Some consumers who have purchased home appliances with the “Energy Star” efficiency rating may not have received the appliance they bargained for.
Sheller, P.C. is investigating a potential class action lawsuit involving appliances that were labeled to sell with an "Energy Star" efficiency rating, but in fact did not qualify. Energy Star appliances are generally required to use 10% to 35% less energy than standard models, depending on the type of appliance. Manufacturers of Energy Star appliances typically charge a premium above the price of standard models.
If you purchased any of the appliances listed below, and you would like to discuss your legal rights, please contact us at 800-833-2299, or visit us online at www.sheller.com
