Somebody's always waiting for that "big payoff", too bad it rarely
happens. Class action suits are a great way for lots of people to pay a
law-firm big money. In the end, it's here's your miniscule check, yes,
that's what you get after being split between X-number of plaintiffs.
Of course we took our cut right off the top...

I can't see anyone actually suing (much less a class action suit) over a
freezer being mislabelled as energy efficient. For all we know there
were two guys in the warehouse who were given pre-printed labels and
told to slap them on the freezers. I would need to see proof the
company, resaler, whatever, purposely misrepresented the product before
awarding anyone any money.
