N.J. and Fla. Consumers May Be Able to File a Samsung Plasma TV Lawsuit

New Jersey and Florida consumers may be eligible to file a Samsung Plasma TV lawsuit due to alleged defects. According to research and other people who have filed a Samsung Plasma TV lawsuit, units manufactured between 2009 and 2014 may experience premature failure.

Consumers: Device Overheats and Breaks Down Well Before Expected

According to consumers who have already filed a Samsung Plasma TV lawsuit, the internal components of the Samsung Plasma TV may overheat, causing early failure. Samsung allegedly knew about the issues but did not warn customers that the televisions would have a shorter life span as a result of these defects.

Consumers who purchased Samsung plasma TVs in New Jersey or Florida may be able to participate in a class action investigation. Recently, Samsung Electronics America Inc. found themselves facing three different class action lawsuits over allegations that they knew about the risk of premature failure but did not warn consumers about the problems.

When consumers discover that many of the products within a line are experiencing similar issues, this does not always lead to a recall. Some consumers may share their stories with the news media, others may file lawsuits based on the alleged defects, and still others may contact the company directly to ask about resolutions.

As a result of the many different avenues for people to pursue, it can take months or years for consumers to realize they were not the only ones dealing with a serious issue. Together, those consumers might decide to file a class action lawsuit based on their similar experiences.

Lawsuits Filed Over Samsung TV Problems

The first of these Samsung plasma TV lawsuits came from a man who experienced his television turning off and on all by itself within a few years of it being purchased.

When he contacted the manufacturer, he was told by Samsung that it was no longer under warranty and that he would have to schedule and pay for any repair costs. According to his further research, he identified that the capacitors and other internal components caused early device failure.

In the second Samsung plasma TV lawsuit, plaintiffs alleged that similar failures occurred. Samsung discontinued their manufacturing process for plasma TVs on Nov. 30, 2014. The fact that no new devices were being generated made the TVs very difficult or impossible to repair.

Many consumers anticipate that when they make an investment in a television, particularly an expensive plasma TV, that it will last for eight years or more continuously. Since plasma televisions are more costly to manufacture than LED or LCD TVs, it is anticipated that this will put more pressure on the internal components of the TVs.

When these are exposed to high levels of heat, the TVs may malfunction. Those consumers in New Jersey and Florida who have already experienced this problem and believe they have grounds to file a Samsung Plasma TV lawsuit should consider getting involved in a class action investigation.
