Current Investigations

If you pay to play slots through an app, the attorneys of Davis & Norris would like to speak to you about our current investigation into developers and promoters of such gaming.

Typically, these gaming apps offer free play to entice players to play. However, many players eventually pay money to continue playing the game and winning only provides more plays of the game.

A recent article highlights the addictive nature of this type of  gaming.

If you paid to play slots through an app, please answer a few questions below and a member of firm will evaluate whether you may have a claim.

Why were these Harbor Freight Jack Stands Recalled?

From the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Safety Recall reports, the 3 Ton Heavy Duty Steel Jack Stands suffered from inconsistencies in production due to the aging of the tooling. Additionally, the 3 Ton Heavy Duty Steel Jack had inconsistent location indexing of the pawl armature hole.

The 6 Ton Heavy Duty Steel Jack Stands, like the 3 Ton, suffered from inconsistent product quality due to the aging of the tool.

All these jacks were manufactured by Jiaxing Golden Roc Tools, Co. , LTD.

What Harbor Freight is doing about the problem

Harbor Freight has indicated that it has removed all the jacks from inventory. Additionally, Harbor Freight Tools will provide a gift card equal to the shelf price of the these jack stands to all customers who have purchased them.

UPDATE

A recent article indicates that the new 3 ton replacement stand sold at  Harbor Freight may have issues related to the weld.

Harbor Freight has confirmed the defect in the replacement  3 ton jack stands (Part No. 56373).

What to do if you suffered injury or property damage due to the recalled Harbor Freight Jack Stands

As one article noted, Harbor Freight sold nearly 2 million of these jack stands. A bump or knock may drop the vehicle suddenly because these jack stands do not lock in place.

If you owned any of these recalled jack stands or any other jack stand from Harbor Freight and experienced a sudden drop in a lifted vehicle after locking the jack stand, please answer a few questions below to learn what options you may have to pursue a claim against the company.

Davis & Norris’s Campaign against mislabeled “Made in USA”  Consumer Product

Since its inception, our firm’s focus has been on protecting the consumer from corporate greed. Nowhere is that more evident than a series of cases our attorneys pursued against businesses that incorrectly labeled their consumer products as “Made in USA.” After those cases were filed, there were a number of consumer products (pet food, vitamins, snack bars, etc.) that changed the labeling of their products from “Made in USA” to “Made in USA with ingredients from around the world” or removed all references to “Made in USA” from their labels.In addition to seeing those changes on store shelves, our firm was able to recover monies for clients that purchased those consumer products.

Williams-Sonoma Brands and “Made in USA”

On April 1st, 2020, the FTC announced a settlement with Williams-Sonoma. The company has agreed to stop making false, misleading, or unsubstantiated ‘Made in the USA’ claims for several of their houseware and furniture product lines. As part of the settlement, Williams-Sonoma is required to pay $1 million to the FTC.

In the FTC complaint, the government identified a variety of products it believed were incorrectly identified as “Made in the USA” by Williams-Sonoma, including:

• Goldtouch Bakeware
• Rejuvenation-branded products
• Pottery Barn Teen and Pottery Barn Kids-branded upholstered furniture products

The complaint indicates Williams-Sonoma does business as a number of companies, such as:

• Williams-Sonoma
• Williams-Sonoma Home
• Pottery Barn
• Pottery Barn Kids
• Pottery Barn Teen
• West Elm
• Rejuvenation
• Outward
• Mark & Graham
