Bill,
I received a letter from a legal firm saying since I had purchased a
compressor, I was a plaintiff in a class action suit against whatever
partent company produced the Black Max sold thru Sam's club, maybe
DeVilbiss. The claim was based on allegations the company lied in
advertising about its compressor's horsepower ratings. I've been happy with
the compressor, didn't buy based on horsepower, and generally I am against
class actions. IMHO, too many times is seems like extortion, and no one was
truly hurt because of a bad design, faulty materials, etc. Seems the laywers
get all the money, and busines' liablilty insurance continues to rise, which
we all pay for as consumers.

Hello All,
Back a year ago or so I received a post, I believe on the Healey List or the
Healey Mod List, that was about air compressor price fixing. At the time I
thought it probably wasn't worth the bother. Well I changed my mind and
registered at the Claims Litigation web site. The other day I got a snail
mail letter stating that the case has been settled and that I have been
"deemed eligible to receive an Award". The awards vary from combinations of
DeVilbiss small air hand tools to air hoses.
Has anyone else been contacted ?
