This website contains information regarding a proposed class action settlement that has been preliminarily approved by the Court called Cobb v. BSH Home Appliances Corporation, Case No. 8:10-cv-00711.

NATURE OF THE SETTLEMENT

A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit about whether BSH Home Appliances Corporation, including its parent company and related entities (specifically, Bosch Und Siemens Hausgerate) (“BSH”) manufactured, marketed, advertised, and sold certain washing machines that may have a tendency to develop mold, mildew, bacteria, and foul odors.

Plaintiffs alleged that BSH acted negligently, deceptively and improperly in designing, manufacturing, marketing, selling, and servicing the Washers, that the Washers had an undisclosed propensity to develop bacteria, mold and foul odors, (“BMFO”), that undisclosed tasks were required to abate or ameliorate BMFO, and that BSH violated state consumer protection statutes, engaged in common law fraudulent concealment/nondisclosure, breached the express and implied warranties for the Washers, and was unjustly enriched.

THE SETTLEMENT CLASS

The Settlement Class includes all U.S. residents who purchased a 27” Bosch Nexxt, Bosch Vision, or Siemens ultraSense front-loading washing machines (“Washer”) for personal use.

If you are NOT the original retail purchaser of a Washer, you are not included in the Class.
