, the mold and mildew that forms on the interior of the defective washing machines can damage clothes and other items; trigger allergies; and substantially decrease the value of these high-end washing machines, according to the compliant. The complaint alleges that the named plaintiffs have run bleach and other cleaning products through their LG washing machine in an attempt to cleanse it of mold and mildew, but that these efforts to rid their defective washing machine of mold and mildew have been unsuccessful.
The class action complaint filed by Chimicles & Tikellis asserts claims for violations of the New Jersey and Florida consumer protection statutes, breach of express warranty, breach of the implied warranty of merchantability, and unjust enrichment. The complaint seeks monetary damages and other relief, including a court order that compels LG to cease and desist from selling the defective washing machines, and to establish an appropriate program to inspect, repair, and replace the defective washing machines.
