Greg Coleman along with co-counsel Wexler Wallace LLP and Hansen Reynolds Dickinson Crueger LLC, has obtained a settlement with a minimum settlement value of more than $35.5 million in a nationwide product liability class action against Electrolux Home Products, Inc. The case was filed in the Central District of California before United States District Judge Christina Snyder. At the final approval hearing, Judge Snyder recognized that the settlement confers significant benefits to Class members, totaling a minimum of $35.5 million in projected-utilization values. An order granting final approval was entered on September 11, 2014.

The lawsuit sought relief on behalf of a nationwide class of consumers who purchased allegedly dangerous and defective clothes dryers from Electrolux marketed under a variety of brands, including Electrolux, Frigidaire, and Kenmore. Plaintiffs allege that the design, which allows lint to accumulate next to the heat source, has caused thousands of dryer fires throughout the United States, and that fires are made more dangerous by Electrolux's use of flammable plastic parts.
