Tipping Stoves

Miami, FL: (Dec-17-07) A class action lawsuit was brought against Sears, over improperly installed stoves the company sold at its stores. Sources close to the case stated that the company had reached a settlement in which it agreed to install anti-tip brackets on stoves or give rebates if customers paid for installation. Under the deal, the class would include anyone who purchased a free standing or slide-in range from Sears between July 2, 2000 and Sept. 18, 2007. Sears must have delivered the stove but brackets were not installed. Those qualified would receive free bracket installation or a $50 Sears gift card toward a new Sears range. Consumers who later paid for installation may be reimbursed up to $100. [SUN SENTINEL: SEARS STOVES]
