Law360 covers Lenovo 2-in-1 class action as case moves forward
Kramon & Graham represents plaintiffs in a nationwide class action lawsuit filed against Lenovo United States, Inc. The suit alleges that Lenovo brand 700-series 2-in-1 Yoga laptop/tablets manufactured after 2008 are equipped with a dual-hinge system that has an inherent defect that can ultimately render the device unusable. Computer owners across the country have experienced the malfunction.
As reported in Law360's Lenovo Can't Escape Defect Claims Over 2-In-1 Devices, January 5, 2021, United States District Judge Catherine C. Blake has ruled that all plaintiff claims can move forward, including alleged violations of state consumer fraud statutes, breach of express and implied warranties and fraudulent concealment and that "Lenovo's specific claims that its products can withstand 25,000 open-close cycles — or eight years of use — may be actionable."
Jim Ulwick, leader of Kramon & Graham's Class Action practice group, represents the plaintiffs, along with attorneys from Cafferty Clobes Meriwether & Sprengel, and Sauder Schelkopf LLC.
The case is Plaintiffs v. Lenovo (United States) Inc., Defendant, Case No. 1:20-cv-01082-CCB.
