Pocket Hose settlement

Telebrands has agreed to settle a class action lawsuit that alleges some of the advertising and product labels for Pocket Hose were false and misleading, and that the Pocket Hose was defective. If you purchased the Pocket Hose in the United States between Nov. 6, 2009 and Jan. 30, 2014, you may be eligible for compensation from the class action settlement.

Who’s Eligible

Class Members of the Pocket Hose settlement include all persons who purchased a Pocket Hose for personal use, and not for re-sale, from Nov. 6, 2009 until Jan. 30, 2014.

Potential Award

Up to $20 per Pocket Hose purchased.

  • Class Members who return the Pocket Hose to the Settlement Administrator and provide a copy of the receipt memorializing the purchase of the products will receive $20 for each Pocket Hose purchased during the Class Period.
  • Class Members who provide a copy of the receipt memorializing the purchase of the Pocket Hose, but who do not return the products to the Settlement Administrator will receive a total of $12 for each Pocket Hose purchased during the Class Period.
  • Class Members who neither return the Pocket Hose nor provide a valid receipt, but who substantiate their claims through a submission of the Claim Form attesting to their purchase of the products under penalty of perjury may be eligible to receive a total of $6.

UPDATE: Payments from the Pocket Hose class action settlement appear to have been mailed in early May 2015. Several viewers have reported to Top Class Actions that they received checks worth $6 from the Pocket Hose settlement on or around May 11. There is no update on the Settlement Administrator site at this time confirming this.

Not required. However, providing proof of purchase will increase the amount of benefits that you are entitled to receive from the class action settlement.

    It’s rediculous that there’s no number to speak with a live rep on this settlement

  2. Max says:

    For the curious. Looks like the case concluded in August 2014, so the administrator is probably waiting on funds. Either that, or they disqualified everyone since nobody would provide their SSN.

    Trying to post a substantive update, but the mods keep deleting. I guess TCA doesn’t want the outcome known.

    ANY REAL UPDATES.

    1. dustin martin says:

      I have not heard of any

  6. A. Macintire says:

    For a lousy $20 they want my social?! And who the heck is going to still have a receipt for a garden hose bought before summer started? There is a guarantee, I own the stupid hose with a hole in it. They ask for the receipt because they are counting on the fact that people won’t have it. They sold a lie and cheated people based on that lie, they should not be allowed to make a refund contingent on the proof of purchase. When they get my hose back, it will be tied into a noose. I hope they get the message.

  7. Kim says:

    Top class ? Any updates ?
