ASUS Transformer Prime Class Action Settlement

ASUS Transformer Prime Class Action Settlement

By Mike Holter

UPDATE: A federal judge granted final approval to the ASUS Class Action Settlement on July 15, 2013.

A California judge has preliminarily approved a $2.2 million class action lawsuit settlement that will provide cash payments of $17 to U.S. residents who purchased an ASUS Transformer Prime tablet. Class Members have until May 31, 2013 to file a claim.

The proposed ASUS Transformer Prime settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit (Fraser v. ASUS Computer International, et al.) alleging ASUS defectively designed the tablet with a metallic body that renders its GPS and Wifi capabilities useless. 

 
ASUS denies any wrongdoing and claims it addressed the problem by offering a free Dongle to Transformer Prime owners to help improve GPS signal reception. After lengthy negotiations, however, ASUS has agreed to a $2.2 million class action lawsuit settlement to resolve the litigation.

Class Members of the ASUS class action settlement include all U.S. residents who purchased an ASUS Eee Pad TF201 Transformer Prime and did not receive a full refund.

Class Members who submit a valid Claim Form by the deadline of May 31, 2013 will be eligible to receive a one-time cash payment of $17 and a free Dongle if they have not already received one. ASUS will continue their free Dongle program until the expiration of the claims period..

A Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for July 11, 2013.
