(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 24, 2012 ) New York, NY – The Energy Star class action lawyers working with Class Action.org are investigating a potential case involving certain appliances which were sold under the “Energy Star” label, but according to allegations, did not meet the program’s energy efficiency requirements. Most Energy Star appliances are sold at a higher price than standard models, based on promises that they will save the consumer money on their utility bills. If a consumer bought an appliance which was wrongfully sold under the Energy Star label, it could be alleged that they paid a higher price for a product that does not provide the benefit of lower energy bills. Potentially, consumers who purchased these products may be able to seek compensation for their losses through an Energy Star class action lawsuit. To view the entire list of appliances under investigation, please visit http://www.classaction.org/energy-star-appliances.html.
A number of appliances, including dishwashers, refrigerators and freezers, specific to brand and model number, are believed to have been sold as meeting Energy Star requirements, even though they did not qualify. Typically, appliances must use 10% to 35% less energy than standard models to carry the Energy Star label. These products are generally priced higher, as they promise to save consumers money on their utility bills and over time generate enough savings to make up for the higher up-front price.
Consumers who bought an appliance which provided this promise through its labeling, but did not deliver, may have legal recourse against the manufacturer through an Energy Star class action lawsuit. Potentially, these individuals may be able to file a collective claim in court seeking financial compensation for damages, including the higher-up front cost of the appliance.

The Energy Star class action lawyers are providing a free, no obligation case review to any consumer who purchased the appliances listed on the website.
