An hilarious thing about the article is that another Class Action firm is looking to sue helmet manufacturers for not using Wave Cell technology. As a manufacturer you’re damned if you do and if you don’t.
These Class action firms, are not regular lawyers responding to the needs of clients who come to them with problems needing redressed. They actively seek out alleged problems and discrepancies so they can bring suit. Once they gin up a theory, then they find a lead plaintiff. And file suit.

While most of these class action lawsuits are a joke, not all are.
In the mid 90's I able to get all of the polybutylene plumbing ripped out if my house and replaced with copper under a class action lawsuit. In addition I was reimbursed for the repairs and damages from 2 leaks the occurred prior the house being replumbed. This was a very big job amounting to several thousand dollars but could have been even more since both of my leaks very fairly minor and didn't do a lot of damage.
On the other hand, the Trek lawsuit is laughable. It doesn't seem terribly worse than most of the garbage that comes out of these marketing departments.

Yep, My sister first house had that Poly, got into that suit, then had her house repiped and then she moved after her husband got a new job. The new house has cast iron piping and I think she is involved that new lawsuit brought by the dude in Orlando that seems to have a commercial on every 5 mins. I guess he has to pay for that advertising somehow.
