    what happen with Sylvania. And you should buy a frogger deterrent. Really though you should donate to a poor fellow INGOer as in ME. Id go with ammo if you shoot a lot or a nice fancy new gun. Of coarse my wife would not allow either of those so good luck to you.

    I got one of those too. Is it for Automotive light bulbs??? I had to buy some bulbs for one of my cars and they were $96 each....
    That's the only Sylvainia bulbs purchase I can think of....

    Do you know how many of their bulbs I went through before I finally gave up and bought some from the dealer at a whopping 10% over sylvania's price?
    How did i not get in on this action? I should be getting a check for like 300$ I'm a slow learnerer.

    I just got my check this week. A whole $9.27.

    I'm not exactly sure it is the same settlement but it's still money.

    I was ripped off then, and I have been ripped off again, my check was only for $2.47! This is supposed to be payback for the fact that Sylvania lied to us about the brightness and lifespan of their Silver Star (super bright) automotive bulbs from like 1998 to 2010. I bought probably 3 pair in one year at something like $75 - $100 per pair. None were very good, and did not last.

    I wonder if it's possible to pry loose the lawyers' portion of the settlement. They're the ones thanking you for getting ripped off.

    I just got a check for $2.47. I got one before for around $10 or $11.

    So that is about $12. Figure the lawyers who did the work got $4, for each one of 2,000,000 class action plaintiff's, so they made c. $8,000,000.

    And now boys and girls, you know how the world goes around.

    Sorry my math was wrong. 40% would be $12,000,000.

    Apparently I didnt get in on this free money....
    I think the last class action I got was against Apple back many years ago... I think I got a coupon for $25 off the next $2000 computer that I would buy...
