Plaintiffs sought in potential battery-life class action

Posted by David Meyer

A Californian law firm is looking for potential plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit over laptop makers' battery life claims.

Girard Gibbs has put up a webpage referring to AMD's claims that "many laptop battery manufacturers calculate battery life based on a misleading test that is conducted by running computers at low energy levels, resulting in seemingly larger life span numbers".

"If you believe that your laptop battery has a shorter life span than what was advertised or represented to you, or if you would like to learn more about our investigation, please fill out the form on the right for a free consultation," the law firm urges.

Girard Gibbs says it has, in the past, achieved "significant recoveries" from companies including Apple, Sony BMG, MCI, AT&T, Mitsubishi, BMW, Whirlpool, America Online, and Paypal.
