February 7, 2019 at 2:30 p.m. — Fairness Hearing
A proposed Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Monster, Inc., Best Buy Stores, L.P., and BestBuy.com, LLC (referred to in the Notice as “Defendants”) challenging representations that were made on the packaging of certain Monster HDMI Cables. The Court has not decided who is right in the lawsuit.
If you purchased a Monster HDMI Cable with an advertised bandwidth exceeding 10.2 Gbps between August 25, 2011 and March 6, 2018, you are a Class Member and you may be eligible to submit a claim to receive a cash payment or online store credit. The Settlement provides Class Members with the choice of three benefit options that range in value from $10 to $35, depending on the option chosen.
Your legal rights are affected whether you act or do not act. Read the Notice and the information on this Settlement Website carefully. Your rights and options, and the deadlines to exercise them, are explained in the Notice.
The Court will decide whether to approve the Settlement. Proposed benefits to Class Members who do not exclude themselves from the Settlement will be distributed if the Court approves the Settlement. Please be patient and check this Settlement Website to find out when the benefits may be distributed.
