Welcome to the Dzielak v. Whirlpool Corporation Class Action Website
If You Purchased A Maytag Centennial Clothes Washer Bearing Model Numbers MVWC6ESWW0, MVWC6ESWW1, Or MVWC7ESWW0, A Class Action Lawsuit May Affect Your Legal Rights
- Purchasers of certain Maytag Centennial clothes washers have sued Whirlpool Corporation (“Whirlpool”), Sears Holdings Corporation, Home Depot U.S.A., Inc., Fry’s Electronics, Inc., and Lowe’s Home Centers, LLC (collectively “Defendants”), alleging that they misrepresented the clothes washers’ energy efficiency by labeling them with the Energy Star logo when, in fact, they did not meet the Energy Star program’s standards for energy efficiency.
- The Court has allowed the lawsuit to be a class action against Whirlpool only and on behalf of all persons in New Jersey, California, Florida, Texas, Ohio, Virginia, and Indiana who purchased a Maytag Centennial clothes washer bearing model numbers MVWC6ESWW0, MVWC6ESWW1, or MVWC7ESWW0. These products are collectively referred to as the “Centennial Clothes Washers.”
- The Court has not decided whether Defendants did anything wrong. There are no benefits available now, and no guarantee there will be. However, your legal rights are affected, and you have a choice to make now:
