I find it very amusing.
A settlement like this does not make the buyer whole. The buyer who 
purchased a product in good faith is not compensated by buying an 
additional product that he/she may or may not need or want nor by being 
given an additional product. It doesn't address the original claim, that 
the product they were sold was knowingly deficient.
I recently received notice of a class action settlement on a stock 
purchase. It stated that since the amount of my settlement was less than 
$10.00, I would not receive anything. My questions are: How many 
participants settlements fell into that category?, What did these 
amounts total?, and Who got THAT money?
We all know who got that money. The "ambulance chaser". I actually 
passed a Ford Explorer a few weeks ago. It was painted white with LARGE 
blue writing (18" letters?) all over it advertising a certain injury law 
firm in CT. I couldn't believe it. Sad.
End of Rant
