How to Take Part in a Lawsuit Against Apple’s Horrific MacBook Keyboards
A California judge upheld a class action lawsuit against Apple over the damaging design of the butterfly keyboard used in MacBook, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models manufactured between 2015 and 2019. The case alleges that Apple knowingly sold the fragile keyboards despite numerous complaints and requests to repair a broken, unresponsive keyboard – and while you can’t join the lawsuit yet, it’s something you can do right now to help build a case against the company. …
According to the MacBook Pro Keyboard Litigation website , the class action lawsuit applies to “all persons who bought, except resale, in California, New York, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, Washington, DC, or Michigan an Apple MacBook in any of the 2015-2017 , Apple MacBook Pro of any model year 2016–2019 (excluding the 16 [inch] MacBook Pro introduced in November 2019) or Apple MacBook Air of any model year 2018–2019. “
The legal team is looking for a nationwide certification that would expand the class action to include all US customers who purchased one of the MacBook models in the lawsuit. This is good news for MacBook or MacBook Pro owners who have struggled with faulty Butterfly keyboards, but it’s important to note that this decision simply means the lawsuit could be moving forward. The judge has not made a decision in any way, there are no settlements or decisions yet.
However, if you are having problems with the butterfly keyboard, you can submit your feedback through the survey on the website . The survey is open to all US customers who have purchased a MacBook or MacBook Pro, even if you are not subject to a class action lawsuit. You can fill out one form if you bought multiple MacBooks or MacBook Pros and you do not need to provide proof of purchase (although the questionnaire asks if you have one).
Please be aware that completing the questionnaire does not mean that you are participating in a class action lawsuit or representing the interests of Girard Sharp’s lawyers, and does not give you a prior right to receive any compensation based on the results of the litigation. Completing the form, however, could help support the case against Apple and its faulty butterfly keyboard and help expand the class action lawsuit to attract more customers.
