The plaintiffs claimed they and others had been assessed a tax by the city for services, such as teletypewriter exchange services, that were not a part of modern phone services. The plaintiffs accused the city of continuing to collect the tax in direct violation of the Federal Excise Tax and after the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) had ceased collecting the tax in 2006.

A pair of commercial truck parking heater manufacturers were accused of inflating the prices of their product — a device truckers use to keep the cabin warm when the engine is not running. Both direct and indirect purchasers filed claims over alleged antitrust actions by Espar and Webasto, the manufacturers.
In the indirect purchasers class action lawsuit, the companies agree to pay $7.7 million to end the litigation, without admitting any wrongdoing. Consumers who purchased an Espar- or Webasto-branded parking heater or commercial vehicle with an Espar- or Webasto-branded parking heater between Oct. 1, 2007, and Dec. 31, 2012, could claim a portion of the settlement amount.
