Canadians who bought electronics from 2004 to 2010 can get a refund
Proofs are not required.
The Canadian lawsuit, in which several representatives of major electronics manufacturers were accused of excessively inflating the price of optical disc drives between 2004 and 2010, is over.
An optical disc drive is a storage device that reads and writes data from CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs and is found in computers, game consoles, and players.
The suit alleges that manufacturers BenQ, Hitachi-LG, NEC, Panasonic, Phillips, Pioneer, Quanta, Sony, TEAC and Toshiba Samsung did not comply with the rules of fair competition, but colluded and artificially inflated prices.
A $29.7 million CAD settlement was a condition of the settlement, so consumers — individuals and businesses — are entitled to claim a $20 CAD refund without proof of purchase. In the event a consumer wants a larger refund, a receipt will be required.
You will need to apply electronically at the specialized website to receive payment. The promotion will run until November 14, 2022.
