Southern District of California
Case No. 3:11-CV-00064-MMA (DTBx)

Update: On April 23, 2013, the Court entered the Order on Final Approval of Class Action Settlement, Attorneys' Fees, Costs, and Incentive Award. A copy of the Order can be viewed here. Class Members that submitted timely valid claim forms can expect distributions to be sent in early September.

This website informs you of a proposed Settlement of class action claims against Kason Industries, Inc. and Component Hardware Group, Inc. alleging that Defendants conspired to fix prices for food service equipment component hardware manufactured by them (but not purchased directly from these two companies), in violation of federal and state anti-trust and unfair competition laws. The Lawsuit seeks damages and restitution of funds that Plaintiff and potential class members paid, an Order enjoining Defendants from engaging in any conduct that violates such laws, attorneys’ fees, and costs of suit.

If you are a Settlement Class Member who does not request to be excluded from the Settlement Class and submits a Claim, you can receive a cash refund for the purchase price of such items based on a Plan of Allocation. The plan of Allocation can be viewed by clicking here.
